Kiwi House Sitters
The largest pet & house sitting site in New Zealand
Couple31, Owner of Modal Architecture
34, Software Developer
Hello! 😊
We’re Sam and Michelle, a professional couple in our early 30s with a love for animals and a deep respect for the homes we care for. Michelle is a software developer, and I run my own architecture business. The best part? I work from home, meaning your pets will have constant companionship, plenty of attention, and a reassuring presence throughout the day and evening.
Having owned, rented, and managed homes ourselves, we know how important it is to keep a place clean, secure, and well cared for. We bring that same level of respect and responsibility to every house sit, ensuring your home and pets are in safe hands.
Why Choose Us?
✔ Your pets will have all-day company – With me working from home, your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches. They’ll have someone home for playtime, walks, cuddles, and care throughout the day.
✔ Experienced animal lovers – We’ve both grown up with pets in our lives, so we’re comfortable caring for pets with different needs and personalities.
✔ Trustworthy and house-proud – We treat every home as if it were our own, keeping it clean, tidy, and well-maintained.
✔ Local and flexible – We live in Auckland and love house-sitting around the city. Originally from Wellington, we’re still exploring different neighbourhoods. We also enjoy house-sits in other parts of New Zealand to experience new places while providing peace of mind to homeowners.
Why We House-Sit
For us, house-sitting is about more than just a place to stay. It’s a chance to explore new places, care for animals, and give homeowners peace of mind while they travel. We love the variety and personal connections that come with house-sitting, and we take great pride in being the kind of sitters we’d want in our own home.
We know how important it is to find the right people to care for your home and pets while you're away. If you have any questions or would like to chat, we’d love to hear from you!
Sam & Michelle
We were so lucky to have Sam and Michelle look after our house and our dog for a month. Their communication before and during was great and we felt really well informed on Bruce’s progress. They provided unprompted updates and photos very regularly. Some friends saw them out walking Bruce and commented on how lovely they were and how happy Bruce was. We returned back to a very happy dog, a very clean house and the most amazing and thoughtful amounts of treats including lunch which was so ... MORE
Sam and Michelle were so lovely to deal with. Their communication was fantastic, they sent photos of mooses adventures and kept us up to date on how everything was going. The house was left so clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend.
Sam and Michelle looked after our home and dog, Remmy recently and we were so happy to have met them both. They were brilliant and loving to our Remmy and we came home to a spotless home, fresh sheets on the bed, washing done and a very happy content dog. Highly recommend this lovely couple
Sam and Michelle kept the house clean and tide. They cared for my 2 dogs as if they were their own dogs. I had regular communication and photos sent to me of the dogs which put me at easy and I was then able to enjoy my holiday.
Sam and Michelle took care of our older spaniel and home for nearly a month while we were in Europe. It was such a great experience - they came and met us beforehand, and once we were away kept in touch regularly, with pictures of our dog, and we could fully relax knowing she was in great hands. The house was beautifully tidy when we returned home and our dog was happy and healthy and had obviously been very well cared for. Highly recommend them, they are lovely people and great house sitters. ... MORE
Sam & Michelle did an excellent job looking after our pets while we were away, we even got some photo updates. We returned home to happy pets a clean house and even some sweet treats. We were very reassured that Ted & Lula were in good hands and that our property was being looked after so we could enjoy our time away. Communication was easy and they took the time to visit us before our trip so they could meet the pets and see how the house worked. A very successful Housesit and we are very ... MORE
Sam and Michelle were wonderful house sitters. Communication was regular and reassuring. The place was left immaculately clean and tidy, and they took thoughtful care of our cat. Wholeheartedly recommended!
Sam and Michelle were fabulous. They came and met us and our dog prior to our trip. They sent us video/photo updates most days whilst we were away. Our home was left clean and tidy on our return and our dog was happy and content. We would recommend Sam and Michelle as house sitters.
A house sitter provides loving, full-time, home-based pet-care while you're away.
