Melanie Harris

This was our first try with Kiwi house sitters, and Mel has been AWESOME! It couldn't have been any better: She communicated very well (before, during and after the sit), she helped finding a document that I forgot when we were away, and left the house incredibly clean for us to come back to. I'm sure our two cats enjoyed her stay, and we would love to see her back on our next trip.

Melanie was fantastic. Has a genuine fondness for animals and looked after our cat Rusty and our magpies excellently. Melanie was easy to communicate with and easy to relate to. Melanie also left our house sparling clean, which was nice to come home to. I would love to have her back again

We very much appreciated Melanie being able to housesit & look after Asha, who we think is a treasure. Melanie was amazing she connected with Asha straight away & also sent photos. Asha looked very happy & certainly relaxed. Melanie kept in touch, she even watered the garden, noticed it was very dry & that was much appreciated too as gardens can be such a lot of work. She kindly handed our house over to Felicity for the remainder of our time away & I am absolutely positive it would have ...

Thank you so much for looking after our home & little cat.🩷

, Once again we arrived home to a beautiful clean home and 1 very well cared for Dog. It’s great to receive your updates while we are away. We would recommend Melanie 100% Thanks Mel

Again, Mel has been wonderful! We have nothing to complain and can only highly recommend her for any housesit. She left the house clean, our garden beautiful and her comms are great. I will be in touch with her for our next trip!

Melanie looked after our cat, fish, house and garden in Wellington for 5 weeks. A lovely person, great communicator, and we came home to a well cared for home, and a happy cat! Highly recommended. Thanks for taking such good care of our place and pets Melanie, and it was lovely to get regular updates and photos while we were travelling.

Fabulous Lady, very friendly and caring. We received daily updates from her along with photos of Leo our Labradoodle. Our home and garden was well cared for. Even arrived home with all the laundry done and immaculate home. Thank You Melanie, totally recommend you for house sitting.

We returned home to a lovely tidy , clean house and a very happy princess 😺 of a cat who had obviously been thoroughly spoilt. All our pot plants were thriving beautifully and we couldn’t be more happy to recommend Melanie to look after your home , plants and pets.

Mel is amazing! She took wonderful care of our house and cat, Teddy. We highly recommend Mel.

Mel was absolutely fantastic! We were very happy with the level of care, communication and cleanliness in our house. We came home to a very relaxed, happy cat. We would highly recommend, and absolutely use her services again. Thanks Mel.

Mel was fabulous with my fur baby. I got photos and videos every day. Pepe loves her I think. I got the cold shoulder when I got home, he was quite happy with Mel thank you very much! House was in perfect condition when I got home, with sheets and towels already dry on the line, but it's really all about a happy fur baby for me.

Melanie is the perfect house and cat sitter for Mr Basil Black. She is a prompt and excellent communicator and clearly genuinely enjoyed Basil. Our house was perfect on return and she had hung out the sheets. We have already booked Melanie again for our next holiday.

Mel is absolutely faultless! Didn't want to review her vid I want her all for myself! Highly recommend, happy to provide further references on request.

Melanie went over and above to take care of my cat Feeby and our house while we were away for 10 weeks. The house was spotless when we returned and our cat was very happy and healthy. Melanie sent regular videos and photos of Feeby, and updates on any issues that came up at the house. This was my first time using kiwi house sitters so I was very anxious, we needed to find someone asap on very short notice. Melanie is very trustworthy and we were very blessed to have found her. I would 100 % ... MOREMelanie went over and above to take care of my cat Feeby and our house while we were away for 10 weeks.

I would 100 % recommend Melanie to anyone. I call her the cat whisperer, my cat absolutely loved her to bits and will miss her very much. Melanie even left some fresh flowers in our house on our return, it was such a lovely thought. If you are looking for someone one who adores all animals (especially cats) and will love them unconditionally, plus look after your house like it's their own then Melanie is that person. Absolutely superb 5 star.

Melanie is the best! What a wonderful housesitter. We were kept updated with regular pics and videos of our cat. She left our house spotlessly clean and kept our garden going. I will ask her to housesit for us again and highly recommend her as a housesitter. Thanks Melanie!
