I am very experienced in house sitting, and have done for many years, with many repeat sits. Most sits have been done by Word of mouth. I have lots of repeat clients but do have a few spaces left to add new ones this year. Dont be shy in asking if Im available.

Ruth is a real gem! Very responsive in communication, our house was very well respected and spotless on our return. We live in a very small close knit community and I've had so much positive feedback from people. The most important however was how much love and care our Chocolate Lab Max received. He was very excited to see us on our return, but we noticed how happy he was. I can't recommend Ruth enough! She even spoiled us by leaving a supply of fresh milk, bacon and eggs in the fridge so we ... MORE

We were going overseas and needed someone to look after our home and pets. I contacted Kiwi House sitters and saw Ruth. She was available for the times we were away. She came to meet us and the animals prior to going. Pets liked her and so did we. We then confirmed the sit. She arrived a few hours before we left and the animals were more than happy to see her. Ruth kept in contact with us letting us know how things were going. We arrived back and the house was immaculate and the pets looked ... MORE

Ruth was the perfect house/pet sitter for us. We are sure Koko was spoilt by the attention lavished on her, and we returned to find everything in perfect order. Thanks Ruth.

We have had Ruth now 3 x and I have come to know her as a super trustworthy and loveable and capable woman of integrity . I feel like she has become a family member and I treat her as such. Always keeps in touch, even out of times of housesitting. Therefore we have booked her months in advanced. She does go above and beyond the normal house sitting and do extra jobs even though she doesn't have to. Such love and care goes into it from Ruth. A thousand thank you's would not be enough.

Ruth & Chris took great care of our cats & home, even did some organising for me. They were relaxed & easy going, not fussed at the unfinished reno's & happy to have a couple tradies turn up on their first day. Experienced sitters, highly recommended.

Green garden!

Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
