Renee and Mark are very professional and experienced house sitters. From the outset the communication was excellent. They were careful to ensure that the house sit was right for both them and us. The house was spotless when I returned home, the garden was thriving and the animals were happy. I couldn't have asked for more.
 
JULIE (Hautere North Island, Nov 2023 - 1 week 4 nights)
We felt at ease from the first time we met Renee and Mark and they were amazing from start to finish! For five months they looked after our home and two cats Abby and Fergus. Communication was warm and friendly, before and during our time away. We received regular updates and photos. We came home to a spotlessly clean house and a pristine garden; it was clear our cats and home had been treated impeccably and with love/care. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Renee and Mark again and as it so ... MORE

Thank you Renee and Mark for looking after our home and cats while we were away. You provided a great first experience with Kiwi House Sitters & left the house nice and clean. We’re very grateful. All the best
 
MAIA (Kawaha Point North Island, Feb 2024 - 4 nights)
Renee and Mark were an absolute delight. So friendly, easy to deal with, funny and they aren't kidding when they say "we've done this before". They have and they are so terrific at caring for pets and places! If there was a higher rating than 5, they would have got it. From the onset they were flexible, easy to communicate with, patient & very understanding of my concerns in leaving our newly joined family member (8mth pup). They provided ample reassurance with great communication and pictures; ... MORE
 
ANDREA (Meadowood North Island, Jan 2024 - 1 week 4 nights)
Renee and Mark looked after our rural property and two cats over the summer. They are trustworthy and eager to respect our wishes on how to look after the house. Most of all, just down to earth and lovely people. I can wholeheartedly recommend them as house sitters. We came back to an immaculate house - inside and out. The cats were happy and so were we!
 
STEFANIE (Puhoi North Island, Dec 2023 - 3 weeks)
Renee and Mark are the perfect couple to look after our house and 2 cats. We had never had house sitters before and have quite a large garden and 2 slightly nervous spoilt cats. Nothing was a problem and they are so friendly and relaxed. We had a very good rapport right from the first meeting. We arrived home after 3 months to an immaculately clean house and a pristine garden. The cats were very settled and happy and spent the first couple of days looking for their favourite people Renee and ... MORE
 
JOHANNA (Manly North Island, Jul 2023 - 3 months)
Renee and Mark were perfect house sitters. They took awesome care of our home and cats. They were great communicators and our house and gardens were very tidy when we returned. They had done many extra things too. Highly recommended.
 
SUSAN (Pukekohe North Island, May 2023 - 2 months)
What a great experience I had with Renee and Mark, they took great care of Dana and my house. Really easy to communicate with them and meet up/organize the stay. Thank you a lot!
 
MIKKO (Tauranga / Ohauiti North Island, May 2023 - 5 days)
Awesome guests and super flexible with a short notice stay over Easter. Highly recommend them to house sit
 
ALASTAIR (RD 2, Titoki North Island, Apr 2023 - 3 days)
Renee and Mark were amazing from start to finish. The communication leading up to the sit was confidence building and during the sit itself was friendly and clear. It let me know exactly what was going on. Unfortunately for them (I felt so bad) they ended up having to deal with a medically needy cat (eyedrops 3 times a day!) and multiple vet visits over the 6 week stay. They did it all with great professionalism and good humour. Their conscientious care seriously helped my cats full ... MORE
 
AISLING (Glenfield North Island, Jun 2022 - 6 Weeks)
Renee and Mark looked after our house and rescue dog for a week while we were overseas and they were excellent sitters. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless house. They even fixed the latch on our gate! Lovely people, responsible and kind, and shared regular updates which we appreciated. Would happily invite them to sit for us again and recommend them to other homeowners.
 
ERIN (Glen Eden North Island, Jun 2022 - 6 nights)
Renee sat for us over a three week period while we were away and we could not have been more delighted with the way she looked after us, our animals and our property. Renee looked after the property like it was her own and it wasn't easy at this particular time of the year with the autumnal leaf drop, but Renee took it all in her stride and did a great job. The chickens were very well looked after and the cat was sad to see us return.. We would love to have Renee back to sit for us in the ... MORE
 
ROD (Waitakere North Island, May 2022 - 3 weeks)
Renee was absolutely fantastic. Came back to a clean house, happy well-looked after dog and she had even left some home-made chutney. Highly recommend Renee as a sitter.
