The sitters your pets want

37, Foreign trade analyst

32, Software developer

Hi there!

We are Sonia and Leandro, a couple in our mid-30s and devoted pet lovers, who have been living in New Zealand for almost 2 years. We are experienced pet sitters, very clean, tidy, responsible with animals and respectful of property. Our reviews speak for ourselves.

I (Leandro) work as a software engineer in a hybrid system (3 days from home), while Sonia is foreign trade analyst and works from home, so we'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. As I am working in CBD, we would prefer a house within an hour’s commute to/from there.

We have our own car but do not require covered parking. We don’t have pets, nor kids and we don't smoke, host parties, or use drugs. We love peace and quiet.

Our commitment is to leave your house as we found it and make sure the animals are even happier than before. We'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can rest assured that your furry friends are in safe hands.

Can't wait to meet you

Cheers :D

I can’t recommend Sonia and Leo highly enough. From the beginning we knew they were a perfect fit, we had asked them to come over and meet us and the cats beforehand. One cat is a bit anxious but they hit it off right away. While we were away Sonia and Leo took amazing care of Beanies and Daisy, spoiling them with lots of games and attention, winning them over instantly. They sent us updates regularly giving us peace of mind. They also took wonderful care of the house, which was spotless when ... MORE

Fantastic pet sitter, kept me updated with pictures and videos which put me totally at ease. Faddie had a great time from all the pictures and videos. Will definitely ask to pet sit again in the future

Great sitters. Nicky cat obviously had a lovely time and was looking great when we returned. House plants did better under Leandro and Sonia's care than with us! Thank you

Sonia and Leandro were fantastic. I was worried our cat wouldn't want to see us when we got back because they got along so well! Communication was fantastic, our cat was super happy and well cared for and we returned to a very clean house. Would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and would happily have them sit for us again if the opportunity arises.
 
MAREE (Panmure North Island, Aug 2024 - 1 month 1 week)
It is my great pleasure to recommend Leandro and Sonia for house sitters. Leandro cared for our home for 10 weeks in Pt Chevalier recently. When we first met Leandro, my husband and I were impressed with his soft nature, his approach and affection towards our dog and the way he assured us of his capabilities. We were not disappointed. Although his partner, Sonia, could not get her visa in time to join Leandro, we were confident and assured that all was well back home under Leandro's ... MORE

Leandro asked the right questions from the beginning, showing that he understands how to care for pets and a house. The communication throughout the duration was on point.

You will be incredibly lucky to have Sonia and Leandro to petsit for you. Wonderful communication beforehand and lovely photo updates while I was away. Leandro went above and beyond to take care of my house and my cats - he was so good at playing with them, I think my cats had a better holiday than I did!
 
ANGELA (Otahuhu North Island, Mar 2024 - 2 weeks 1 night)
Sonia & Leo recently looked after our house, we returned to find a very tidy and clean house, fresh milk in the fridge, thank you so much. Originally Sonia had met our Ragdoll Cat and was keen to look after while we were away, but sadly got sick and passed away. We have no hesitation in recommending Sonia & Leo to future house sits.
 
PETER & RAEWYN (Avondale/Blockhouse Bay North Island, Jan 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Highly recommend Sonia and Leandro as pet sitters. Our cat could not wish for better carers. They left the house very clean and kept us up to date with our cat's adventures while we were gone. Could not be happier!

House Security

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
