We were very nervous leaving our small dog as we had never left him before. Jackie arrived and our dog fell in love with her straight away. We felt very comfortable leaving him. Jackie treated our house as her own. It was in perfect condition when we arrived home. There was even a small baked treat waiting for us.
Jackie is a lovely lady and we would highly recommend if you are looking for a house/pet sitter.
Thank you Jackie.

Jackie and Tony were our first house sitters. We were very nervous about leaving our dogs, but they put us at ease, with daily photos and updates. The house was immaculate and even fish in the freezer.
Highly recommended!! Gaylene

Would highly recommend and be happy for them to house sit again.
JULIE (Napier North Island, Aug 2024 - 5 nights)
Jackie & Tony are great house/dog sitters!
Have had them before, it was great that they came again.
Everything was even tidier then when I left and they left me flowers. :0
Would use them anytime! Thanks to both of you!

RUBY (Mount Maunganui North Island, Jun 2024 - 2 nights)
Very happy I chose Jackie and her husband to look after my house and dog whilst I went away.
I felt reassured that my dog would be well looked after, and she was.
I came home to a beautifully clean home which was very pleasant.
Great communication too.
FLORENCE (Otumoetai North Island, Dec 2023 - 3 nights)
Jackie and Tony are fantastic!!! It was the first time we have left our baby, and we felt soo comfortable with them. Their communication is wonderful, they have such a warm, comforting and playful side Goose loved them! They sent little updates while we where away, and left the house spotless!!! Goose sulked when we arrived home instead of Jackie and Tony. Thank you for letting us have a much needed stress free trip away, and caring for our home and baby like it was your own!
SOPHIE (Raureka North Island, Oct 2023 - 4 nights)
Jackie and Tony are fabulous house/pet sitters. Such a lovely couple. Great communication and the house was left spotless. It was great to know that Sox was in such great hands. I certainly hope they can house/dog sit for me again.
ANNA (Owhata North Island, Sep 2023 - 6 days)
Jackie and Tony were great house sitters. We came home to a happy cat, clean house and even some
essential supplies. Would definitely recommend.
GWEN (Papamoa/Te Puke , Sep 2023 - 2 weeks)
Thank you so much for looking after our home and of course Baxter.
We had a slight problem with our original sitter not being able to make it and Jackie & Tony came to the rescue. We are so grateful for their help. Their communication was fantastic, and they left the house in a spotless state.
We can both highly recommend Jackie & Tony for a sit.
We hope to see you guys again soon.
Thank you once again.
CHRIS (Mt Pleasant South Island, Aug 2023 - 10 Days)
Jackie and Tony left the house spotless, changed the sheets for us and did the laundry, as well as taking good care of our dog Bruno. We were so happy that they came to stay and that everything worked out perfectly and would love to have them back again.
KARLA (Seatoun North Island, Jul 2023 - 7 days)
Jackie and Tony looked after our home and chickens whilst we were away and it was great to come home and find everything just perfect. Washing on the line and a clean house. Thanks and I highly recommend
CHARLOTTE (Strathmore North Island, Jun 2023 - 5 nights)
Jackie was super easy to deal with and very flexible when my plans were thrown into array last minute.
Super calm and lovely to have around. Doggie was instantly at ease with her.
Left the house absolutely immaculate, brought their own linen so I didn’t need to worry about that either. Legend 😊
Super accomodating and lovely. Highly recommend.
PAULA (Bellevue North Island, Mar 2023 - 2 days)
Highly recommend! Jackie was very easy going and easy to organise the sit with, The cats were happy and relaxed and it was reassuring receiving photos while we were away. Was lovely to come back to all the linen washed and the house very clean. Thank You Jackie and Tony.
INGRID (Papamoa Beach North Island, Mar 2023 - 2 days)
Jackie and Tony are the nicest people and absolutely outstanding house sitters!
They were so kind and friendly.
Took great care of the house and our cat! And we would highly recommend them to anyone!
Hope to cross paths with them again.
MICHELLE (Boulcott North Island, Aug 2022 - 5 days)
Jackie made us feel so safe and comfortable and did an amazing job looking after our cat and home. Thank you!
TODD (Waiwhetu North Island, Mar 2022 - 2 weeks)
Jackie and Tony left the house clean and tidy and were very accommodating after we had to return home a fraction early from our trip due to weather.
All animals were alive and well.
They kept in great communication with me throughout their stay.
I would certainly have them sit again and recommend.
SARAH (Bluff Hill North Island, Feb 2022 - 1 week 1 day)
I cannot thank Jackie and Tony enough for the care they took of Socks, our cat, and our home. They arrived the night before, as I get a bit anxious before leaving Socks, and straight away I felt relaxed and knew our companion and home were in the best hands. Jackie communicated well, giving me updates and sending me a merry Christmas from Socks, with photo attached.

Jackie communicated well, giving me updates and sending me a merry Christmas from Socks, with photo attached. We arrived home to a spotless home ( I must apologize Jackie as I see I missed cleaning the slop bucket and kettle, which you have done) and a very content cat. He was a lot less needy than normal after someone else has stayed with him. I would have Jackie and Tony back any time
MANDY (Waihau beach North Island, Dec 2021 - 1 week)
Great house sitters! Communication was great, house was immaculate and Percy was a very happy cat :)
Wouldn't hesitate to have them back!
JOCASTA (Titahi Bay North Island, Aug 2021)
Jackie and Tony helped us out at very short notice, when we had to go out of town for a funeral. They are a lovely couple and even though it was our first meeting, we felt confident leaving them with our two dogs and cat. Communication was excellent, they always replied promptly and kept us up to date with text messages.
We came home to content pets and a clean and tidy house. We'd definitely recommend them to other pet owners and hope that we can use them again in the future.
MICHELLE (Bethlehem , Jun 2021 - 3 days)
I felt very comfortable indeed leaving my house and cat Mindy in Jackie and Tony's capable hands. They are a mature couple (which is why I felt so comfortable with them in the house) who communicated with the occasional photo of Mindy and I found the house immaculate on my return. Many thanks indeed Jackie & Tony.
CHRISTINE (Pyes Pa North Island, Apr 2021 - 2 weeks)
Excellent house sitting from Jackie and Tony. I came home to a sparkling house and happy, well-cared for cats (despite their insistence of starvation and neglect, their appearance shows otherwise!).
HEATHER (Welcome Bay North Island, Mar 2021 - 1 week)
We feel very lucky to have had our cat and house looked after by such kind and responsible people. Jackie and Tony house sat for us at very short notice and we were very grateful for their help. They took care of everything perfectly and we would love to have them back again.
TAMMY (Tauranga South , Mar 2021 - 3 days)
Jackie and Tony are amazing! We couldn't have asked for a more lovely, trustworthy and caring couple to look after our home and fur babies whilst we went away. Jackie and Tony made the time to come meet us prior to our holiday which was so lovely. When we were away we got little updates about our pets and felt so at ease they were in great hands.

NICOL (Papamoa North Island, Feb 2021 - 3 nights)
My first house sit experience so I was slightly apprehensive but Jackie and Tony couldn't have been better. Looked after my home and my timid old dog beautifully and kept in touch so I was able to feel reassured and enjoy my week away. Would love to have you back!
ELIZABETH (Ohauiti North Island, Jan 2021 - 1 week)
We are super grateful and impressed with the house sitting of Jacki and Tony. Attention to detail like watering of garden care of Ruby and pigeon up dates was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. House immaculate on return. I'm still finding little surprises in my pantry ( Xmas Dessert) & freezer. Awesome series of communication and up dates. We are super grateful and would highly recommend Jacki and Tony for house sitting. Thank you.
ROSE (Omanawa Road , Dec 2020 - 1 week 3 days)
Jackie and Tony responded quickly to our ad and keep us well informed while we were away. They did a fantastic job house sitting our dog and cat and it was nice to come home to a clean and tidy house even the washing folded. Would reccomend to anyone who wants someone trustworthy and responsible to look after their house and pets.
MICHAEL (Bellevue North Island, Dec 2020 - 1 day)
Lovely couple left the house tidier than they found it Thanks all the animals great and really enjoyed the conversations Thanks Again will have you back if I go away again Marg
MARGARET (East Taieri South Island, Aug 2020 - 1 week)
Jackie and Tony were great to deal with and looked after Mitzy and our house perfectly. Would thoroughly recommend them.
LORETTA AND ANDREW (Bridge Hill South Island, Jul 2020 - 5 days)
Wow! Jackie and Tony were just fantastic for our boys. Communication from the get go was fantastic. We have two dogs with very different personalities but as soon as Jackie walked in she was cuddling Oscar who doesn't usually like to be picked up. Unfortunately I was a bit stressed before they arrived and had printed out instructions, however Jackie texted me later that day just to check if the boys did get fed in the evening which they do do but I had left it off the instructions!

Was so impressed and knew our boys were in good hands when she did. The house was awesome to come back to and both the boys were incredibly chilled and relaxed when we got home. Would happily have Jackie and Tony back to house sit again and recommend, they made going away very easy and comforting
PIP (Grenada Village North Island, Jul 2020 - 3 days)
Jackie and Tony were a last minute request as my usual house sitters had a tangi. They drove down from Whakatane to look after our property and did an excellent job. We have one cat and a large garden. I had a few seedlings that needed lots of TLC and they received that. Would have them again anytime.
HILARY (Napier North Island, Feb 2020 - 5 days)
Jackie and Tony were fabulous house sitters. I came home to a lovely clean house with all the washing done and folded. My animals and my garden were both very well looked after. I would have them stay again, if they would like to be here.
Thanks for a worry free sit, Jackie and Tony.
LYN (Tauranga North Island, Jan 2020 - 4 days)
We can't thank you enough, Tony.
The dog had been at the front door for long days waiting for you to return.
We knew our pet had been delighted with your excellent care.
The house was immaculate.
Tony was a fantastic housesitter.
We highly recommend Tony.
NORA (Te Awanga , Nov 2019 - 1 week)

We are having them come sit again next January.
Would recommend highly.

Jackie and Tony were great house sitters for my home and dog Millie.
Everything was left clean and tidy and the linen washed. Millie was obviously well cared for and happy.
Tony had kindly fixed a towel rack in the bathroom
The communication was great and I would recommend this couple to anyone.Thank you.
CARRIE (Te Awamutu North Island, Oct 2019 - 4 days)
Jackie and Tony were amazing'dog whisperers'! They immediately bonded with Mac and took him on great adventures, lots of walks and taught him a few new tricks! So nice to go on holiday knowing that he was in great hands. Very warm and enthusiastic people who took great care of our house and we would highly recommend them to others.
PAM (Milford North Island, Sep 2019 - 2 weeks 4 days)
Jackie and Tony are a super nice couple, easy to communicate with, and very respectful of owners wishes. Meeting with them before they confirmed the house-sit made us feel very confident in their ability to look after our home and pets as we would expect. On our return home, the house was clean, linen washed, and most importantly our cats and dog were obviously well cared for. Highly recommend Jackie and Tony.
HELEN (Whakatane , Aug 2019 - 1 week 3 days)
I cannot recommend Jackie and Tony highly enough. This was my first time using an internet site for a housesit so I was unsure of what to expect. Jackie was great to communicate with and explain the process. I found we had plenty of opportunity to get the necessary arrangements in place before we headed overseas. Tony and Jackie are both very kind, practical and optimistic people. Anyone would be lucky to have them take care of their home and pets. Thank you both!!!
JULIA (Seatoun North Island, Aug 2019 - 2 weeks 4 days)
I would really really recommend Jackie and Tony as house sitters, they are such a lovely friendly couple and hopefully they can house sit for me again.
LESLEY (Wallaceville North Island, Jul 2019 - 3 weeks)
Jackie and Tony looked after our high energy 1 year old Labrador and home while we were on holiday for a week. We came home to a happy puppy and very tidy house !
We can't recommend them highly enough and so grateful we had them stay.
Thanks so much Jackie & Tony.
BREA AND MATT (Havelock North North Island, Oct 2018 - 6 days)
Jackie & Tony were awesome - they did a fantastic job looking after our furbaby and home while we were on our honeymoon. A super lovely couple, great communication - would defiantly use them again!
KIM (Welcome Bay North Island, Aug 2018 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Jackie and Tony looked after our house for a week. We returned to a happy family of pets and everything left perfectly. They are a lovely couple and I couldn't recommend them highly enough! Thank you!
TESSA (Napier North Island, Jul 2018 - 1 week)
Jackie was an excellent house sitter who looked after our 2 dogs like they were her own and even bought them treats :) She left the house very clean and tidy and we wouldn't have even known she was there - she also left milk, fresh fruit and biscuits for us which was very kind and sweet. Her communication was excellent and she was very reliable. We would highly recommend Jackie and look forward to the next time she house and pet sits for us.
