We were kept regularly informed about our dog's adventures and long walks and her general wellbeing; which was really important to us. On our return our home was immaculate and cars and bikes etc all clean and as we left them. We thoroughly enjoyed their company and the opportunity to get better acquainted over an evening meal before they had to head off to their next sit - leaving us with the task of consoling our dog. We sincerely hope that they will be available when we next head overseas.

Having Caroline and Andrew looking after our pets and our home was peace of mind for both of us while we were away. That was huge as we hadn't been away for over 3 years because I worried about who would look after my babies. This was a first time letting strangers into home. But it clicked for me when I read their review page. These are the people. I'm so happy with the experience. A big thank you to both Caroline and Andrew.

Caroline and Andrew were an absolute delight. We enjoyed a dinner together the night before our departure to discuss the details and it was a seamless process with excellent communication. They cared for our house and pets, as if they were their own. We returned to happy animals and an immaculate house with gifts for us all. We appreciated everything and can highly recommend them for a stress free and excellent experience, on any house sit. Thank you for going above and beyond. We hope to be ...

C&A were easy to talk to & they took good care of our animals. We came home to clean home, happy pets and lovely note.

We couldn’t be happier about the care of our home and our two cats Lilly and Tui in our absence. Communication was fantastic before and during their stay with regular updates and photos of our pets. Our semi rural location is 15 minutes from Waiuku and the nearest shopping but they were still happy to assist us.
We highly recommend them and hope they will be available to assist us should we need it in the future.
ROBYN (Waiuku North Island, Jul 2024 - 1 week)
Caroline and Andrew did a wonderful job of looking after our home and more importantly our two golden retrievers. The house was immaculate and the dogs were very happy. Great communication throughout the sit. Would highly recommend and would definitely rebook.
ELIZABETH (Riverhead North Island, Jun 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
Caroline and Andrew were fantastic. So easy to communicate with, sent us photos of our cat all weekend and even weeded some of the garden! Would highly recommend.
MARK (Pukekohe North Island, May 2024 - 4 nights)
Caroline and Andrew did a fantastic job of looking after our fur babies and our home. Communication from Day 1 was superb and continued to be so throughout the 4 week sit. They had 3 unexpected issues to deal with, including a sick dog, which they dealt with perfectly. We came home to a perfectly clean and tidy home and happy dogs. I would have them back in a heartbeat.

Hi Caroline and David were a breath of fresh air,. Lovely, natural people who enjoy what they are doing. Rusty was so happy with them. He got his short walk and stick throwing on the beach. the house was left perfect and clean. They even did unasked for gardening. What treasures!
thanks guys

MANDY (Waikawa South Island, Mar 2024 - 2 nights)
It has been an absolute pleasure having Caroline and Andrew at our place. My plants, both indoors and outdoors, were all alive and thriving. The house and car were spotless and our troubled dog was very relaxed and happy. On top of that they were great company for the couple of nights were spent together.
They are the gold standard of house and pet sitters.
ANNA (Hoddy Road/Redwood Valley South Island, Feb 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
Wow! Caroline and Andrew were amazing and did an absolutely fantastic job of house-sitting Moosie and looking after the house and the plants. In fact, they looked after our plants about 1000 times better than I do! 😍They were excellent at keeping in touch with messages waiting for us when we returned to cell phone coverage. They left the house very clean and tidy and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others or to have them back again for ourselves! Thank you so much :)
CARMEN (Murrays Bay North Island, Jan 2024 - 1 week 6 nights)
We were away for 6 weeks, Caroline and Andrew looked after our property , garden and cat so so so well. The indoor plants actually look way better when we are back. You can tell they care and put their heart into our home . Communication is perfect ! Always update and answer whenever you message. We are lucky to find them to look after our house . Reliable and trustworthy! Highly recommend them 🙏🏻
AMY (Whangarei North Island, Dec 2023 - 4 weeks)
Caroline and Andrew were great housesitters. Our elderly cat loved their company and the house and garden were clean and tidy in our return. Very happy, would not hesitate to recommend. Good communication all the way.
LINDA (Clyde South Island, Oct 2023 - 3 weeks)
Caroline & Andrew took amazing care of Pirate during the 6 weeks that we were away and he had a blast. Communication with them was outstanding throughout. Unfortunately, due to an emergency, Caroline had to manage on her own for nearly half of the stay, which was far from ideal as we have a big property and garden. Her resilience and solution mindedness were admirable and we are very grateful for her commitment.

KARIN & ACHIM (Tasman South Island, Aug 2023 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Caroline and Andrew were lovely people and wonderful cat/house-sitters. They went out of their way to charm our precious feline and had him relaxed and happy in no time at all. Photos and messages regarding our cat's progress in relating to his new house mates put our minds at rest and enabled us to enjoy our holiday without worry. They left our house very clean and tidy. I would have them re-sit for us at any time. Thankyou Caroline and Andrew.

Caroline and Andrew were extremely easy to work with. Their caring and gentle approach with our pets was genuinely appreciated. There were many times that we were out of range and off grid. It was wonderful having photos and messages pop up as we would come back online. I was very appreciative of the house being spotless on our return and the garden thriving in the middle of winter. I cannot thank them enough for the easy transition when leaving for holidays and arriving home. We would have ... MORECaroline and Andrew were extremely easy to work with.

Caroline & Andrew, looked after our house for one month. During this time they enthusiastically cared for the garden, pool and upkeep of the house. They made regular communication with us before and during the house sit giving us a lot of confidence in their ability that we were able to enjoy our holiday worry free.

Caroline and Andrew were fantastic with looking after our little dog Loki and our home. So happy we chose them, a big load off our mind to have them in our home with Loki for the 18 days. Great communication from them, from the time we advertised right up to the house sitting and through the subsequent change over to our friend taking over the sit. Left everything clean and tidy Regular updates and photos of Loki clearly very happy with her sitters, wrapping them around her paws. Lots of walks ...

JEN AND STEVE (Hokowhitu North Island, Apr 2023 - 2 weeks 6 days)
Caroline and Andrew were ideal sitters for us, friendly, nice people and excellent communicators. They cared for our neurotic, quirky, shy, little dog and kept us in touch to show that she was happy. They left our house immaculate and we would be more than happy to have them sit again.
JOE (Ohope North Island, Apr 2023 - 1 week 4 days)
Caroline & Andrew took wonderful care of of Jedi while we were away - apologies for erratic communication as we were in & out of wifi while overseas. It's lovely to get home and have a well looked after pet & house, as well as receiving regular updates.
OLYA (Waipahihi North Island, Apr 2023 - 1 week 1 day)
Caroline and Andrew were great Housesitters for our fur-baby, they provided regular updates and photos to put us at ease as was the first time we had left him with people he didn't know. Our house was all neat and tidy on our return.
YVETTE (Whitianga North Island, Mar 2023 - 1 week 1 day)
Thank you again Caroline and Andrew for housesitting for us while we went on holiday. Our two dogs were happy and well cared for. We really appreciated the photos received from time to time just to reassure us all was well. I also appreciate learning the benefits of Whatsap which worked well for us all. Best wishes to you both.
JAN (Lower Hutt North Island, Mar 2023 - 1 week 5 days)
We had to cancel our original three week house sit due to ferry cancellations. Andrew and Caroline were very understanding and still showed interest in sitting after we were able to make alternative arrangements, eventually sitting for us from 15 - 22 Feb. It was lovely to meet them, they are very friendly and communicative. They did a great job of looking after our two cats and house. We thoroughly recommend them.
GARY AND MAUREEN (Waikanae North Island, Jan 2023 - 1 week)
Caroline and Andrew were a pleasure to deal with. From the moment they accepted the sit the communication was great. When we were away they kept regular communication and photos on WhatsApp. We have a wide range of domestic pets and all were very well looked after. We were very happy in the knowledge our home and animals were cared for whilst away. I would highly recommend Caroline and Andrew to anyone looking for a housesitter...we hope to have them again one day!
MICHAEL (Havelock North North Island, Jan 2023 - 2 weeks 1 day)

Caroline & Andrew communicated any issues clearly and promptly and we were able to sort things out quickly, without any hassel. They sent us photos regularly to update us on our dog...(being treated like royalty) and on events happening at home. On our return, the house was beautifully clean and tidy and the animals well looked after. We would love for Caroline & Andrew to return again in the future to house sit for us anytime.
TONIA (Cambridge North Island, Dec 2022 - 4 weeks)
It was very reassuring to know that Caroline and Andrew were looking after our animals and house while we were away overseas. Rosie, our cat was very spoilt and the garden and greenhouse were well looked after with many veggies ready for our return and fresh flowers on the table. They even picked us up from the airport. We would love them to housesit for us again some time.
KAREN (RD1 North Island, Nov 2022 - 1 week 5 days)

Caroline & Andrew were just amazing, we were so lucky to have them sit for us. Three dogs of very different ages could be a challenge but they were so attune to their needs & send reassuring messages & pictures of them enjoying time together. The house was left immaculate. We cannot recommend them more highly and hope to have them back soon.

Well Andrew and Caroline are absolutely wonderful. We immediately liked them both and very much enjoyed spending an evening with them before leaving early the next morning.
We felt our animals and home were in safe hands. It was extremely hot while we were away and Andrew very kindly went above and beyond to keep our large garden well watered. We had regular updates about our pets and they clearly thrived under their care.

You couldn't ask for better sitters than Caroline and Andrew........the animals were clearly very well loved and cared for, the house was clean and tidy on our return and they has also kept the garden tidied and watered.

Upon our return, the house was in very tidy order which is great when returning from a long journey from Yorkshire. Caroline kept us updated of how the sit was going and sent through pictures of Milo and Lufee which was lovely to see. Communication both before and during the sit was great.
Thank you for looking after Milo and Luffee
