Kathryn has been a wonderful, caring house-sitter, not being put off by my uncommunicative cat, and keeping me informed at all times. Highly recommended.
 
FRANCES (Lyttelton South Island, Dec 2024 - 3 nights)
We were extremely pleased with Kathryn as a house sitter and pet carer. She was so good with our 2 cats. Whilst were away one of the cats had a problem that needed vet care. Kathryn took care of the visits needed and kept us fully informed on progress and treatment. She was very attentive. We would highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter and/or pet carer
 
STEVE (Prebbleton South Island, Aug 2024 - 4 weeks)
Kathryn was fantastic - we were away over six weeks and she kept us up to date with pics and info on how our fur baby was doing. She has a great connection with our cat and looked after our home really well. Would recommend, thank you Kathryn!
 
PENELOPE (Halswell South Island, Jul 2024 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Kathryn was a fabulous house sitter and pet companion. Her communication was swift, frequent and responsive to our needs. Kathryn looked after our home and went above and beyond for anything that was needed. Her thoughtfulness and foresight was much appreciated. I would definitely use Kathryn again in the future.
 
MEGAN (Woodend South Island, Dec 2023 - 4 weeks)
Kathryn was one of the best house sitters we have engaged. She was flexible from the outset, open and transparent when communicating, and never failed to ask questions if she was unsure. We have two indoor only cats that are our priority. Finding the right person for them was a priority for us. Kathryn quickly bonded with both cats, and they have clearly had a relaxing time in her care. They were happy and healthy when we returned. Kathryn cared for our indoor plants and outdoor garden. ...

FLYNN (Ilam South Island, Nov 2023 - 3 weeks)
We would highly reccommend Kathryn as a sitter. She sat for us for a bit over 5 weeks and we couldnt have wished for a better experience for our first time using this service. On our return the house was spotless, Kathryn had stocked up on some essentials for us and made some pumpkin soup. She even left a flowering pot plant for us.
 
PATRICK (Kaiapoi South Island, Sep 2023 - 4/9/23 to 12/10/23)
Kathryn looked after our house and two skittish cats for 5 months while we were overseas. Kathryn was most conscientious taking care of our partially renovated cottage, with all the issues that arose during a very wet and windy winter. My cats warmed up to her in no time, and she cared for one cat that got injured in our absence (including taking it to the vet twice). She took special care of all our plants and even got my orchid to flower again! When we came home, we found that she had ... MORE

Safe house!

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