We have used the service of house sitters ourselves so we understand what's important and value your furry friends needs, routine and habits. We appreciate that it can be hard to leave your pets at home and therefore will go the extra mile to make sure it is a positive experience.

We have immigrated to NZ over 25 years ago and currently live and own a beautiful new house in Pegasus. We are house proud and can assure you we will treat your home with the same care and respect.

We are both professionals (Ronen is a former Analyst and Michal Administration Officer). We are quiet living people, respectful and non-smoking who love getting away and experience new places in New Zealand.

We have a sweet, well behaved, 7.5 years old Mini Schnauzer called Sophie. She is a great companion and travel with us everywhere. We love her to bits!

We believe that your furry friends will appreciate our company, and as an active people that love the outdoors, we would love to have them joining us on our regular walks/hiking. We are happy to adjust our level of activity to meet your pet's needs. We trust it will be a win-win situation for your furry friends and Sophie to have a play mate/s and another doggie/s companion on our outings.

If you decide to place your furry friend/s and home in our hands we would whole-heartedly take the best possible care of them for you so you are able to fully relax during your time away.

Please see our reviews and let us know if you have any questions about us. We are also happy to have a video call so we can meet and get to know each other.

Thank you for considering us,

Michal and Ronen

Once again Ronen, Michal and little dog Sophie have been the perfect house sitters. We would highly recommend them for their care of Archie and our home. Archie was treated to lots of fun, kindness and personal attention. The house was left spotless and they made special efforts to fit in with our travel plans and make things easy for us. Communication was great and we had lots of lovely pictures of what they were up to. I would highly recommend Michal, Ronen and Sophie and they are welcome at ...

Thank you Ros and Colin for your kind words. Much appreciated!
We couldn't have asked for better house and pet sitters than Ronen, Michal & their lovely dog, Sophie. They were warm, friendly & genuinely caring, treating our 16-year-old Jack Russell/Foxy, Billy, as if he were their own. They walked him every day, took him on wonderful adventures, spent lots of quality time with him, & we came home to a happier, healthier dog. Billy also loved Sophie's gentle company. Communication was fantastic, with regular updates & photos that gave us complete peace of ...

We are so grateful for the love and care they showed Billy & would welcome them back in a heartbeat & hope they'll come and stay with Billy again in the future. Thank you so much - you are genuinely wonderful people!

Thank you Mary and Todd for your kind words. Much appreciated!
Ronen, Michal, and little Sophie came and looked after our two schnauzer girls for the weekend and were the most fabulous sitters. They took our girls on fun outdoor adventures and sent us plenty of updates of the fun they were having. We came home to a beautifully clean house and two very happy tired doggies. Ronen, Michal and Sophie are welcome at our place anytime 🙂
What a magic pair! Ronen is a dog whisperer for sure. The house was immaculate when we returned and the communication was exemplary with daily updates of activities with photos and videos. Sophie (their dog) was so sweet and fitted in beautifully… would highly recommend and will definitely offer other sits again. Thanks guys! I’m so pleased our paths crossed.
Ronen & Michal took great care of Aalo - Spoiling him with lots of walks and playtime and cuddles. They provided regular updates and left our house spotless. We had such peace of mind knowing they were looking after our home and Aalo so well.

Delightful couple with lovely dog. Sent me wonderful snaps of Snow whilst I was away. Highly recommend.
Happiest dog ever! Roman and Michal are fantastic dog sitters. Our Ted had a great time with them and their Sophie. The house was spotless when we returned and Ted was missing them! Would recommend any day and we’d happily have them back.
Wonderful couple who truly loved Matilda as much as we do. Great communication and regular updates and photos of their many excursions.. Our house was left spotlessly clean and Matilda had the best Christmas ever hanging with Ron, Michel and gorgeous Sophie.

Our experience with Ronen and Michal was excellent, and we highly recommend them as house/pet sitters. They took fantastic care of Archie and gave him lots of fun and adventures. They made a special effort to come early to meet us before the house sit. It worked well to have another dog for Archie to buddy with. The house was tidy and very clean on our return. Ronen and Michal kept in regular contact with us and sent through lots of pictures which reassured us that Archie was being well cared ...

This was our first experience of using Kiwi Housesitters and what a delight. Easy to use and a great service. Ronen and Michel were fabulous. They were perfect in every respect. The house was tidier than we left. Cayo our Labrador obviously loved them He was well walked and exercised and the photo of him sleeping on Michal was priceless. We could not have had better carers. Highly commended and we hope they will visit and care for us again. Thank you so much.
After chatting with Ronan & Michal I felt Hank and Milly would be in good hands which meant no separation anxiety (for me - not Hank!). They are a warm and bubbly couple, their dog Sophie is a sweetie - I know Hank would have loved having a doggy buddie for his staycation. Ronan set up a shared Google photo drive and sent lots of awesome photos of them all having fun which was great as I was missing my pets. :-) It was awesome to come home to a spotless house and they even left treats for Hank ...

We would absolutely welcome you to stay again, until then, we hope you have great adventures!

Michal & Ronen are a fantastic couple who looked after my place and animals with love and care. Would definitely have them back again in the future if they are keen to.

Ronen and Michal were awesome. They took great care of my house and my fur baby, Wilbur the dog. He went for masses of walks and run. When I got home after a week away, the house was tidy and clean and the dog was happy. These guys are fantastic and I would not hesitate to recommend them for future house sits!
