Megan and Damon were fantastic and very experienced house sitters. Communication was excellent both before and during the housesit. We were very reassured that our dog was being well looked after. They looked after our house extremely well and the garden was looked after better than it usually is by us. We came home after two weeks away to a sparkling clean house, flourishing garden and happy dog. Couldn’t ask for more than that! Thanks again.
Thanks for your kind words Wendy! Much appreciated. Hope you are enjoying the cooler temps back home.

This was the second time we used Megan & Damon, and again it was easy communication and my dog Max was looked after perfectly. Would definetly use them agian. Thanks.
We were so grateful to have Megan and Damon care for our house and our puppy while we were away. They communicated clearly, went the extra mile for Wilfy and left the house immaculate. Would highly recommend them as house sitters and would be happy to have them again.
Thanks Michelle for your kind words. We'd be happy to sit again if the chance comes up. :-)
Megan and Damon are excellent sitters. We were incredibly lucky to find them at such short notice. They were professional and efficient from start to finish; communication to pet care to preparing the house for us to come home. Very highly recommended 🤩
We required a pet sitter at short notice and were lucky to get Megan and Damon. We came home to happy pets and a very clean and tidy house. Great communication too. Thanks so much Megan and Damon!
Thanks so much for having us Jackie and your kind words!

Megan & Damon were amazing house and pet sitters. They communicated quickly and I came home to a lovely clean house and a very happy dog. I would highly recommend the two of them. Thanks again Megan & Damon.
We signed up quite last minute due to some health issues with one of our cats, and wanting them to be in safe hands. Megan was great at walking me through the process and I felt really comfortable with Megan and Damon looking after our home and cats. While we were away, it was great to get updates over WhatsApp about how everything was going at home, and our home was left in spotless condition. I wouldn't hesitate to ask them to house/petsit for us again.
Thanks for your kind words Joanne. Hope Maisie keeps getting better.
Megan and Damon did an excellent job caring for our dog Poppy and our house. Exactly the right amount of communication too. Thanks!
Megan and Damon were amazing, such good communication! Dusty was very happy and comfortable with them and they kept me updated with their days House was immaculate when we arrived home, like no one had been here. Thank you both for loving on Dusty and for treating our home like your own we would love to welcome you back again!
We had Megan and Damon do a house sit for a couple of nights, there communication was excellent, initially and throughout the stay, This gave us total confidence that our dogs were going to be in great hands. They totally respected our house, which they left it in perfect condition on their departure, they even stripped the bed and washed the sheets etc. I would have no hesitation in recommending Megan and Damon to any one who wants great pet and house sitters. regards Dave and Anne

Once again Megan and Damon were awesome. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless house. This is the second time they have sat for us. They were easy to get hold of and put our mind at ease. Thanks again.
Megan and Damon are the best. Communication is amazing, care of house is amazing, and we come back to pets that are well looked after and well exercised. Additionally both times we have had these guys sit for us it has been at extremely short notice. We highly recommend them to everyone.
Megan and Damon left our house looking amazing. They took great care of our dog and they were easy and quick to communicate with. Highly recommend!
Thanks Steve! Appreciate your kind words.
Megan and Damon housesat for us for 3 weeks over New Year period 25/26. Despite the sit being arranged at relatively short notice such that we were unable to meet in person prior, their quality of communication gave us much confidence that we were leaving our home, 2 cats and dog in great hands. During the sit they kept us in the loop with many photos of very happy and content pets and even offered to clear the neighbours overflowing mailbox! On return our home was immaculate and pets clearly ... MoreMegan and Damon housesat for us for 3 weeks over New Year period 25/26.

Thank you again Megan and Damon :)

Thanks for the nice review Tom! Much appreciated.
Megan and Damon were great. The house was clean and tidy on my return. Frida was happy and well cared for. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Both our pets were happy when we got home and the house was so tidy. Communication was excellent with updates. Thanks for looking after our fur babies
We did not get to meet Megan and Damon but they had great communication through the whole process. We came home to happy animals and a lovely tidy home. Would have them back anytime. Thank you
We had a fantastic experience with Megan and Damon who stayed for 4 days and looked after our cat, Harry. They were reliable, respectful, and left everything in perfect order. Harry was clearly well cared for, and we had no worries at all. Highly recommended!
Megan and Damon took great care of our home and pets, sent regular updates and left the house spotless - what more could we ask for!?

Thanks Megan and Damon for another excellent house sit. Once again, you took the best care of our cat and dog, and left the house spotless. Also thanks so much for being so flexible on short notice. We'd have you again in a heartbeat. 10/10!
Thanks for your kind words Megan! Appreciate it very much. We'd love to come back if the timing works ,will keep in touch.

Always easy to deal with. house treated with care and Mylo was well looked after. THANK YOU
Megan and Damon were fantastic house and pet sitters, with regular updates on the dogs and house, we felt very at ease on our trip away. We came home to two very happy dogs and spotless house. Thank you very much Megan and Damon for looking after our dogs and house so well.
Thanks for your kind words Alistair, we really appreciate it.
Unfortunately Megan and Damon had to leave early which left us in a bit of a dilemma. The house was left fine.
We had to leave early due to an unexpected family situation which suddenly cropped up during the sit with a close relative being very unwell out of Auckland. As much notice as possible was given to Gesa (two days) that other arrangements would need to be made for Elle's care. We took special care ... MoreWe had to leave early due to an unexpected family situation which suddenly cropped up during the sit with a close relative being very unwell out of Auckland. As much notice as possible was given to Gesa (two days) that other arrangements would need to be made for Elle's care. We took special care to ensure the house was spotless and left securely until their return. We take our commitment as housesitters very seriously. Our many positive reviews show our proven track record as responsible, reliable sitters.

Excellent house and pet sitters! Megan and Damon took care of our dog and home with great care. We had great communication before and during their stay. They left the house immaculate and our dog was happy. I would highly recommend and would happily have the sit for us again.
Megan and Damon did an amazing job and left the house lovely and tidy for when I got home
We came home to a very clean home and happy pets! Thanks Megan & Damon for looking after our babies whilst we were away! Highly recommend!
Lovely experience with Megan and Damon, they took great care of the home and our cat. Good communicators, a pleasure
Very happy with everything. Proactive and great communication. Thanks for the short notice help. Will use them again!
100% recommend. Super easy sit for us with communication and house sparkling (cleaner than when we left!) and happy dogs!
Absolutely awesome. Megan and Damon were our first ever pet sitters and it was such a great experience. Excellent communication. I really felt we left our pets in care of people who were caring and respectful. 10/5 stars!

Megan and Damon were fabulous sitters for our dog, cat and house. They left the place so clean and tidy, going beyond to really impress. I look forward to the next visit from them. Thank you again for such great care of everything!
Megan and Damon took excellent care of our 2 big dogs (not an easy task!). They were walked and looked after so that we did not worry about them at all. They also left our house spic and span. It was fantastic to receive updates and photos from them while we were away. Would definitely recommend to others and will use again if we can.
Megan and Damon were amazing looking after our home and dog and kept us up to date regularly on how things were going. Highly recommended and would have Megan and Damon housesit/dogsit for us again!
Megan and Damon were great house sitters, Looked after our motley mix of two cats and two needy dogs, They left the house clean and were easy to communicate with. Would absolutely use them and again on our next house sit and would happily recommend them to others.
Megan & Damon were wonderful house sitters. They helped us out the day we were leaving when an unexpected medical event occurred. Our puppy Mabel loved having such a kind & caring couple look after her. We would love for you to house / Mabel sit for us again.
Lovely people and great communication. Megan and Damon took care of Bertie really well and left the house in great condition with sheets cleaned. Welcome again any time.
Megan was a great communicator and I returned home to a happy dog and a clean and tidy house. They had even washed the sheets. Would 100% use again - highly recommended.
Megan and Damon are fantastic housesitters - we can't recommend them enough! (this is the second time they have housesat for us) Good communication before and throughout, and very kind and helpful extras like washing their bedding, and staying late on the last day to look after our puppy, so she wouldn't have too long on her own before we got home. Thank you to you both!
Megan and Damon were fabulous sitters. They kept us updated with how things were going with our doggies and we came home to a lovely tidy house. We would happily have Megan and Damon sit for us again 😊
Great communication. Dogs were happy and relaxed and house was nice and tidy
Megan and Damon were our very first house sitters. We arrived home to a clean home, bedding washed and dogs happy. Would recommend
Excellent housesitter’s… reliable and very tidy people… we thoroughly recommend them them 👍👍
Thanks so much for the nice review Michelle, sorry I missed the deadline to post one. This was an excellent housesit, great pets and great communication from Michelle and help with returning something with left behind! Highly recommended!

Megan and Damon left our house in a great way; it was nice to come home to a tidy and clean place. They also did a great job at watering our freshly sown lawn seed daily to keep it growing which we were grateful for. Good communication throughout our trip.
Thanks for your nice review Cassie
Megan & Damon were a pleasure to have stay at our home. They took beautiful care of our animals and left the house sparkling clean. Excellent communication, we’d highly recommend and would love to have them stay again.
Megan was so easy to work with and we felt completely at ease being away from home.
I would recommend Megan. Good communication, quick to respond, and our cat and garden were well cared for. Thank you Megan and Damon!
I am so great full to Megan for her short notice sit. I didn’t meet Megan in person but spoke to her via video call. Our home was left as we left it and Lockie was very relaxed on our return so obviously not worried that we weren’t there. Thanks Megan
Megan and her partner were so good to our dog and our cat (who had been missing and came home shortly before Megan sat for us). Kush was walked, fed and cared for beautifully. Many thanks
Thanks for the nice review Louise, much appreciated.
Megan responded at very short notice (the day before) to get me out of a jam when the sitter I had arranged could no longer do the sit. I would usually meet sitters first but I was comfortable that Boh would be in very good hands. It was only for a couple of days, but Megan & Damon did a thorough clean anyway and left the house looking amazing! Boh was happy, getting in lots of cuddles and tail wagging.
This was our first time using a house sitter and we were very happy with our experience. Megan was easy to communicate with and felt comfortable leaving our house and dog in her care. We came home to a clean house and a very happy dog! Would definitely recommend Megan and her partner.
Thanks for your kind review Katie and having us in your home.
Megan and Damon were A+ house sitters. The pets were sleepy and happy a good sign. The house was clean and great to come home to. Great communication, an easy fit. Would love to have stay again
Megan and husband were fabulous. This was our first time doing house sitting and they were great with our dog and our house. Thanks so much Megan. Hope to have you back another time.
Thanks for the kind review Tania.
Megan and Damon looked after my little place at short notice while we took a weekend break. They were absolutely wonderful - communicative, reliable, and they left everything super-tidy. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Highly recommend Megan and Duncan. The house sit was short notice. Good communication, which was gratefully received as dogs not fully well. Returned to 2 happy dogs and a spotless house.
Megan was awesome to deal with and I felt very comfortable leaving her in charge of my dogs and house. Everything was left very tidy and the dogs were relaxed and happy when we got back. Would definitely recommend.
So impressed with Megan and partner. This was the first time I used this service and I was a little bit apprehensive, not knowing what to expect. But the first conversation with Megan put me at ease. She had great communication. There were multiple texts before the sit and during, keeping us updated about our cat. The house was left spotless and the washing was all cleaned, out on the line. Daisy (my cat) looked happy and well fed! I'd recommend their services to anyone and will use again if ... MoreSo impressed with Megan and partner.

Megan and Damon communicated well, knew just what questions to ask and we arrived home to a very happy and relaxed dog. Walks and games, and a photo of him settled in was appreciated. Our home was clean and sparkly with cookies awaitingbour arrival. Sheets washed and put back on the bed, so very grateful! Thank you both so very much!!
Megan and Damon were just the best. Megan's communication and expertise were top notch. I could tell just in our conversation on the phone she was experienced as she knew what to ask and I really appreciated knowing all was good when we left. Kept us informed and we were really lucky to have such wonderful house sitters while we were away. Thank you so much. Very happy cats on our return.
Megan and Damon were fantastic house sitters. They kept in contact letting us know how things were going. The house was clean and tidy when we got home. Thanks so much, highly recommend
Megan and Damon really stepped up at short notice and we were over the moon that the animals and house were so well looked after. Great communication as well. Would highly recommend them.
We had a very disappointing experience with Megan and Damon. Initial communication was good and we arranged for Megan and Damon to house sit. However at 10pm on what was meant to be the first day of the house sit, Megan messaged that they would no longer be able to do it due to a personal situation. Then she didn't reply to messages or a request to talk so we didn't know what was happening at home or with our pets. Our 2 cats were outside and missed 2 meals before we could get someone else ...

We initially made plans to suit Melissa and accommodate the animals as the family departed on 5th of January instead of the advertised date of 6th. This was so the dog especially would not be left outside overnight which Melissa had been considering if we didn't arrive until 6th. Melissa advised a few hours before the sit was due to start that her father was taking the dog. No consideration was given of our efforts to be accommodating and what had been agreed. Unfortunately despite our best intentions we couldn't complete the sit after an urgent unexpected family situation arose. Megan communicated with Melissa as best she could that others would need to take over. We are kind, caring, reliable sitters as the many other reviews bear witness to

Megan was great to deal with and stepped in at late notice without problem. Would definitely recommend.
Megan & Damon were great house & cat sitters, making our first experience using Kiwi Housesitters a really easy and positive one. I was amazed that even deciding last minute to give it a go (weds night before Friday departure) we were contacted by four keen house sitters! What an excellent system, working well for both parties.

Megan and Damon took awesome care of our home and 18mth old Retradoodle... One well walked and very happy doggie on return! Great Comms and just an all-round great experience! Would have them back in a heartbeat!
I would happily recommend Megan and Damon and would be keen to have them sit for us again. They were able to help us out with a very last minute house sit, communication was excellent before they came and while we were away and we came home to a lovely clean tidy house and 2 happy dogs. Thank you, Megan and Damon!
Brilliant sitters. Astute with great communication. Thanks so much for looking after the house and pets.
Megan and Damon were great house sitters. The house was left very tidy and Freya (our Labrador) seemed totally unphased by our absence so they must have taken good care of her. Communication was good and they sent helpful updates while we were away. I'd certainly have them house sit again.
Really pleased, these folks are just terrific, most certainly should we be away again we would hope that Damon and Megan were available. my only grouse is that all the times we try to keep our white groodle clean, without any luck. Megan has the magic touch and we returned home to a very clean white dog, how on earth, only kidding of course about a grouse we were just surprised. Thanks to both of you. Stan
Highly recommend Megan as a sitter. The house was left clean and tidy and animals happy. Great communication too. Thank you.
Meagan was a fantastic house sitter. Great communication and good with animals. We came home to a cleaner house than when we left and a happy dog. Felt like our home and pets were in capable hands. I would recommend!
Wow! What can we say about Megan and Damon!! Absolutely amazing and extremely thorough doesn't even scratch the surface. As animal lovers ( we live on a lifestyle block) it is always a risk and a worry when you leave not only your house, but also your animals in the care of a relative stranger. However, Megan was unbelievable and it quickly became apparent that she too had an animal caring nature as well. Our chickens have never been so well fed and looked after and it was so pleasing to come ... MoreWow! What can we say about Megan and Damon!! Absolutely amazing and extremely thorough doesn't even scratch the surface. As animal lovers ( we live on a lifestyle block) it is always a risk and a worry when you leave not only your house, but also your animals in the care of a relative stranger. However, Megan was unbelievable and it quickly became apparent that she too had an animal caring nature as well. Our chickens have never been so well fed and looked after and it was so pleasing to come home after a holiday to find out that none of them had escaped. Our 2 beautiful black labs ( Lily and Bolt) had a great time and were well cared for in our absence. Megan even sent us a photo of them both asleep in the middle of the floor after a busy day. My wife Julie has spent an enormous amount of time and energy on constructing a garden - a garden that needs constant watering. After a few teething issues and some excellent communication on Megan's part, we came home to an extremely lush garden. Our house was pristine on our arrival home - the vacumming had been done and the rest of the house was extremely clean and tidy. We would have no hesitation in getting Megan and Damon to house sit again, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are extremely trustworthy and very easy to communicate with. Thank you sincerely Megan and Damon for enabling our family to enjoy a worry-free holiday - you are both awesome!!

Megan and Damon were great house sitters who I'd gladly have back again. They were great with pre-sit communication and able to come and visit to go over the details. They kept us updated through the week and left the house in great condition. The animals were loved and looked after really well. Thank you guys, we really appreciated you being such great sitters.

Safe house!

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