favoriteWhy we love house sitting

As we agreed to keep it with one dog Inge needs her fix with more (she can’t walk past a dog without saying hello), hence looking after especially dogs is why we house sit. And as we travel throughout the country it is a great way to explore each area a bit more.

Hi there, we live in a motorhome and travel around NZ since we sold our house late 2020. Inge has always wanted a dog and since we moved to NZ we've had 2 rescue dogs (Huntaway X) that are no longer with us. Pip however, a sweet wee Foxy X who is gentle, well behaved and good with dogs, cats, chooks, rabbits (in enclosed area), birds, sheep, ducks & alpacas travels with us. She even has her own FB page: Pip's Road Life.

What absolutely wonderful sitters! Thank you so much to Inge and Marc for looking after our puppy so beautifully. She loved the long walks on the beach and playing with Pip and was so happy with you all. Having Pip (their dog) there actually really helped our dog not miss us too much and settle well. The house was left immaculate, they even left us freshly baked bread on arrival! Communication was fantastic - lovely photos and videos sent so we didn't miss our wee girl too much. Thanks again ...

Inge and Marc were spectacular pet and housesitters from our first meet and greet through to the end. They and their lovely dog, Pip, immediately made us feel that our dog and house were in good hands. The daily updates and videos were great. When a sudden lameness occurred with our dog, they were extremely responsible about seeking veterinary care and keeping us informed. We returned to a healthy dog and beautifully clean house.

Inge and Marc did a first class job looking after all the animals. The dogs appear to have had a wonderful time playing with Pip and going on adventures. Communication was excellent with photos and videos, thoroughly recommend them.
Inge and Marc were very conscientious. We didn’t have to worry about anything as they kept us up to date. They lavished our dog Spanner with a huge amount of attention - he lapped it up and no doubt misses them and their lovely dog Pip! They were a pleasure to deal with and we highly recommend them to anyone who needs their house and pets looked after!
Great sitters who were very communicative, and did a great job of looking after our pets. Would recommend!
Inge & Marc were incredible sitters. The house and gardens were in better condition than we left - thanks so much and highly recommend to anyone. Friendly and great people!
It was a pleasure to have Inge and Marc (and their dog Pip) dog sit for us. They were friendly and helpful, with great communication throughout (plus regular photo/video updates). We did an initial video call to say hi, then they came for a courtesy visit beforehand so the dogs could get acquainted. They took good care of the house, watered plants, fed fish and looked after our elderly Labrador. They followed instructions well and gave only short walks as we’d requested, and took care of his ...

They took good care of the house, watered plants, fed fish and looked after our elderly Labrador. They followed instructions well and gave only short walks as we’d requested, and took care of his medication daily. They offered to take us to/from the airport which was very much appreciated and even left us some little gifts when we returned. Would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for reliable sitters.

This is the second time we've had Inge and Mark house sitting, we were delighted to welcome them back this year after their previous sit at the house. They took great care of our home, garden and pets, highly recommend.
Amazing house/dog sitters. They came to see me and the dogs before the start date to talk and meet and greet. So kind and caring to my home and animals with photos and updates. 10/10 I couldnt have asked for a tidier house and Inge had kindly gardened for me . i am sure they cleaned a carpet too and the vacuming was so good it cant have been done by my vacum. Kippa my older dog needed to loss a little weight and this has been done. So awesome to come home and just fall back into my old ... MoreAmazing house/dog sitters.

So where do I start…We were very fortunate to have Marc & Inge come and House/Pet sit our treasured dog ‘Ollie’ for 3 months while we were overseas. We had regular updates from them of ‘Ollie’s’ outings with photos & videos of ‘Ollie’ & his new doggy friends including ‘Pip’. We came home to a home-cooked meal for our family, flowers & chocolates & a welcome home card. We returned to find the house ‘sparkling clean’ and tidy, lawns mown, windows clean outside. They even asked permission to ... MoreSo where do I start…We were very fortunate to have Marc & Inge come and House/Pet sit our treasured dog ‘Ollie’ for 3 months while we were overseas.

They even asked permission to sand down & repaint a window frame in our absence… wow - and what a fine job they did!. We were thrilled. If you are ever looking for an amazing couple to house/pet sit, look no further, these guys are totally amazing. Marc & Inge. THANK YOU! Now go and enjoy some time touring in your ‘Motorhome’.

I was a first timer to the whole house sitting experience, so wasn't sure quite how things worked. We struck it lucky with Inge and Marc and their lovely dog Pip. I can't begin to express my gratitude to Inge and Marc for all that they did for us. They were absolutely outstanding. They provided exceptional care for our home and pets. Thanks to Inge and Marc, our dogs are better behaved than when we left. And our house is cleaner than when we left. We had a wonderful holiday, in the knowledge ...

Inge and Marc are the "dream-team" when it comes to dog care and house-sitting. Their Pip was a wonderful friend and companion to our Zara and the daily photos and videos kept us in touch with all that was going on. They are fully focussed on the dog's needs and plan their day around dog-friendly walks and outings. Also took meticulous care of our home, mowed the lawn, improved our dog yard security, and had dinner ready for us on our return. We can recommend them whole-heartedly.
Inge and Marc are amazing. They looked after our pers and house while we were away holiday last week. Lots of photos and great communication . Highly recommended!
Inge & Marc were great housesitters ... My three dogs & one cat were very well cared for. The dogs were walked daily & Inge sent photo's of their adventures. Their own dog Pip is a lovely girl and got on well with my three. I came home from my holiday to a lovely clean & tidy house and more importantly happy pets! I am happy to recommend Inge & Marc to anyone A+

Inge and Marc were great sitters, felt completely comfortable leaving our house and pets in their hands. Would recommend them to anyone.
Fabulous house sitters who took such amazing care of our pets . We were updated almost daily with our Pugs adventures on his walks to beaches and dog parks which totally put us at ease that he was being very well loved and taken care of. They have a lovely little dog Pip who got along swimmingly with our pooch too. Our house was very tidy when we got home and our lawns mowed, what a treat.
