Gerry and Denise were absolutely god-sent. We couldn't have found better people to entrust our 2 year labradoodle, home and plants for 7 long weeks. Gerry even came a day earlier to ensure he had a full brief and was prepared for the long house and dog sitting. They were very responsive and attentive to our specific needs and instructions especially for our boy. During the house sit, our house unfortunately encountered various issues that required urgent repairs and they patiently liaised with ... MoreGerry and Denise were absolutely god-sent.

Gerry even came a day earlier to ensure he had a full brief and was prepared for the long house and dog sitting. They were very responsive and attentive to our specific needs and instructions especially for our boy. During the house sit, our house unfortunately encountered various issues that required urgent repairs and they patiently liaised with the relevant parties in order to get it all sorted. Gerry provided timely and delightful updates with photos of our boy throughout their stay. He was super well take care off and was really sad when they left. We would 200% recommend them to anyone and will definitely book them again in the future.

Wow, these guys are amazing. 5 stars on every element. Most importantly our two dogs loved them. Gerry & Denise are very thoughtful, thorough and excellent communicators. They both have a great sense of humour and are a delight. The house was spotless when we got back, they'd organise everything and also dealt with some rabid smoke alarms (in the middle of the night) with good humour and decision making. We would highly recommend them as honest, trustworthy and great with the ... MoreWow, these guys are amazing. 5 stars on every element. Most importantly our two dogs loved them.

Gerry and Denise were absolutely amazing. Kept us up to date throughout and Lucy was well looked after. Was amazjng to come home to a spotless house. Highly recommend them to look after your furbabies
Gerry & Denise are amazing we would highly recommend them highly. The pets have put on weight. The house is much cleaner than we left it and the gardens look stunning. We were away 7 weeks and there was constant communication including "Proof of life photos" cats cuddled up in front of the fire. Thank you Gerry & Denise
Denise and Gerry, are amazing pet/housesitters, they take such great care of our fur babies and the girls miss them when they leave. Our home is always spotless when we arrive home. Thank you again Denise and Gerry .
Gerry and Denise recently house sat for us for 4 weeks and we couldn’t have asked for better care for our home and two large dogs. From the very beginning, they were incredibly communicative, even coming early to go through the house and make sure they understood everything. During their stay, they went above and beyond—taking the dogs on daily walks, watering plants and leaving our house spotless and tidy. They kept in touch regularly and sent photos of the dogs, which gave us complete peace ...

During their stay, they went above and beyond—taking the dogs on daily walks, watering plants and leaving our house spotless and tidy. They kept in touch regularly and sent photos of the dogs, which gave us complete peace of mind. When our flights were unexpectedly delayed, they kindly offered to stay an extra day. Thanks to their thoughtfulness, care, and attention to detail, we were able to completely relax and enjoy our holiday knowing everything was in safe hands. We highly recommend them for your house sit!

Great house sitters. Came home to happy animals and a spotless house. Thank you so much
xMy pets were in good hands with Gerry and Denise. I came home to happy content pets and a clean house. They kept in touch and are easily approachable for any communication. I recommend them for your pet care and house sitting. They brought their adorable little dog who fitted in well with the cats and my dogs.

One of my dogs was nervous meeting them as my packing set off her alarm bells, they made her feel comfortable giving her the time she needs to feel ok again. I recommend filling in the welcome pack for them to make for an easier transition.

It was great to have Gerry and Denise return to house sit for us and look after our 3-year old Cavoodle. It was a very smooth transition and Gerry and Denise were again delightful and very competent. Gerry took our dog for regular walks and sent us update photos. The house was again immaculate on our return. Would have them back anytime.
We cannot say how immensely grateful we are to the amazing Gerry and Denise. We were overseas for an extended period. Their communication from the beginning was excellent. Our home was left immaculate, lawns mowed, garden/plants watered and pool valet. Photo's to confirm. We have a rescue pup who presented challenging behaviours to Gerry and Denise - they helpfully communicated and dealt with her with care. They interacted with our neighbours with courtesy. This was our first time using a ... MoreWe cannot say how immensely grateful we are to the amazing Gerry and Denise. We were overseas for an extended period.

Gerry and Denise were awesome. This was the first time I've used a house sitter and they have set the bar high. Gerry and Denise introduced themselves the day before I was leaving and we had a run through of the animals feeding regime etc. They left early on the day of my returned but I came home to a clean house and happy pets.

Fully recommend Gerry and Denise as house/pet sitters. Having booked a 4 week overseas holiday we decided to engage a house sitter to look after our house and 2 year old Cavoodle. Not having had a house sitter before, we were a little anxious. Gerry and Denise immediately put us at ease. They sent us regular pictures and updates including going out on dog outings so we were able to relax on holiday knowing that all was well at home. There were no problems and we arrived back home to a very ... MoreFully recommend Gerry and Denise as house/pet sitters.

Gerry and Denise are a lovely couple who looked after our house and dog for a week. They left the property in an immaculate condition and kept us updated at all times regarding our dog Addie. We found them to be very flexible and capable. We have no hesitation in highly recommending them as house/pet sitters. They were great.
Gerry & Denise are wonderful dog and house-sitters. They looked after our fur baby coco just as we would. She had lots of walks and cuddles. Gerry & Denise sent us regular photos and updates. The house was just as we left it. Would have then any time to house and dog sit. Thank you, Gerry & Denise. Cheers Angela
The best ever !! Couldn’t fault them even if I tried real hard They even like Tim jones !
Just great The pets had a holiday as good as we did Great communication and flexibility on arrival and leaving based around our travel schedule even with us leaving on New Year’s Day! No pressure at all to sort anything special and only hassle is the animals readjusting to us being at work and school again and not having all the attention they got while we were gone! They clearly loved the company and so good to come back to happy house and animals rather than trying to get back by set ...

Gerry and Denise were great and very genuine. We loved the pics they sent of our happy pets (and their tiny dog which stayed with our consent). Home well cared for too. They even looked out for our 20 sheep and vege garden. No complaints about days of rain in Auckland. Champions. Will gladly have them again as friends next time.
Gerry and Denise were lovely housesitters who we can happily recommend. They left our home super clean and they checked in with us during our holiday to let us know that everything was going smoothly. We appreciate them and would be happy to have them look after our property in the future.
We were lucky to have Gerry and Denise house sit for us. Our house was super clean and cookie our dog was clean and happy. Their wee little dog was very calm and cookie was happy to have a dog friend.They took him for walks to his fav places and shared pictures regularly.We will definitely ask them the next time and highly recommend them to anyone looking for responsible, clean and caring house sitters.
We have just arrived home to a spotlessly clean home after ten days away. Denise and Gerry has done a marvelous job. We had photos and communication every day. They also looked after my daughter's dog for a few days as well, she was just as pleased as we were. Our dog was taken on many fun days out. They also bought their wee dog with them that got on beautifully with ours. We will definitely be asking Denise and Gerry to house and doggy sit next year. Cheers Rosalina and David
Gerry and Denise looked after our two teenage Hunterways for just over 3 weeks. We were worried they would be a handful for them but they took it in the stride and looked after them well. We were reassured frequently with loving photos of them included in their family as we would have wished. Thanks for a great house house sit
Gerry and Denise house sat my two precious Labrador fur babies for 10 days. They sent me regular pictures and updates so I was able to relax knowing that all was well. I arrived back home to two very happy chilled out dogs plus a spotlessly clean house. Their professional loving care and respect is exceptional. Thank you so much guys I hope you are available next time I go on holiday.
Absolutly recomend Gerry and Denise as house/pet sitters. They were fantastic with our 4 dogs and the dogs were responsive with them as was our cat. We left our house tidy but Gerry and Denise had left it even tidier on our return. They had no problems with any of the animals whilst we were away and sent a few updates to us for peace of mind. Would happily have them as sitters again and highly recomend to others.
