Tania was very easy going & a pleasure to meet and introduce to our pets. Tania looked after our lifestyle block including x 2 dogs, a cat, chickens and alpacas and went above and beyond maintaining yard work over approx 7 weeks. Dogs appeared happy and relaxed upon return home with no concerns. Made for a stress free holiday knowing everything was in trustworthy hands.
Tania is a very friendly, easy-going person and communication with her was excellent. She did a great job of looking after my cat and budgies while I was away.
We just love Tania. There is nothing nicer than coming home to find everything spotless and cared for and our Sophie doggie is happy and loved.
Tania did an excellent job of looking after our house and cat. The house was spotless and the cat was in great condition upon our return. My cat was happy and relaxed when I got home. Tania’s communication and punctuality were excellent as well. I highly recommend her!
Tania was amazing. when we returned home the house looked amazing. Tania had done all the washing, put the bins out, watered the veges, walked the dog and communicated with us along the way. We would not hesitate in asking Tania to look after our house and dog and highly recommend her to anyone going away short or long term. Once again Tania, thank you for all you did. Don
Tania took good care of our dog BoBeau and our home. Pooch seemed content when we came home. I would recommend Tania for any future house sit, she has a pleasant disposition and respects home and pet.
Kind and caring. Frequently posted pictures of the two dogs for us. Tania did everything we asked of her and she also left the house in excellent condition. Our boys clearly felt comfortable with her care. We would have her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Tania.
Tania has been a great housesitter. We have used her services twice now. We always come home to a clean house and the dog run is clean. The dogs are walked regularly and the cat is happy. So nice to be on the other side of the world and knowing your house and animals are all being so well looked after.
Thank you Tania for looking after my 2. Esp Maddie who can be full on. I highly recommend Tania, she was easy going, flexible and so nice. The house was left clean and tidy. Tania we hope you will come back and sit for us. πŸ˜ƒ
Tania is highly recommended. She took good care of our dog and 2 cats . The house was as we left it clean and tidy on our arrival home . Thank you Tania great communication and 100 % reliable .😊😊😊
Tania was great, communication was brilliant, i felt so content while on holiday knowing the pets were well looked after with regular updates, house was clean and nothing out of place. Was lovely to come home to at 3am after a lot of delayed flights. I would recommend Tania to everyone, and will be definitely using in the future.
Tania has been a wonderful house sitter. She was very proactive, excellent communication, sent pictures of the dogs regularly, taking dogs for walks, looking after my indoor plants and also my fished. She left the house spotless, Teddy and Missy definitely enjoyed her time. Would definitely recommend and I would definitely have Tania back to house sit again. Thanks a million Tania.
Tania came out to meet us and all our creatures a couple of weeks before the sit. She was lovely, bonding with the animals straight away. She confirmed quickly that she was keen to look after our place. Tanya came out the night before to follow the routine for looking after the animals and the many houseplants and garden.

MoreTania came out to meet us and all our creatures a couple of weeks before the sit. She was lovely, bonding with the animals straight away. She confirmed quickly that she was keen to look after our place. Tanya came out the night before to follow the routine for looking after the animals and the many houseplants and garden. Tanya even happily took on 3 recently arrived orphan ducklings that were extra, and they have thrived. While we were away Tania kept us regularity updated on each of the animals and we felt that they, and our home, were in safe hands. We were right. We arrived home to happy well cared for animals and plants, sheets changed and bed made up. We would happily recommend Tania and would have her back again.
