Hannah & Gerhard are North Island IT professionals. Gerhard works remotely full-time so your home and pets receive constant, attentive care from a trusted, non-smoking couple. Discreet and reliable.

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We're drawn to sits where genuine care is valued; exceptional homes, well-loved pets, and owners who hold their property to a high standard. We embrace that responsibility fully, treat every home with discretion and respect, and always leave things better than we found them.

We're Hannah and Gerhard, a professional couple who understand that trusting someone with your home is a significant decision. We take that seriously.

Gerhard works remotely full-time, which means your property is never unattended. Your pets maintain their routines, your home stays secure, and nothing is left to chance.

Gerhard works remotely full-time, which means your property is never unattended. Your pets maintain their routines, your home stays secure, and nothing is left to chance. We're present, attentive, and invested in keeping everything running seamlessly while you're away. Not just keeping things ticking over, but actively ensuring everything is as you'd expect to find it.

We're experienced with larger, high-value properties, respecting established household routines and maintaining the standard of your home exactly as you'd expect. If you have a specific schedule to preserve or detailed requirements for your pets, we follow your instructions precisely and slot in without disruption. We adapt to your preferences, not the other way around.

As IT professionals, we're methodical, dependable, and calm under pressure. We're equally comfortable managing a detailed handover document, coordinating with a vet if needed, or handling something unexpected with good judgement and minimal fuss. You won't come home to surprises.

We know that high-value pets, whether that's a pedigree breed, an animal with medical needs, or simply a companion who means the world to you, deserve more than basic supervision. We invest time in understanding your pet's personality, preferences, and routine before you leave, so the transition is smooth and stress-free for them.

Communication is something we treat as a given, not an afterthought. We'll provide updates as often as you'd like, whether that's daily photos or a simple check-in, and will always reach out promptly if anything requires your attention.

We're looking to build long-term relationships with homeowners who value consistency. Knowing your home is with the same trusted people each time you travel is worth something, and we'd love to be that reliable constant for you.

Your home deserves to be in good hands. We'd love to show you we're the right fit.

Gerhard works from home full-time, meaning pets are never left alone for extended periods and their routines are maintained consistently throughout your absence.

We take time before each sit to understand your pet's individual needs, behaviours, and any medical or dietary requirements. We're comfortable administering medication if needed and are calm and considered in unfamiliar situations.

We treat your animals as we would our own; with patience, attention, and genuine care.

Another fantastic house sit with Gerhard and Hannah! This was our third time having Gerhard and Hannah care for our home and pets. Once again they exceeded our expectations. Knowing our house and much-loved pets are in such capable hands allows us to relax completely while we're away. Our dog, Sika, can be quite anxious when we leave, but Gerhard and Hannah are incredibly patient, caring and attentive with her.

Their communication is always excellent, and they treat our home with the utmost respect and care. We couldn't recommend Gerhard and Hannah more highly. They are warm, trustworthy, conscientious and genuinely lovely people. We feel incredibly lucky to have found them.

Hannah and Gerhard were wonderful cat sitters. Their communication was excellent from start to finish, and they even came by beforehand for a meet-and-greet, which gave us great confidence before we left. They took fantastic care of our cat, who was clearly happy and well looked after, and they also left the house clean and tidy.

Thanks again Gerhard and Hannah. Going away is so easy when you are available to pet sit. The whippets look forward to next time.

This is the second time Hannah & Gerhard sitted for us and we couldn’t recommend them more! Communication is excellent, the house was spotless and pets well looked after. Hannah & Gerhard really care for the animals and I really appreciated Hannah getting in touch with me when she was a bit concerned about our dogs behaviour. It really just shows how dedicated and caring they both are. We already booked our next sit with them and feel 100% at ease leaving our fur babies behind now when we go ...

Hannah & Gerhard are our go-to pet sitters & previous reviews show how highly we rate them. As per usual we came back to, two very relaxed whippets and a spotless house.

Gerhard & Hannah were fantastic House sitters. Our dog and cat were both very well looked after. The house was sparkling clean and the promt communication and daily updates made this all such a breeze! Our dog (a young GSP) is very needy and full of energy and Hannah & Gerhard made sure she got all the attention and excercice she needed. It was great knowing both animals are so well looked after.

Another AMAZING housesit by Gerhard and Hannah. I feel so comfortable leaving my dogs and home in their care. I always come home to two happy dogs and a home the way I left it (and I'm super fussy!). I cannot recommend Gerhard and Hannah highly enough 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is the sixth time Gerhard and Hannah have looked after our two whippets. As per other times we always come home to a tidy house and very happy doggies. If you are lucky enough to find them available for your dates then book them quickly!

Gerard and Hannah were great sitters once again! We were totally relaxed while we were away, knowing that the house was being taken care of. They were also very accommodating re trades people being around. Much appreciated

Gerhard and Hannah are our favourite pet sitters—and the whippets agree! We always return to a tidy home and, most importantly, two happy dogs.

This is the second long term house sit Gerhard & Hannah have completed for me and I cannot speak more highly of them. They have gone above and beyond to look after my too dogs as well as my apartment. Both dogs have required visits to the vet as well as having their nails clipped. Without them and the care they take while I'm away I wouldn't have enjoyed my trip away for 3 months. Both my dogs have formed wonderful bonds with Gerhard & Hannah and are now lifetime friends.
Hannah and Gerhard are highly competent house sitters. Their communication was excellent and the house was left impeccable for our return home. We’d love you back anytime guys! Hopefully for some better sun and surf! Thank you 🤩

Gerhard and Hannah were wonderful house and pet sitters. The house was well looked after and Saffron too. She had lots of exercise and we were sent photos of a very happy and contented Vizla!

Gerhard and Hannah were amazing pet and house sitters. I was extremely nervous leaving my two dogs and home however Gerhard and Hannah soon put me at ease. I received regular updates and pictures/videos of the dogs which meant I could see how happy the dogs were. This was a 7 week housesit and I couldn't fault Gerhard or Hannah. They took great care of the dogs as well as my apartment. I'm so grateful to them for doing such a fantastic job which meant I could travel and not worry. I have no ...

This is the third time Hannah and Gerhard have looked after our whippets. The house was spotless and the whippets happy and healthy when we returned. We definitely recommend them as pet sitters.
Gerhard and Hannah were flexible in communicating and meeting with us prior to the house sit to meet our dog. They had good communication with us over the house-sit and tried their best connecting with our anxious furbaby. The place was spotless when we returned. Thank you!

Gerard and Hannah exceeded all expectations. They kept in touch, sent photos of a very happy dog. Our house was very clean and tidy on our arrival home. The home baking was a bonus! We couldn’t be happier.

Gerhard and Hannah looked after our two young whippets while we were away. They are great communicators, sending us pics and updates every day. We came home to two very relaxed dogs and an absolutely spotless house. They are a lovely couple and I’ve already booked them again. We highly recommend them.
