favoriteWhy we love house sitting

House sitting allows us to connect with pets and nature, create meaningful routines, and feel at home (living like a local) while exploring new corners of the world together as a family.

We are a family of 3, Danny (51), Corinne (48) and Clara (6). We are animal lovers with Danny and Corinne growing up with a variety of pets in rural and bush surroundings. We live in our own home (for 10+ years) in Hamilton with 2 spoilt cats. Our previous cats have had medical issues so have familiarity with medicating pets. We have experience house/pet sitting (including lifestyle blocks) and will care for your home/pets as we would our own. We enjoy spending time with pets, including ...

We live in our own home (for 10+ years) in Hamilton with 2 spoilt cats. Our previous cats have had medical issues so have familiarity with medicating pets. We have experience house/pet sitting (including lifestyle blocks) and will care for your home/pets as we would our own. We enjoy spending time with pets, including exercising them if needed.

We work part time and are on flexible hours from home, choosing to spend most of our time with our daughter while she is young. Clara loves animals, being quiet, gentle and attentive with them.

We are non-smokers and enjoy being outdoors - biking, tramping, kayaking. We are reliable, quiet, clean and tidy.

We have outstanding references from house/pet sitting in New Zealand and Australia (see reviews attached to our profile) plus have done return housesits for some of these now; also completed other housesits (1 sit returning 8 times with each sit being 2-4 weeks long so can provided extra references if required), and have excellent reviews from rented accommodation (Air BNB) from all over the world.

From Aussie House Sitters
Corrine and Danny were exceptional with the care looking after our Lab Sally and our home. We were reassured with regular pics and updates of a very happy Sally on her walks and playing with their daughter. On our return the house was spotlessly clean, the laundry was washed and folded and they even did what we had left in the basket. All our plants were well cared for It was obvious Sally enjoyed their company as she was happy, clean, calm and content. We opened the fridge to a bottle of ...

We opened the fridge to a bottle of fresh milk and a note saying homemade pumpkin soup and chili sauce that Danny made and to enjoy This was the first time using Aussie Housesitters so we were a little nervous Thanks Corrine and Danny for making it such a positive and wonderful experience. We would happily welcome you back to our home

Corinne, Clara & Danny were great! Really easy communication and took great care of Tama. The house was so tidy when I arrived home. I appreciated the updates throughout the short stay and would recommend this family for house sits going forward :)
Thank you Corinne and Danny for allowing me to go away for a birthday weekend treat by caring for Chester and Penny over 2 days and nights. I’m so grateful for the attention you gave to Chester in particular who was clingy and anxious and had an upset tum, and the extra efforts you made there. Not only did Corinne and Danny deal with a poonami, but they cleaned the carpet and washed the bedding as well. I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely family to others.

We would love to have them back, but not until we have this old boy’s anxiety under good control. Staycations meanwhile for us.

We had an excellent experience with Corinne and Danny. The house was left absolutely spotless, genuinely spick and span and communication was fantastic throughout. We received daily updates with photos, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. They were amazing with our dog and even went above and beyond by taking her out in the car to Cornwall Park. We felt completely at ease the whole weekend and would happily have them back. Highly recommend.
Corinne & Danny were amazing to deal with and were the perfect sitters for our little pup. Our home was left beautiful and tidy which was much appreciated! Will for sure be looking to have them back.

These guys did a fantastic job at looking after my home and animals, Communication was great from start to finish. I returned home to a lovely clean home with all the animals happy and content. Would recommend these guys again in a heart beat
A lovely family, went above and beyond to keep the house clean and tidy by bringing their own sheets and towels. I really appreciated them downloading WhatsApp to keep up updated with daily (beautifully shot!) photos of our cats. We warmed to this lovely family instantly when they arrived in time for us to do an in person handover - walking our cats on the leashes outside with ease! Highly recommend.
It was our first time using Kiwi house sitters and we are super happy with how Corinne and Danny cared for our home and our beloved dog Koru. We came home to a happy dog and a lovely tidy house. I would gladly recommend them to anyone after a house sitter. Thank you so much !
Corinne and Danny left the house in perfect condition and the plants were looking good. Thank you very much for your care of the cat and garden. Highly recommended.
Corinne, Danny & Clara were fantastic housesitter’s for both our two pets and our home. Communication was prompt, easy, and with updates and reassurances during the sit that all was well. They coped despite our scratchy & itchy dog, and took great care of him. They also left the house in an immaculate condition making our return home an easy pleasure. We highly recommend them for further sits and will be sure to have them back on future!

Wow! Danny and Corinne were kind and considerate, taking the best care of our pets, home and garden. They were fabulous communicators taking the time to clarify and ask questions. There is nothing like coming home to happy healthy pets that have clearly been loved while we were away. There is also nothing like coming home to fresh sheets on my bed and the house being left immmaculate! You can take comfort that Danny and Corinne treat your home like thier own home.

Corinne and Danny generously extended their sit by a day when I mucked up the dates, and looked after Harry. He was quite anxious for the first couple of days but he settled down and seemed very happy after that. He slept with their daughter and was happy having cuddles and purrs with them too. They kept in touch to let us know all was well. Every was nice and tidy when we got home and even some soup in the fridge for supper. Many thanks.
Thank you Corinne, Danny & Clara for taking such great care of Tink & the house while we were away. So nice to arrive home late after flight delays to a clean warm house & lights on with a happy little dog, who obviously enjoyed their company. Great communication while we were away, happy to recommend to anyone looking for house sitters.
Corinne and Danny were great. It was just so easy, and we had total confidence in them. Highly recommended.
A lovely family that took wonderful care of our boisterous dog and other animals. The house was as we left it. Corrine was so easy to communicate with and we couldn’t have been happier! A++
Thanks so much Corinne and Danny for looking after our home so well and caring for Sam with such diligence. It was a relief after a long and tiring journey to come back to a spotless house and all plants in the garden alive and thriving! Very happy to recommend this lovely couple (and their daughter) and hope you'll be available next time we go away.
Corinne and her family were fantastic house sitters. She was really responsive on all communication. I came back to an immaculate house. And my beloved cat was well cared for.

Corrine, Danny & Clara house sit for us in August while we were overseas. From the start, we had great communication between them. They kept the house as we would and even while we were overseas, they were great communicators. It’s nice to find, good genuine people when you are having strangers in your home, I would recommend them to anyone who is looking at doing this for the first time and a little anxious about having someone in their home.

They took great care of our two dogs. Gucci who is our rescue dog is very timid with newcomers and within a couple of days felt warm and comfortable with them. You could see by the way they were when we got home, they way the dogs were so attached to them. If your looking for reliable, clean and genuine house sitters don’t look any further

Corinne and family were fantastic and very trustworthy house and pet sitters for our dog and cat. We had great communication prior to the date and did a FaceTime to talk through details. This was very beneficial for all of us. During the sit Corinne kept us updated regularly. They left the house very tidy and even a few homemade preserves! Jessie loves them and we’d welcome them back any time.
Peace of Mind

Happy you!

With a house sitter looking after your pets, house and garden - you can really relax. Happy days.
