favoriteWhy we love house sitting

Caring for people and for animals is so satisfying and fulfilling! And pet/housesitting is a great way to meet new people and see new places.

Hello, we are house-proud, non smoking family (4 children) with house and pet caring experience, currently living in Tauranga. We now have a small pop-up roof caravan the kids love to sleep in plus we have own pillows, blankets etc. Hence we usually fit in one bedroom. Gardening and house maintenance is a pleasure, if needed. Looking forward to your message.

We left our home and animals in the care of Karel, Sarka and family and we left for a 4 week holiday with no concerns. We were delighted to return home and find they had left our home in a great condition and our animals were well cared for.
Karel, Sarka and their family have been excellent house-sitters. They brought their children to meet my pets before the house-sit. The house was spotless and the garden well cared for on my return. Communication was mostly via texts, but response was quick. Most importantly, they took excellent care of my dogs and cat. I was overseas when my dog became ill suddenly, and Karel took excellent care of the dog and vet arrangements during this time. You can trust them to take care of your home and ...

The house was spotless and the garden well cared for on my return. Communication was mostly via texts, but response was quick. Most importantly, they took excellent care of my dogs and cat. I was overseas when my dog became ill suddenly, and Karel took excellent care of the dog and vet arrangements during this time. You can trust them to take care of your home and beloved animals as if it was their own. I would highly recommend them and would use them again if they are available.

Was all okay! Thanks
We left Karel, Sarka and their four children in charge of our home and avocado orchard for 7 months - as well as Bolt our black Labrador. We had good communication with them while we were away in the EU and UK. Karel asked questions when he felt it was necessary which gave us confidence that they knew what they were doing. On our return we found the orchard and the property in a great condition, and a great note from their children thanking us for the house sit and time with Bolt.. We would ...

This is the second time Karel and Sarka have taken care of our home and fur family while we were away, and we would not hesitate to recommend this lovely family to others. Karel sent several photo updates, was quick to respond to my "how is it going" message and we arrived home to a beautiful clean home with the linen already washed and dried and happy dogs and horses. They are very courteous and always make sure they ask if there is anything they are unsure of. It is a great feeling to ...

Karel and Sarka have just completed a long weekend sit for us and it couldn't have gone better! As we have 3 dogs, I initially had some concern when I met Karel, Sarka and their 4 gorgeous children, however, my concerns were completely unfounded. We arrange for them to spend time with us and the dogs which they did on several occasions before the sit. By the time we went away, the children were happily leading the dogs around, getting them to follow instructions and in general showing ...

We arrange for them to spend time with us and the dogs which they did on several occasions before the sit. By the time we went away, the children were happily leading the dogs around, getting them to follow instructions and in general showing careful confidence. Karel was great at communicating and we arrived home to very happy, relaxed (and tired) dogs!, The house was immaculate, the linen had been washed and the fire re set. I would not hesitate in recommending this lovely family and would definitely book them again.
