favoriteWhy we love house sitting

What we love most about house sitting is the chance to slow down, care for beautiful homes and pets, and truly feel part of a place rather than just passing through. We enjoy settling into each home, bonding with animals, and creating a calm, loving environment for them.

Anais and Gonzalo once again were wonderful sitters for my little feline friend while I was away recently. Molly (my little white cat) was very well looked after and the house very well cared for. I came home to a contented kitty, a spotless house and a tidy garden. I really appreciated too the excellent communications Gonzalo and Anais provided while I was away - very reassuring. I cannot recommend Anais and Gonzalo highly enough.
Thank you so much Helen 💓
Anais and Gonzalo were awesome to deal with. Very friendly and warm. They took care of our 5 year old Labradoodle like their own. Their comms were great - they sent daily updates which gave us a good peace of mind. Our doggie was super happy and we are very grateful. House was kept clean and tidy. Will definitely rebook them again.

Anais and Gonzalo were wonderful cat sitters for Molly and looked after my home beautifully while I was away. Their regular communications while I was away were very informative and helpful. I came home to a clean and tidy house, a well watered garden and a content cat due their care and diligence. I cant recommend them highly enough.
Anais & Gonzalo did a wonderful job of looking after our fur babies. We got lots of pictures and photos of them all having a lovely time! House was clean and tidy and we would be very happy to have them sit for us again! Thank you :)

Anais and Gonzalo were the most amazing cat sitters while I was away. I cant recommend them highly enough. Molly my little feline friend was wonderfully looked after. When she become ill they quickly recognised she was not well and promptly took her to the vet and kept me well informed. By the time I returned Molly had recovered due to Anais and Gonzalo's excellent care. The house was very clean and tidy on my return and the garden well watered too!
Thank you so much for your lovely review Helen 💛
Anais and Gonzalo are a lovely couple. They took care of our house and dog for a week and kept us updated on a regular basis. They kept the house clean and tidy as well. We are definitely keen to have them housesit again!

Anais and Gonzalo are a pleasure to work with. They are kind, trustworthy and flexible. I had regular pictures and communication with them when I was away. I was always pleased to hear the latest adventures with Harry the dog and they clearly enjoyed spending time looking after the house and Harry. The house and garden were well looked after and very clean when I returned. I had to make a few adjustments to dates at the end of my trip. Anais and Gonz were very accommodating with ...

I would love to have Anais and Gonz to housesit in the future. They are a pleasure to work with. Thank you to you both.

Gonzalo & Anais were amazing house-sitters. Both our boxer dog Stanlee and our cat were well looked after while we were overseas. We got a daily short video of our dog having a great time and not missing us at all, lol! Wouldn't hesitate to have this lovely couple house-sit for us again. Highly recommend. Thanks!

Fabulous communication and loved lots of pics. The home was left immaculate and our Wally loved them. We're so impressed that we are using them again in October XOXO
The house was spotless, we received regular updates and our 2 doggies were super happy. They even won over our nervous pup who has never been for a walk with dog sitters before! Highly recommend and really hope they are free next time we're away!
This was my 1st experience of using house sitters and it exceeded my expectations. Anais and Gonzalo looked after my home and the furbabies as if they were their own. Flossi the dog looked happy and relaxed in the photos and videos sent and it was obvious that they all got along well together. They left my home very clean and tidy. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for house and pet sitters.
Oh thank you so much Sue 🥰

Anais and Gonzalo did a great job of looking after Harry the dog and keeping me informed of how they were going. The house was very clean and tidy on my return and Harry was very happy. I would recommend them for any similar house / pet sit.
Thank you Brian !
Anais & Gonzalo were great house sitters! Super easy to communicate with, took great care of our dog, and left the house tidier than when we left! Would highly recommend.

Unfortunately this sit was cancelled but our meeting with Anais and Gonzalo was very successful and we have no hesitation using them to Wally-sit in April
This lovely couple stepped in last minute when our previously arranged sitter cancelled. They provided excellent care of our dog with lots of walks and enrichment. Our dog was content and calm on our return so he clearly enjoyed his time. The house was kept clean and we arrived home to it spotless. We would not hesitate to use again.
Just fantastic. Anais and Gonzalo agreed to sit for us at short notice and were just amazing to deal with. Our dog was so well looked after and instantly comfortable with them. The house was immaculate. They were incredibly flexible when we had an issue with dates due to the Mangawhai tornado. We couldn’t recommend them more highly and would have them sit again for us in a heartbeat. Thank you!
Anais and Gonzalo were a pleasure to host, We had a handover day and loved hearing about their lives and travels, such a pleasure to meet them. Really nice people. They took such good care of our pets and home, everything was immaculately clean and tidy and the pets were very calm and happy when we got home. Highly recommended
Anaïs and Gonzalo were amazing! They had awesome communication, looked after my home brilliantly and my fur baby was super chilled when we arrived home. I would have no hesitation in recommending them & would have them back again. AA++
Anais was a fantastic house/pet sitter! She clearly loves animals - she looked after my Labrador and cat very well. She took my Labrador for regular walks and kept me updated with messages, photos and videos. She also left the house clean and tidy. We were lucky to find Anais!
Anais was amazing from the start.. coming and visiting the dogs before I left. Great communication, with pictures and updates throughout the sit. Doris and Lando were both very happy and well looked after. Was wonderful to come home to a clean house thank you. Would recommend for house/pet sitting and will definetly use Anais to sit again if she is available.
Anais was an absolute legend whilst looking after our house and two cats. She came to see how everything works prior to us leaving and was great with regular updates whilst we were away. Pics of the cats for the kids to enjoy as well. We have no hesitation in recommending her as a house sitter - 5 stars! 🌟
