Hi! We’re Claire and Josh, and we’d love the opportunity to care for your home and furry companion while you’re away.

As experienced house sitters and pet lovers, we know how important it is to keep a home running smoothly and pets happy. Although we are new to the Kiwi House Sitters Site, we come with references and background checks (from other house sits), that you are welcome to reach out to.

Hi! We’re Claire and Josh, and we’d love the opportunity to care for your home and furry companion while you’re away.

As experienced house sitters and pet lovers, we know how important it is to keep a home running smoothly and pets happy. Although we are new to the Kiwi House Sitters Site, we come with references and background checks (from other house sits), that you are welcome to reach out to.

Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, or those all-important belly rubs, we’ll provide your pet with attentive care tailored to their needs (Claire works from home). Being home owners ourselves we also understand the importance of maintaining a clean and tidy home and are will treat your space with respect.

Beyond our love for animals, we’re reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. We’re happy to send regular updates, including photos, so you can feel reassured that everything is running smoothly while you’re away.

If you’re looking for someone to care for your beloved animal as if they were our own, maintain your home with care, and ensure everything is just as you left it when you return, we’d be honored to help.

Let us know if you’d like to chat further or discuss your specific needs, we’re happy to accommodate!

A huge thank you to Claire and Josh for taking such care of our home and pets. It was great to go away for 5 weeks without feeling concerned and stressed about leaving them, knowing everything was in such capable and caring hands. We came home to a beautiful clean house and settled animals ( not always easy looking after 3 cats and an old dog with very different personalities 😀). We welcomed the regular updates and photos. We would highly recommend this awesome couple to others. ... MoreA huge thank you to Claire and Josh for taking such care of our home and pets.

Claire and Josh looked after our high energy puppy and house and we could not be happier. Communication from the start was timely they were flexible with dates as we had stand by travel plans. Our pup Soju was well looked after and seemed very happy in the regular updates that Claire and Josh sent. The house was well looked after and kept tidy and clean. We would highly recommend Clair and Josh!
Claire and Josh were great sitters during a 5-night stay, for our 2 boxer dogs (3yrs & 9mths), 1 cat and our marine salt-water fish tank. The weather wasn't the best, but Claire still managed to get our dogs out for some exercise and the house was left very clean and tidy. Highly recommend. Thanks!
We couldn’t have asked for better house sitters than Claire and Josh. They looked after our home and our large breed dog, Lupin, for six weeks, and we were genuinely blown away by the level of care and attention they provided. From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease leaving both Lupin and our home in their hands. On our return, the house was absolutely immaculate—honestly, it looked like a show home. Everything was spotless and beautifully maintained. But most ... MoreWe couldn’t have asked for better house sitters than Claire and Josh. They looked after our home and our large breed dog, Lupin, for six weeks, and we were genuinely blown away by the level of care and attention they provided. From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease leaving both Lupin and our home in their hands. On our return, the house was absolutely immaculate—honestly, it looked like a show home. Everything was spotless and beautifully maintained. But most importantly, Lupin clearly had a fantastic time. She was happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. It’s obvious she formed a real bond with them—she’s been missing them since they left! Organised, responsible and respectful, couldn’t have asked for better sitters, we were very lucky to have them stay!
