I was a little nervous, but Katie made this easy. She was easy to communicate with, sent us photos of our pup on walks, the house was super tidy, warm and clean on return. I would recommend her to look after your home and pets, absolutely.
stellar. Taylah & Katie are amazing, trustworthy, communicative and all-around great. We hope to have them with us again soon
Taylah & Katie were so great taking care of our kitty. Gave us regular updates and were very easy to communicate with. Will definitely ask them back for our next trip!
Taylah amd Katie were excellent house sitters and I returned to Auckland to a clean and tidy house They looked after my elderly, spoiled and rather demanding cat very well and she was obviously very happy. In addition to this my rose garden is flourishing. It would be a pleasure to have them stay here again in the future.
This delightful couple communicated well and were able to take the time to identify the needs of our fur babies. The dog was well walked and house was clean and tidy on our return. Couldn't have asked for better
Taylah & Katie took great care of both Arthur and our house. We got regular updates of the adventures they took him on. We returned to a happy dog, spotlessly clean house, and a freshly made loaf of sourdough bread. Would highly recommend!
Taylah & Katie are awesome, they took our dog on lots of walks, sent us photos and updates regularly and left the house clean and tidy. They are super lovely and we definitely plan to book them again in the future.
