Simon and Tonya are homeowners and a professional New Zealand born couple who work part time, allowing the flexibility and desire to explore different parts of New Zealand. As we are non smokers our preference would be for non-smoking petsits.
Although we now live in Taupo, we have previously lived in Tauranga, and Auckland (both city and rural). We have also owned lifestyle blocks so are confident with most domestic and farm animals and farm processes.
We have been lucky enough to have animals - cats, dogs, sheep, chickens, as part of our family, and would be happy to care for you pets and house, anywhere in New Zealand - urban or rural.
Tonya and Simon took great care of our house and pets. We had regular updates and pictures to show how our crew were doing while we were away. The house was lovely and tidy when we came home, they even tidied our pantry and cleaned our windows. The blanket for Oscar was a lovely touch. Happy to recommend them to anyone.
Tonya and Simon were fantastic house sitters. They took great care of the pets, house and garden and kept in contract before, during and at the end of their stay, We highly recommend them.
Wonderful housesitters! So friendly, helpful and responsive. Left the place spotless, the laundry done and a lovely bunch of handpicked flowers
I don't think there are words to do Tonya and Simon justice - they were truly phenomenal.
From the onset communication was first class, they were so approachable.
When we spoke initially I was immediately put at ease and could tell Rudi and Treacle would be in great hands - they really were! Nothing was too much trouble, the house was immaculate when we got home, the lawns had been mowed even though we hadn't asked them too and the dogs had obviously been so well cared for.

It was such a joy to have Tonya and Simon do our house sit. What a lovely couple who were genuine and warm. They took amazing care of our fur babies and even made them the most gorgeous pet blankets while we were away! They were great with communications and we feel very lucky to have had them stay in our home. We hope you might want to come back some time guys! Florence and Bodie miss you too!
Tonya and Simon were delightful housesitters and I would happily have them back at any stage. They kept in contact and looked after our cat Max well, and the house was spotless on our return. Thank you so much!
Tonya and Simon have house sat for us a number of times, I couldn't recommend them enough, they are amazing. Great communicators, they send us photos of our dog which is hugely appreciated and they keep the house clean and tidy. I would have them back anytime.
Tonya and Simon house sat while we were overseas. They have house sat for us before. I feel very comfortable leaving our very loved dog with them. They keep us updated, are great communicators, and I would love to have them again.
The loveliest housesitters that left our home spotless and took great care of our dog.
Excellent daily communication during their stay, Tonya and Simon took great care of our home.
Can't recommend them enough, they even left a lovely wee gift for our dog :-)
Great communication daily updates on our animals
Excellent care of animals and house
Many thanks to Tonya and Simon
Thank you so much Simon and Tonya for looking after Cilla and our home! Lovely to come home to an immaculate house, garden weeded and a gorgeous blanket hand stitched for Cilla! Love to have you back again!
Tonya and Simon were amazing. It was our first time using kiwi house sitters and I was nervous about how it worked. Tonya and Simon kept in regular contact, they sent us photos of Charlie and the house was immaculate with little super thoughtful gifts left. We would love to have them back again.
They came again and were amazing once more. Nothing but 5 stars for these guys. Our pets love them and were spoilt rotten!
Tonya and Simon were amazing! Stayed in contacted and sent photos while we were away. The house was left beautifully and the animals were loved and cared for!! Thank you both so much! We hope you come back!!
Tonya and Simon came to sit for us for 4 days. Communication was incredible! Such a lovely couple who made a special effort to come and understand our needs prior to the sit. Progress pictures of the animals were great too. House left immaculate! Highly recommend.
Thank you Tonya & Simon for taking such wonderful care of Maybee & Macie. They can be very needy at times. Everything was just perfect when we arrived home.
Glad you enjoyed your stay & managed to catch up with family.
After a rather wobbly start, due to concerns about Sasha having been spayed and having a "turned-in eyelid op". a week before the sit, Tonya and Simon arrived. Happily, all went very well and I came home to a beautifully cared for house and a very happy and well exercised dog. There were even leftovers in the fridge for dinner. I would thoroughly recommend Tonya & Simon to anyone wanting their house and pets cared for. They were a lovely couple, who communicated well and even stopped by the vet ... MORE
It was so lovely to come home to a beautifully clean and tidy house with a gorgeous bunch of flowers to welcome us home. Our pets were well looked after and we appreciated the communication and photos sent to us to put us at ease.
We highly recommend Tonya and Simon to house sit for you if you get the chance to have them in your home.
Thanks again Tonya and Simon.
Simon and Tonya are a lovely couple who kept in touch through the whole process including updates and pics of our pets. Everything was ship shape when we got home as if we hadn't left - very relaxed animals and a clean oven!
Definitely recommended.
Tonya and Simon were great house sitters. Great communication, we loved the daily photos of our fur and feather babies, it set our minds at ease. The house was immaculate when we got back. Would highly recommend them to anyone.
Tonya's and Simon's calm and confident care of our livestock ensured that we returned to happy, well fed animals. We appreciated regular updates and coming home to a lovely clean and tidy house. Thank you Tonya and Simon- we had a great post lockdown break.
Thanks Simon and Tonya
It was great to get updates with pictures made us feel good that our fur babies were in safe hands.
The house was left in perfect condition even with extra things done that we did not expect.
We would definitely recommend Simon & Tonya to look after your house and Animals
Cheers

Tonya and Simon were the best Housesitters, thank you so much for looking after our fur babies and our home. Our home was cleaner than we left it, my kitchen draws had a make over, my windows we cleaned. Fantastic communication. Would highly recommend Tonya and Simon and will have them back anyday. It was so lovely to be away and not have to worry about home , thanks for making our trip even better than it was xx
Tonya and Simon were fantastic, the house was clean and animals all happy. Totally recommended.
This was our first time using house sitters and it was great to meet Simon and Tonya. They were excellent people to have in our house and were well organised, punctual and excellent communicators. Our animals loved having them here and they genuinely loved looking after them. Thoroughly recommened.
We are incredibly thankful for how our house and furry family members were cared for while we were away. Wonderful communication, punctual, reliable and caring. Our house looked better than when we left! We would welcome these guys back in a heartbeat - you would be foolish to overlook them
There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
