Originally we wanted Jeanette for 3 weeks but unfortunately we had a family emergency and could only get away for one week. Jeanette was very flexible and able to accommodate the changes in plans. She adapted to our demanding fur babies demands and kept in constant communication with us which was great. She left the house in a very tidy state and our only regret was we could not have had more time away with her in charge. Maybe next time! Our first experience with a house sitter and it was ...

Jeanette did a great job of looking after my dog, cats and chickens.
My house was also left clean and tidy.
She kept me informed of any issues that occurred.
I would recommend her as a sitter.
Thanks Jeanette

As always Jeanette did an amazing job of looking after our home and Gary.

Thank you again Jeanette. Brilliant effort considering the move we made in between confirming this sit then moving from the old house and moving into another house. As per normal you made this seamless! Thank you for being able to keep the cats in too- youre a gem !

Jeanette looked after our house and our greyhound for 11 days while we were away on holiday and I was really impressed with how everything went! We came home to a very tidy house, sheets on the line and our dog (although excited to see us!) not phased at all about us being away. Highly recommend Jeanette to anyone looking for a house sitter 😊
KARLA (Kaiapoi South Island, Jan 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
Jeanette took care of our cat George and our chickens for three weeks. George is very affectionate and demands a fair amount of attention, which he was given by Jeanette. The house was well looked after and plants taken care of too. There was also good communication before, during and after the sit. We would definitely recommend Jeanette to others.

Thanks Jeanette for taking the time to communicate with Frankie, he can be quite standoffish!
House was great when we returned

This was our 1st time using a house sitter and Jeanette was excellent to work with. Easy to communicate with throughout and helped us feel confident that everything was going to be great and our two cats would be well looked after.
We arrived home to a clean and tidy house and two very happy wee cats. Jeanette even washed all her towel and sheets for me, which was so appreciated and impressive as we were on a morning flight arrival.
I would definitely engage with Jeanette again. Thank ... MOREThis was our 1st time using a house sitter and Jeanette was excellent to work with. Easy to communicate with throughout and helped us feel confident that everything was going to be great and our two cats would be well looked after.

I would definitely engage with Jeanette again. Thank you so much for looking after our two boys and home. Amazing work making sure Gatsby got some dinner not just fatty Gary :)

Jeanette was a perfect house sitter for us ! She is an experienced, and professional and house sitter and despite my pet's special requirements and our newness to house sitting, she made me feel confident and reassured our animals would be ok while we were away. Communication was fantastic and regular and my children were so happy for the updates. Jeanette was easy going and respectful of our house and understanding of our family's needs. I would highly recommend her and absolutely welcome her ... MOREJeanette was a perfect house sitter for us !

Jennette is a wonderful house sitter.
On arrival home our house was the way we left it, clean and tidy. The chickens and gardens and grounds where well cared for.
Thank you

Jeanette was lovely, She done a great job house sitting for us on our recent trip to the Gold Coast and our pets were happy and well cared for. Would def recommend her and welcome her back anytime.

I decided that Jeanette would be a good fit for my housesit,she was a similar age as myself and retired.
Jeanette came to stay with me 5 days prior to me going overseas, I thought this a good idea,as she could get used my routine with my dog and cat.
My first dog walk with her was not as I expected,she fell over in the park,while walking with me and the dog,she has mobility issues, which she didn't communicate to me.

I decided to let her stay and look after my cat,and I had to get my daughter to have my dog.
This wasn't what I signed up for.
I contacted Jeanette maybe 4 time's in 6 weeks to check on my cat Alfie.
I returned home to a dirty house, unwatered houseplants,and patio plants.
Very disappointing.
I have had housesitters in the past.
I would not recommend Jeanette.

Jeanette looked after our house and two cats for a week while we were on holidays. Cats were well cared for and the house was tidy when we returned. Thank you Jeanette.
SOFIA (New Brighton South Island, Jul 2022 - 1 week)
Jeanette looked after our house, can and chickens for 3 months. It was really easy to communicate with her and we always got good response to any questions or request we had. Our cat, who is rather temperamental, was well looked after and we returned to the chicken in full egg laying mood. It was great for us to know that we didn't have to worry about them.
CORINNE (Southbridge South Island, Apr 2022 - 3 months 2 weeks)
Jeanette was very friendly and responsive to communication. The house was impeccably tidy when we returned and the Dogs were very settled and relaxed. Due to our travel times and the short notice of the arrangement we didn't get to meet in person which was a shame as would have been nice but this posed no obstacle to working through practical questions via text around site access and household queries. Leaving flowers and unused product items was a lovely and thoughtful tough. Highly recommend. ... MOREJeanette was very friendly and responsive to communication.

It was a pleasure having Jeanette look after my two dogs and the house. The house was left very tidy and the dogs looked happy. I would definitely contact Jeanette again in future for house sits.
LEIGH-ANNE (Fendalton South Island, Jan 2022 - 1 week)
Jeanette was totally reliable and she took great care of our animals and of our home while we were away for almost 3 weeks. Our dogs showed they were very comfortable with Jeanette from their first introduction to her. We really appreciated having Jeanette who is both friendly and very trust worthy. Thank you Jeanette.
ANN (Parklands , Jul 2021 - 2 weeks 4 days)
Thanks, Jeanette for looking after the house and Mabel so well.
I'll hold on to your phone number and be happy to contact you again.
PAULA (Christchurch, New Zealand South Island, Jun 2021 - 5 days)
Jeanette was able to come and house sit at very short notice which gave us and our poochies great peace of mind. And bonnie and clyde company. We both kept in contact while we were away. Dogs got out for a walk even though the weather was so bad due to rain and flooding.
Would get Jeanette again to house sit in the future.
RACHEL (Dunsandel South Island, May 2021 - 4 days)
Jeanette kept in close contact and was very helpful when I was lockdown in Australia. Unfortunately I was not in the country when Jeanette left the house so I am unable to comment further. The dogs enjoyed their walks
INGRID (Opawa South Island, Mar 2021 - 2 months 2 weeks)
Well communicated throughout House was clean and tidy, animals were fed and happy (and a little challenging... Bloody goats!) when we arrived home. thanks Jeanette
NATHAN (Leeston South Island, Feb 2021 - 3 days)
Trustworthy and reliable, thoroughly recommended. Also did a lot of gardening and housework while I was away - so a real bonus. And took me to, and collected me from the airport on each occasion.
Well done.
Highly recommended.

MIKE (Linwood South Island, Jan 2021 - 4 days)
Jeanette's help meant that I was, despite my age, able to go for an overseas spiritual retreat in Italy which now what with the coronavirus is a precious memory . My homestays were well looked after and the household ran smoothly in my absence thanks to Jeanette.
PHILIPPA (Upper Riccarton , Aug 2019 - 3 weeks)
Thank you so much Jeanette. The animals were all well looked after. Jeanette walked the dogs daily which we really appreciated! The house was tidy. Communication was really good also. Good luck with the rest of your house sits :) Gold stars and A++

Jeanette was a pleasure to deal with and took great care if the house and our cat.
BRENDAN (Yaldhurst South Island, Feb 2019 - 1 week 4 days)
We came back to our house just as we left it and Jeanette had even done some gardening which was a great help. My cat was happy and had been fed as normal. Highly recommend Jeanette as a sitter.
