Fulltime Housesitting Animal Lovers

43, Work from Home

43, Work form Home

Hello Everyone we are Scott and Selina and have a huge passion for all animals, we are fulltime house sitters and we have come to find it's a huge passion for both of us to help people care for their animals and homes while they have a much deserved holiday or for what other reasons they need to be away.

We are a clean and extremely tidy couple, we don't drink or smoke. We will think of your house as our own and take care of it to the highest standards. We also have references too.
Both Scott and I work online so we are home most of the day, so you know your pawsome pets will have lots of company and cuddles and playtime.
Scott loves to garden and takes pride in his work.

We absolutely love all kinds of animals, which we have owned over the years including cats, fish, birds, giant Flemish rabbits, also including two gorgeous dogs, one Rottweiler and one German Shepard cross, so we are used to large dogs.
Since we started house siting we have cared for one pet households to big farm and lifestyle blocks (even a kiwi fruit orchard) from fish to horses and everything in between.

With animals that need extra care we are used to administering medicine if need be and have also cared for many special needs animals to who have been rescued and lots of pets who have anxiety issues.

We consider House sitting as a privilege as we are trusted with your lovely home and beloved pets and you can be sure we won't take this for granted.

We love to work and stay active so your lovely dogs will get lots of exercise, we also use to foster for our local vet, which was very rewarding.

We will keep you updated regularly on your pets and also lots of photos while you are away so that you have peace of mind while on your travels.

We look forward to hearing from you.

A+++++ :) Would highly recommend Scott and Selina and will use them again next time I need a house sitter. Not only was my dog pampered and cared for with much love and attention, my house/property was left spotless and Scott even did the lawns for me which is no mean feat! Communication was excellent and they went above and beyond to ensure my wee dog was happy and comfortable while I was away and I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing she was well cared for. I can't thank them enough :) ... MORE
 
SHEREE (Maketu North Island, Jan 2024 - 2 weeks 1 night)
Scott and Selina were a pleasure to meet and have sit for us. We would happily have them return.
 
LORI (Rukuhia North Island, Jan 2024 - 4 nights)
Scott and Selina were absolutely fabulous - they took immaculate care of our home and I think our dog and cats love them more than us now :-) We were travelling out of the country for 6 weeks and the communication was spot on. From updates and pictures of the animals to keeping our house in perfect condition. The attention to detail in everything that they did was above and beyond what I could have hoped for. We would have them back to housesit again in a heartbeat and fully recommend ... MORE
 
IRENE (Nawton North Island, Nov 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Scott and Selina house sat for us for 3 weeks while overseas, and looked after our 2 small dogs and cat. Everything rave very smoothly, from first to last contact, they are very organized sitters. Plenty of pics of pets to enjoy during our holiday, would highly recommend and have back to sit again. Thanks Scott and Selina, apologies for the later review.
 
JOHN (Aotea, Kawhia North Island, Aug 2023 - 2 weeks 6 nights)
Scott and Selina, looked after my dog and house while I was away overseas for 2 months. When I returned home I was delighted to find that my house was lovely and clean and my rather naughty poodle Leo, had been trained. He was very happy with Scott who knows a lot about dogs and their behaviour. I would be happy to have them back in the future.
 
SARAH (Onetangi North Island, Jul 2023 - 2 months)
Scott and Selina are just wonderful, lots of communication before and during their stay, our Jazz was so well looked after and very happy once home. we can't say enough about this couple as house & pet sitters, thank-you to both of you so very very much. Cheers Jen & Ken
 
JEN (Whangamata North Island, Jun 2023 - 4 weeks)
Scott and his partner Selina took good care of our home and cat. I would recommend them to anyone needing their place protected and kept tidy while they are away. Their honesty and integrity was evident from start to finish. Well done!!
 
MARY (Hillpark North Island, Apr 2023 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Scott and Selina were amazing housesitters. Our two dogs were so happy on our return after 5 weeks away, They were relaxed and healthy. The house was immaculate and all our plants well cared for. All communication with them was clear and accurate. We would HIGHLY recommend Scott and Selina and hope that they will house sit again for us in the future (they are pretty booked up all the time, which is an indication of how great they are!)
 
MEL & CAREY (Waipu , Mar 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Scott & Selina looked after our property and the challenge of our very skittish cat for 4 weeks while we were overseas. Their communication was fantastic and they even ensured that our 3 cars batteries never went flat. We came home to an absolutely immaculate house, garden and healthy indoor plants & our cat in excellent condition. I will most definitely approach Scott & Selina for any future housesit requirements (with the hope that they're available as they're booked out well in advance) & ... MORE
 
ALONA (Papamoa Beach North Island, Jan 2023 - 4 weeks)
Scott and Selena are very proactive communicators and organised when it comes to arranging the sit. They also left our house in immaculate condition, with clean sheets on the bed etc, which is always nice to come home to. They even went the extra mile and took down our Christmas tree for us!
 
KERRY (Waimate North North Island, Dec 2022 - 1 week 1 day)
Absolutely amazing experience with Scott and Selina!!! We have had pet sitters a few times and this wonderful, caring couple take it to the next level with attention to details and true affection for every pet. Every aspect of care and consideration was anticipated by Scott and Selina throughout the entire process and stay. Communication was easy and as frequent as we needed to feel completely at ease for our entire holiday. Upon return home our pets were happy and healthy and our house ... MORE
 
LYNN (Whangarei Central North Island, Oct 2022 - 1 week 6 days)
Scott and Selina were fantastic. It was a long stay through winter with large gardens and an off the grid system to work around. They handled everything just fine and their communication was outstanding. The house was immaculate when we got home and the grounds were well cared for. We would thoroughly recommend to anyone. We wish them well for the future.
 
DENISE (Coroglen North Island, May 2022 - 6 months)
Scott and Selina were the perfect house sitters. They house sat for me for me for 6 months whilst I was overseas and I came home to an immaculate house and garden. I highly recommend them as house sitters.
 
JANE (Awapuni North Island, Sep 2021 - 6 months)
Scott and Selina were fantastic. So easy to communicate with, and so quick to understand how things work at our place. The house was left sparkling clean and tidy and our precious cat was very chilled out when we got back. He'd clearly had a very nice time. We hope Scott and Selina can come again!
 
JOCELYN (Titirangi North Island, Jul 2021 - 9 days)
Scott and Selina are fantastic house sitters that put your home and your pets first while they are the caretakers. They had to deal with a vet visit for my cat, house repairs after the main drain blocked but most of all the announcement of the impending NZ Level 4 Lockdown. They handled each of these with professionalism and care. I was kept fully informed about everything that was happening and how they were handling it. The fact they remained at my home, while knowing there was a risk of ... MORE
 
AISLING (Glenfield North Island, Jul 2021 - 2 months)
We struck the jackpot with Scott and Selina. What a great couple. Their friendly and confident approach filled us with confidence. so we could go away without a worry. Max the JR was excellently cared for and despite an early morning wake up call or two they had nothing but lovely words to say about him. Our house was spotless and communication was great. I would have them back to care for our home and dog in a heartbeat. Thank you to you both.
 
BRIDGET (Gisborne North Island, Jun 2021 - 1 week 6 days)
We were so lucky to have this couple look after our pets and home. Thorough and made sure pets were happy even before I left. Definitely recommend
 
KYLIE (Tauranga North Island, Jun 2021 - 4 days)
Great communication. House left clean and pets happy. Would happy recommend and/or use again
 
LIZ (Leamington North Island, Apr 2021 - 4 days)
Scott and Selina have been absolutely fabulous in looking after my two dogs Kai and Laila. Their communication leading up to the sit was great, and also during the sit I received regular updates on what my pups were up to. One of my dogs had knee surgery shortly before the sit, and Scott and Selina were happy to take her to the vet to have stitches removed. I was able to enjoy my holiday with the peace of mind that my dogs and property were very well looked after, and the house was spotless ... MORE
 
MARIE (Waiuku North Island, Mar 2021 - 10 days)
Scott & Selina are amazing house sitters!!! Great communication at every stage, so friendly and left us feeling very confident to leave our 3 Birman cats with them. Came home to really happy cats, gardens tended, lawns mowed and the house spotless. Thank you both!!! We would absolutely recommend them to you all, and will definitely welcome them back when we are next on holiday.
 
PAULINE (Ngatea North Island, Mar 2021 - 2 weeks)
Words can't express how happy and blessed we were to have Scott and Selina look after our pets and house Zac (cat) Benson (dog) were so well looked after they hardly wanted us home Gardens were weeded lawns mowed anc house was immaculate Scott even helped by carrying out household maintenance that we never get a chance to do We received photos and texts keeping us up to date I so look forward to having them back one day and can't thank them enough
 
SANDY (Mahora North Island, Feb 2021 - 3 weeks)
Scott and Selina were great house sitters, they looked after our pets and home perfectly. They were great communicators and really showed they cared and respected our place. Highly recommend.
 
JEAN (Matamata North Island, Feb 2021 - 3 nights)
We loved Scott and Selina. They played fetch with us, cuddled us and fed us real well. All the things most important to us dogs. They sent lots of pics to our parents to remind them we were missing them! And they even cleaned up all our mess so the house was clean when our parents returned home! signed, Bonnie (Border Collie and top dog)
 
KARI (Warkworth North Island, Jan 2021)
After reading many house sitter reviews Scott and Selina were our pick and we are so happy we chose them and that they were available. They are the nicest couple! We booked them months in advance and they kept in contact often until the sitting date. They are so easy to talk to and nothing was too much trouble for them. We had to leave early in the morning so they came over the night before to meet the animals and get to know the house . They left and then came back at 6 am for us to head off! ... MORE
 
TRISHA (Cambridge , Dec 2020 - 6 days)
Scott and Selina looked after our home and animals for 9 days in November. Unfortunately our old black labrador, Billie, was unwell when we left and they looked after her beautifully. They communicated really well with us about her and she soon recovered. We were delighted with how they left our home. many thanks.
 
JACKIE (Kaitaia North Island, Nov 2020 - 1 week 2 days)
Scott & Selina were FANTASTIC house sitters, I can see why they are so busy all the time. They came and met me ahead of time and wanted to meet the cats (all 5 of them) and to see if they were the right fit (great idea). We got on well and they confirmed their housesitting with us. We came home to a beautifully clean house and 5 very, very happy cats. They'd done the lawns for us and bought us some milk for our coffee. I cannot recommend them highly enough!! Thanks Scott & Selina for your ... MORE
 
CLAUDIA (Carterton , Oct 2020 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Scott and Selina house sat for us for the second time this year. Just as they did the first time, this sit was excellent. Great communication in the lead up to the sit. They both arrived on time which ensured a very smooth start to our holiday. While we were away our dog and cats were well looked after, we received photo updates to see what they had been up to On our return they had left our house spotless, and even left treats for our kids and pets ❤️ I have no ...

LIZ (Johnsonville North Island, Oct 2020 - 1 week 1 day - 1 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Scott and Selina have been amazing house sitters, they were supposed to be with us for 4 weeks but COVID cancelled our overseas trip but they were able to sit for a week instead. They have always stayed in touch before and during the sit. They sent us pics while we were away so we knew they were giving our fur babies lots of love and care. We came back to a lovely clean house they left us treats as well. I can see why they are always on house sits they are professional, totally reliable and ... MORE
 
ALISON (Wadestown North Island, Sep 2020 - 1 week)
We could't have been more pleased to have Scott and Selina look after our doggies and house. Fabulous communication throughout, before and during the sit. The garden looks fabulous and the dogs happy. The house was left immaculate. A welcome home surprise and milk in the fridge was unexpected and appreciated. Would happily have them stay again. Thanks again guys!
 
SHERYL (Albany North Island, Jul 2020 - 2 weeks)
This was our first time getting a house sitter so I was a bit nervous about leaving my furbabies with strangers but from the point of first contact I felt scott and selina were right for the position. Scott stayed in contact leading up to the sit and during their time at our home. Our furbabies were well looked after. So pleased we have rebooked them for when we are away next and definitely don't think of them as strangers now. Thank you for putting our minds at ease.
 
TRACEY (Broadlands North Island, Jun 2020 - 1 week 1 day)
Scott and Selina far exceeded our expectations, Our 3 dogs, 2 cats and 3 chickens were well taken care of, The house was left immaculate, and they communicated with us while we were away which gave us great peace of mind. When we go away again in the future we hope to be able to book Scott and Selina. Would highly recommend these two.
 
PAULA (Te Marua North Island, Jun 2020 - 6 days)
Scott & Selina are a great couple. Came home to a very tidy, sparkling house.. Dogs had learnt a few more manners. Would fully recommend them and will be using them again. Thanks guys and happy house sitting. Jock
 
JOCK (Whakatane North Island, May 2020 - 5 days)
Scott and Selina are amazing people, they feel more like friends to us this second time around! They love our pets as if they were their own and respect our home, always keeping it spotless for us. We were stuck overseas due to Covid 19 and they made sure our home was fully stocked with food for our arrival into our isolation period! They even left all the food needed for our allergy sensitive daughter! They made sure we were safe and offered us so much help and support on our journey home! I ... MORE
 
KIMBERLY (Maungaturoto North Island, Mar 2020 - 2 weeks 2 days - 1 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
my first time using Kiw house sitters. great experience. came home to spotless house and happy relaxed dogs and cats . cant recommend them enough, Thank you so much.
 
KEVIN (Tauranga North Island, Feb 2020 - 2 weeks)
It is a real pleasure to provide a review for Scott and Selina. My cats ( and geese ) were extremely well cared for and my house was immaculate ! Scott transformed an untidy garden ,and l am thrilled with the big effort he made ( totally unexpected l might add ). It was wonderful to go away knowing my place was left in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend them both and sincerely hope they will be available when l go on holiday again.
 
SHIRLEY (Waikanae North Island, Feb 2020 - 1 week 6 days)
Scott and Selina looked after our home and pets for just over a week. From the outset the communication was fantastic, We were able to meet up with them prior to the sit and they met with us at 6am on the morning of our departure to ensure a smooth transition for our dog. He was immediately stoked to be taken out for a walk! We were updated with pictures of what the pets were up to during our week away, including that our normally solo sleeping cat was happily curling up with them each night ... MORE
 
LIZ (Johnsonville North Island, Jan 2020 - 1 week 3 days - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Cannot recommend Scott and Selina highly enough and would not hesitate to use them again. Fantastic communication before, during and after. Dog was very happy and house and garden were immaculate on our return, Thanks so much.
 
LAURA (Woodridge North Island, Jan 2020 - 1 week)
Came home to a clean and tidy house and a happy dog. Scott and Selina are very friendly people.
 
LOUISE (Rotorua North Island, Dec 2019 - 4 weeks)
Scott and Selina are amazing sitters. Our very spoilt labradoodle was so well taken care off and the house and garden were immaculate.We cannot rate them high enough .
 
HELEN (Warkworth North Island, Oct 2019 - 5 weeks)
Scott and Selina were fantastic. We were able to enjoy our holiday knowing our dog was in great company. Communication leading up to the house sit was fantastic and we really appreciated the updates while we were away that Islay was doing great. On our return the house was immaculate and the dog happy - and we really appreciated the treats that were left. I would recommend this family without hesitation and would happily welcome them back to house sit for us again.
 
KAREN (Waitakere North Island, Sep 2019 - 2 weeks)
What fantastic house-sitters Scott, Selina and Briarna are! From our first meeting we felt comfortable with them and confident that our home and our precious pets would be in good hands, and they didn't let us down. As our initial meeting had occurred several months before our holiday, they made a point of keeping in touch periodically and getting together with us the day before we were due to leave, to spend time with us and to take our dogs out for a walk so that they (the dogs!) ... MORE
 
BARBARA (Tauranga North Island, Sep 2019 - 3 weeks)
What wonderful house sitters Selina and Scott were. They looked after the boys ( two dogs and a cat ) so well, in fact I am sure the boys are missing them. We came home to a scrupulously clean house windows, floors, frig, and everything else spotless. Even the dogs beds had been washed. Scott tended to the gardens and lawns. In fact there was nothing out of place. ( actually puts us to shame ) They even left gifts for us and the boys. John and I couldn't recommend them more highly. I am ... MORE
 
GAIL (Conifer Grove North Island, Jul 2019 - 1 month 3 weeks)
Contacting and meeting with Scott and Selina was such a breeze, coming to look after our home and animals was no mean feat, with 4 adult dogs and 4 9 week old puppies, they both took on the challenge. You will not get a better couple to put you at ease, take care of your animals and your home. I can not thank Scott and Selina enough for the great job you did albeit a short stay. I have absolutely no issues recommending or having you both back again. Thank you so very much.
 
SEAN (Pakuranga North Island, Jun 2019 - 2 days)
We recently had the pleasure of meeting Scott and Selina. They watched over our lifestyle block and tended farm animals and pets. I would like to commend them on their excellent communications throughout and the care and kindness shown to our pets, stock and home. So nice to come to home to a spotless, warm house and happy animals. Thankyou both so much. We highly recommend Scott and Selina and already trying to secure them for our next break. Thanks so much.
 
MARIA (Eketahuna North Island, Jun 2019 - 10 days)
Scott and Selina did a great job of caring for our home and animals. We felt we had left everything in safe hands and this proved to be so right. We certainly recommend them as sitters.
 
MARGARET (Waimana , May 2019 - 3 weeks)
Scott and Selina were fantastic to deal with and even more amazing as house sitters. They made us feel relaxed and we could see they were trustworthy and reliable from the start which put our minds at ease. They worked in with us to ensure they could be here to meet us and the animals before we left for overseas and made sure they were here late the evening we arrived back to hand over again and update us. Our cat was sick prior to their arrival and ended up requiring a further vet visit and ... MORE
 
ANITA & DAVE (Feilding North Island, Apr 2019 - 1 week)
Scott and Selina were amazing loving carers for our pets and home. We didn't feel anxious or worried about anything the whole time we were away. They updated me almost everyday on everything they were up to and our pets looked so loved and happy! We came home to a Welcome back pack, super happy dogs, cat and fish. The gardens were spotless and weeded which was such a nice treat as we hadn't got around to that since moving in. The lawns were perfect, everything was just amazing. I couldn't of ... MORE
 
KIMBERLY (Maungaturoto North Island, Feb 2019 - 1 month 1 week - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
These guys are great.... :) My house was tidier when I came home than when I left.... My pooches were obviously as happy as sand boys.... Would love to have them look after my lunatics any time. :)
 
SUE (Awapuni North Island, Jan 2019 - 2 weeks)
We highly recommend Scott and Selina as excellent house sitters and pet carers. We found them to have comprehensive communication before and during the stay which ensured that we felt safe leaving our treasures with them. When we came home our home was sparkling clean and our dogs content. We believe that they are trustworthy and of good character. We hope that they can come back and sit for us again!
 
MARICA (Tuakau North Island, Dec 2018 - 1 week 6 days)
