HouseProud

56,

I am quiet, house proud, I don't smoke or drink, and I have police checks.

I have over 6 years' experience as a house sitter.

I will look after your home and lovingly care for your pets.

As I work from home, I will be around most of the time to keep your pets company and your home secure.

My expectations are typical of most housesitting agreements:

- No money changes hands.
- I provide my own food etc.
- You cover pet food, utilities and house maintenance costs.

Please feel free to contact me with questions. I look forward to talking with you.

Tira was very caring of our cat. Amber seemed happy when we returned. Communications were excellent. Our house was well maintained. Would recommend Tira to anyone.
 
JENNIFER (Paraparaumu North Island, Apr 2024 - 1 week)
Tira looked after my pets and house very well and was very clean and tidy. This was my 1st experience with Kiwi House sitters and and I was extremely happy with Tira and would love to have he back again some time in the future
 
JACQUI (Glenholme North Island, Apr 2024 - 3 nights)
Tira was a perfect sitter. Capable, honest, responsive and down to earth. I felt very relaxed leaving our cats with her for 5 days. Our senior cat has to have medication daily and Tira handled this with no fuss. We came home to a clean house which was so appreciated. I highly recommend Tira as an experienced and trustworthy house & cat sitter.
 
SARAH (Auckland North Island, Mar 2024 - 5 nights)
Excellent care by respectful couple. My home left clean and tidy, my dog was quite happy and content. I would be happy to have Tira and Dylan house and pet sit again With thanks for their care.
 
CARRIE (Ohaupo North Island, May 2022 - 4 days)
Tira & Dylan were trustworthy & reliable. 'Ollie' was really well cared for while we were away. We returned home to a sparkling clean house & a happy dog.... What more could you ask for..... We would recommend them to others in a 'Heatbeat' & would have them return without hesitation. Thanks Tira & Dylan.
 
MERRILYNN & PHIL (North Huntington North Island, Apr 2022 - 2 weeks 4 days)
It was a pleasure to meet you and thank you for taking such great care of my home and pets.
 
JENNIE (Nawton North Island, Apr 2022 - 5 days)
No rating Right from the start I was impressed with the professionalism of Tyra. She kept in touch with us regularly for updates, which she kept up during the sit. Upon our return we found a clean house and happy and well looking pets. The first thing I noticed when I walked in the house was the good and happy and calm feeling of it. I can`t describe it any other way, but I felt the house and everything in it was happy. So, thank you Tyra for looking after our place and we wish you and Dylan good ... MORE
VERENA (Hurworth North Island, Mar 2022 - 4 weeks)
You are most welcome Verena! I enjoyed my stay very much. Lots of love to Poppy and Pascha.
Review for Tira and Dylan And our first experience with housesitters. My partner and I meet Tira & Dylan prior to going overseas, and we just knew from day one they were good people, and would look after our property and animals, and they did!! We weren't planning to get stuck overseas( due to Covid ) Both Tira & Dylan were very obliging to stay on as long as it took! Both were very caring with the animals, Tira, like me, is a softie! Both excellent with communication. When we returned ... MORE
 
LOIS (Kaukapakapa North Island, Jul 2021 - 8 months)
Lovely couple, house was immaculate. Animals very well cared for much appreciated thankyou
 
SUSANNAH (Puhoi North Island, Apr 2021 - 5 days)
Tira and Dylan house sat while we were away on holiday They did a great job and we came back to a house that was left sparkling clean. They were easy to communicate with and we would be happy to use them again.
 
MALCOLM (Howick North Island, Apr 2021 - Sixteen days)
Tira and Dylan are outstanding sitters. They cared for our dog Missy like their own, making sure she was loved and well looked after while we were away. She even got two walks every day - lucky thing! Tira was a great communicator and the house was spotless when we arrived home. We felt very comfortable having them in our home and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a sitter.
 
HAYLEE (Carramar WA, Dec 2019 - 2 weeks 4 days) From Aussie House Sitters
No rating Tira is the best home sitter that we've had! Our three cats were very well cared for and our home was looked after and left in a spotless state. Tira went beyond what was necessary and made our home feel wonderful to return to. Communication was easy and prompt with Tira. I recommend Tira for home and pet sitting wholeheartedly. We will definitely be asking her to return to our home when needed :-)
DAWN (Henderson , Dec 2017)
No rating Tira house sat for us for two and a half weeks while we were overseas. We were thoroughly impressed with her, and she definitely went above and beyond while encountering many unlikely events such as the cat getting sick, and a significant storm causing damage. We have already booked her in for our next trip
MELISSA (Pahurehure North Island, Nov 2017 - 2 weeks 4 days)
No rating We enlisted Tira for a week to house-sit our house and cat. Upon skyping and meeting her, I felt very comfortable with Tira. After a long day of travel, we returned home to a cleaned, tidy home and happy cat. I have no hesitation in recommending Tira and would use her again.
PRISCILLA (Mt Eden , Nov 2017)
No rating Tira looked after our house and Princess our Burmese cat for a week. Tira is an extremely nice lady and we were completely at ease leaving her looking after our home. She sent us a few txts letting us Know Princess was OK and our house was super clean and tidy when we got home. We would definitely use Tira again.
IAN & NIKKI (Meadowbank , Oct 2017)
No rating Tira was excellent to deal with and she looked after our house and cat extremely well. It was a bonus to come home to a clean tidy house! Highly recommended.
RACHEL (Maraetai , Aug 2017)
No rating We are so incredibly happy that we found Tira. One of our cats is nervous around strangers and we were worried he would hide while we were away. Tira connected with him instantly and sent us regular updates. It made our time away from home so much less stressful. She has a wonderful calming presence and left our house perfectly clean and tidy. Basically we can't recommend her highly enough. If she has the time in her schedule to fit you in, book her in immediately! We will be telling all our ... MORE
ABBY (New Lynn , Jan 2017)
No rating Tira stayed at our house for over two months. We had never used a house-sitter before and were frankly apprehensive about the whole thing. We only met once, via Skype, before the sit but I was greatly reassured; Tira exudes quiet competence both in person and electronically! Communication was excellent throughout our long absence and I felt confident that our beloved cats were well cared for. When we returned the house was tidier than we left it and Tira had even made up the bed with clean ... MORE
ANDREA (Te Atatu South , Nov 2015)
No rating I never had the opportunity to actually meet Tira prior to her house sitting for me although we did introduce ourselves via skype and emailed to arrange details. I cannot thank Tira enough for looking after my boy Sid and our home so well. We communicated weekly while I was away, there were no problems and life went on very happily without me! It was such a relief to find someone who could slot in so easily, who respected my environment and bonded so well with Sid my cat. I cannot recommend ... MORE
SUE (New Lynn, Auckland, Oct 2015)
No rating What a Fabulous house sitter, house & cat were well attended to so much so the cat didn't even appear to have missed us on our return. We have no hesitation in rebooking Tira in the future.
YVETTE (Ohauiti, , May 2015 - 2 weeks 1 day)
No rating We had Tira look after our home and property, whilst we were away and we were thrilled at how happy our dogs, pussy cat, chookies, and sheep were when we returned. The house was absolutely spotless and everyone so very well cared for. I would happily recommend Tira to anyone considering having a house sitter... she was just fabulous! Thank you Tira.. we would have you back anytime when you are available to take care of our property and menagerie.. so grateful to you for your obvious concern ... MORE
ALDYTH (Kumeu , Apr 2015)
No rating This was our first use of a house sitter and we couldn't have been more pleased. Our cat is a people person who took to Tira wonderfully well (in fact we think he misses her as he now sleeps on the bed she used), The house was well looked after. We couldn't fault the service. I would highly recommend Tira as a house sitter.
PENNIE & ANTHONY (Huntington, North Island, Feb 2015 - 2 weeks 2 days)
No rating We found Tira through the Kiwi House Sitters web site and I have to admit it felt a bit strange to know that we had a complete stranger coming to look after our house - but we had a fantastic experience with Tira and will definitely be booking her again. She was a great communicator throughout the process and we really appreciated her calm, can-do personality. She is clearly an experienced housesitter and we felt very confident leaving our house, cat and three birds in her care. The house was ... MORE
COURTNEY (Remuera, Auckland, Jan 2015)
No rating Was lovely meeting Tira and getting the feeling that you were definitely leaving your home and pets in great hands. We were away for 17 days and not wrong with that feeling coming home to a tidy home and very happy pets! Would definitely recommend Tira!
PAM (Whakatane, Dec 2014)
No rating Tira looked after our house and two cats for us while we were overseas on holiday. We returned to an immaculate house and happy cats, who had obviously had lots of love and attention while we were away. I highly recommend her house sitting services to anyone wanting security for their home and care for their animals. We would not hesitate in having her back - and I know the cats would love to have her back too!
JULIA (Otumoetai, North Island, Oct 2014 - 2 weeks 2 days)
No rating Wow! I can't say enough to praise Tira as a housesitter. I'd recommend her to anyone. We went overseas on a family holiday for a month and she really cared for our home, leaving it super clean and tidy, well dusted and with the sheets changed. Even my copper pots were shiny like I'd never seen them! Our cat Tico was clearly well loved and given lots of love and attention by Tira. She kept in regular communication with us via email which was great; even sending us a lovely "Tico" story which my ... MORE
VICKI (Te Puna, Tauranga, Sep 2014)
No rating We were absolutely delighted to have had Tira look after our new home while we were away in August. We arrived home to find the house was in immaculate condition. Our two cats were well looked after and I think disappointed to see her go.Tira was exellent to communicate with while away and I have no hesitation in recommending her to you as a housesitter.We will certainly get her to look after our home again next time we go away.
ROGER (Tauranga, Aug 2014)
No rating We really appreciated having Tira house-sit for us in June this year when we were away on holiday. She took care of our house and our cat was well looked after too. She emailed us whenever she needed information and gave us updates on how things were going in the house. We would highly recommend Tira to house-sit and hope she would consider coming back another time.
MARK AND DI (Taupo, North Island, Jun 2014 - 3 weeks)
No rating Tira was delightful to deal with. It was a joy to come home to a perfectly clean and tidy home. She took care of my home and pussy cat beautifully. I will call on her again for sure.
JUDITH (Brookfield, North Island, Jun 2014 - 3 weeks)
No rating Can highly recommend Tira- would have her back any day
FRANCES (Mahurangi west near Puhoi North Island, Feb 2014 - 3 days)
No rating We were lucky enough to spend time with Tira before leaving for, and after returning from our holiday. We found Tira to be extremely kind, friendly and reliable. Tira took wonderful care of our big boisterous dog. It was fantastic that she could be with him during the day as he is very used to company and can be quite anxious. Our Mr Nick (dog) fell in love with her. Tira obviously has a strong rapport with animals. We appreciate the great care she took of our home. It was immaculate on our ... MORE
ANDREW (Napier, Feb 2014)
No rating Tira looked after my home, puppy, bird and garden while we were away for 11 days. She was amazing. She took exemplary care of my pup, left the place sparkling, and kept my garden alive! She was really quick to reply to texts and emails too which was a big bonus - nothing like clear communication when you're on holiday/organising your holiday. We are hoping she will come back to house sit again next time we're away, I would absolutely recommend Tira to care for your home and animals!
