Inez and Ralph are a lovely couple that takes a great responsibility in looking after your home and animals. You feel like you can trust them and have nothing to worry about when you are away on holiday. Upon arrival they took an effort to arrive earlier and made sure that we have given them all instructions to look after our nervous dog and bunnies well and they didn't disappoint. The communication was prompt and easy and when we got back the house was spotless and animals happy. We would ... MORE

Ralph and Inez did a great job with no fuss, including some little extras like tidying my kitchen drawers that I really appreciated!

It was a pleasure to meet Inez and Ralf and we feel very fortunate to have had them house sit our home while we were away. They were easy to communicate with, both clear and flexible with their plans, enjoyed our friendly cat, the house was very well cared for upon our return, I do not hesitate to recommend them as excellent house sitters, many thanks

We had such a wonderful first experience of using Kiwi House Sitters having Inez and Ralph come and look after our home. They were friendly, happy to look after our dog, puppy, kitten, 6x chooks and vege garden, and left our place looking like nobody had been here. We really appreciated the updates they sent us of how our fur babies were going. We happily recommend Inez and Ralph and would not hesitate to have them back again.

No rating Inez and Ralph looked after our house, cat and fish for 3 weeks whilst we were overseas. Everything was completely straightforward! We returned to a clean and tidy house, and happy, healthy animals. They made an effort to be in our area for a night before we left so that we could meet in person, and that they could be orientated to the house and their responsibilities. Inez proactively communicated with us during their stay to reassure us that all was well. This was another great ... MORE

No rating Inez and Ralph have been fantastic house-sitters, looking after our house and shy cat. Everything was clean, tidy and weeded, and cat was glossy and obviously well fed and looked after. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Inez and Ralph and hope they'll be around for the next time. Thank you both so much.
STEPHANIE (Motueka valley South Island, Mar 2018 - 1 week 5 days)
No rating I can highly recommend Inez and Ralph as pet and house sitters. They clearly love animals and were keen to do everything they could to fit in with my cats' routlines and idiosyncrasies. Ralph and Inez are very approachable and easy to communicate with. They happily kept in touch with me regarding with my cats' well-being whilst I was away, kept my plants watered and It was lovely to come home to a clean and tidy house. .
JAN (Stoke South Island, Feb 2018 - 3 weeks)
No rating Inez and Ralph looked after our house and cat in December 2017, for close to two weeks, over the Christmas period. I couldn't have asked for more - from initial communication to the beautiful state our home and garden was in when we got home. And a happy cat! Inez and Ralph are genuine, nice people who I am sure would take great care of any home they are entrusted with. Thanks again.
