We are a non-smoking, retired professional couple (trustworthy and reliable). We will happily care for your pets, (cats, dogs, birds, fish, chooks, no problem but we have no experience with bigger animals eg. Horses, cattle etc). We will look after lawns, gardens, and pot plants and we have even been known to handle a paintbrush and do small handyman jobs. We can provide an Airport shuttle service to airport if required. And it goes without saying we will collect mail, answer phonecalls, take messages etc.

We are hoping we can help you out by housesitting your home/pets and taking away some of your worry/concern about your home/pets while you are away. In return you will be helping us out by letting us respect your home as if it was our own.


We have been complimented by the owners of previous housesit jobs who have been extremely pleased with the care and attention to detail we have provided.

Please give us the opportunity to look after your place so that you can have a worry-free break.

No rating Rhonda and John are lovely people - genuine, honest, caring and trustworthy. We have had them look after our house and animals on several occasions and always return home to a tidy, clean house and happy pets. They walk our dog, ensure all animals are fed and looked after and John mows the lawn, even when we ask him not to worry :) Have no hesitation in recommending these two.
SONJA (New Plymouth Central North Island, May 2018 - 1 week 2 days)
Rhonda and John were flexible enough to fit in with our changed original requested dates and did a wonderful job for us. We arrived home after a week away to find a beautiful clean house and a very happy cat, 2 dogs and 2 budgies. They walked the dogs every day which was very appreciated even though obviously the weather wasn't always as fine as we would have liked. We had no mobile phone contact as we were at Chatham Islands but we had no hesitation in knowing that if something went wrong, ... MORE
 
GLENYS AND GRAEME (Thames , Nov 2020 - 1 week)
Thankyou Glenys and Graeme for choosing us to mind your animal family and home. We were 'adopted' by the dogs from the minute we arrived. They were adorable and very easy to walk and responded well when off leads. We enjoyed the opportunity to learn about and visit areas of interest around Thames. ... MORE
Once again we had Rhonda and John, we have to give them a great review as they are a perfect couple, treat the animals as their own, and also the house with great respect. The two of them can not be faulted, we would feel confident having them look after the dogs any time, and we cannot speak highly enough about them both.

Thank you Phil and Liz. It is our aim to keep your dogs as loved as you do. They are a delight to mind. And we appreciate very much that you spoil us. We love your location and and we find your communications clear. We would recommend sitting for Phil and Liz.
Rhonda and John are amazing. They cared for our home and pets like they were their own. House was sparkling and all pets very happy and relaxed when we returned. Super professional couple excellent communication could not fault them. Will have them back again and recommend them to others:)

Thank you Annemaree. We loved being able to look after your animals in such an idyllic spot with lots of lovely walks nearby and in your lovely home. We appreciated your quick responses to our questions and we would be happy to help you out again. The dogs are adorable in their own ways. We hope ... MORE
Rhonda and John are the best sitters you can get for their commitment for your home and pet care. We came home to a lovely clean home and a very happy dog. They even checked on my elderly parents while they were here. Rhonda and John, you are most welcome to stay at anytime in the future. Thank you so much. xx
 
JUDY (Bell Block North Island, Jan 2020 - 2 weeks 4 days)
Rhonda and John can come back any time they like, as sitters or friends. Loved my happy pets, immaculate house, watered and weeded garden and, massive wonderful surprise, a clean sparkling oven. Thank you both, very, very much. Do hope you made use of the spa and practiced your dance moves in the studio!!!! Paula and Mark
 
PAULA AND MARK (NewPlymouth North Island, Jan 2019 - 1 week)
Rhonda and John were amazing house-sitters who went far beyond the call of duty during their short stay. They laboured in my garden - John even hired a weed wacker - buried a dead chicken, cared for my dogs and home as if they were their own. A lovely, warm and approachable couple I have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending them.
 
MIRANDA (New Plymouth North Island, Nov 2018 - 5 days)
Rhonda and John were the perfect house sitters and would highly recommend them for any future house sitting. The care of our house exceeded our expectations and our little dog Pheobe is still looking for them. Our house is sparkling clean and a joy to come home to.
 
MICHAEL (Hurworth North Island, Oct 2018 - 1 month 1 week)
Rhonda and John they are highly recommended from us. We have had them look after the house and animals two times and when we got home the house was immaculate and the animals were all happy and now are dictating to us that we need to walk them as long as Rhonda and John do. A fantastic couple. We have just been lucky to have them house sit again for 3 weeks April - May 2019.

No rating Rhonda and John did a wonderful job of looking after our house,it looked so clean and comfortable on our return with fresh flowers in the vases and extended their wonderful care to looking after our cat with lots of cuddles and lap time. They even took us to the airport to catch our flights . Thank you would have no hesitation in recommending you or having you back .
