Marie and Mayank sat house for us for 5 weeks, looking after a large property and our dear old cat. Marie communicated regularly, mowed the lawn and the house was perfect when we arrived home. In addition, both Marie and Mayank are friendly, tidy, respectful and very easy going.
I cannot recommend them enough as we will definitely use them again without hesitation. Thanks again Marie and Mayank, you were wonderful house sitters.

Marie and Mayank house sat for us for nearly three weeks and did a great job! Their communication is great on initial contact and they have a list of questions they’ll send you so you can tell them important info. While we were away they sent messages every 4-5 days which was perfect for us as we prefer less contact than others might. They cared for our cat ninja well (although he’s relatively low maintenance) and the house was clean and tidy when we got back so what more could you want? We ...

Fantastically fortunate to have Marie and Mayunk take care of the animals and house for us. We had a few unexpected things happen in the house that required management and communication - all unrelated to them, but they sorted and managed brilliantly. We also left them a cat with a recent cat bite abscess to medicate, and our beloved old dog who had some recent health challenges. They took such lovely care of our two boys, for which I am enormously appreciative. They kept us appraised of ...

Thanks to you both. Highly recommend.

Marie took excellent care of our little dog Kai. She sent daily photos whilst we were overseas and kept in close communication. Kai was very happy throughout their stay. I felt at ease whilst being away from home. Our house was also left in immaculate condition. We would highly recommend Marie!
ASHLEIGH (Stanmore Bay North Island, Feb 2024 - 5 nights)
Our dog had an amazing time. When we got back he seemed happier. He even had been given a bath during the stay.
Thank you so much for looking after the house so well! 🥰
GEORGE (Meadowbank North Island, Jan 2024 - 1 week 4 nights)
MARIE & MAYANK have done an amazing job looking after our cats and guinea pigs, they left the house beautifully tidy and clean. Marie is very friendly and easy to communicate with, We would be more than happy to have MARIE & MAYANK house sit for us again next time.
SEBASTIEN (Sunnyvale North Island, Dec 2023 - 1 week)
They looked after our 2 dogs wonderfully. Dogs were obviously very happy and content. They were also had been well groomed - which can be a challenge with our two.
Great sitters - thanks
AUSTIN (Waiheke Island or Mt Albert North Island, Oct 2023 - 4 weeks)
Awesome sitters, great communicators. You know with Marie and Mayank that you’re in experienced hands and this means you can relax and enjoy your break away, knowing your home and pets are getting the best of care.
KARLIE (Mt Eden North Island, Sep 2023 - 2 nights)
Marie and Mayank were excellent house/cat sitters. They sent regular photos and updates while we were away (6 weeks). The cats were well looked after and very happy and contented. The house was clean and tidy on our return. I would highly recommend them.
JANE (Beach Haven North Island, Jun 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Marie and Mayank took great care of our home and our Cockatiel Keto while we were away. Looking after our precious little birdy as a last minute request was a huge relief - she will miss them! And managing the emergency plumbing issue with constant communication was much appreciated. House and appliances were left super clean and tidy too.
We highly recommend this lovely couple and will certainly call on them again when we next travel. Thank you Mayank and Marie.
GARY AND BETH (Mairangi Bay North Island, Mar 2023 - 3.5 weeks)
Marie and Mayank looked after our cat Bella and our home whilst we took a short break. Marie was extremely personable and friendly and we returned to an immaculate house and a contented pet. We would have no problems recommending these two for any placements.
DENISE (St Heliers North Island, Mar 2023 - 4 days)
I am totally amazed as how caring marie and mayank are! Such a lovely couple who took care of our 4 month kitten while we went away for vacation. The house was left spotless and Lamington was very happy. As this was our first experience with cat sitting I have to say it was more than we ever expected! Thank you guys again so much.
ZALA (Orakei North Island, Mar 2023 - 4 days)
Marie and Mayank looked after our 2 cats and house for 3 weeks in February this year. Marie sent photos of the cats nearly every day and was communicative and friendly. We came home to a spotless home which was such a bonus as soon after we had several guests arriving so it saved me a lot of work. Thank you both, I am hoping they can house sit for us again and again.
PIPPI (St Heliers North Island, Feb 2023 - 3 weeks)
Marie and Mayank were absolutely fantastic, we're so happy we found them! They took excellent care of our cat Polly as well as the house, they left everything immaculate and tidy.
Marie's communication was great, really fast and detailed responses. Plus, we were sent pictures and updates regularly.
Would 100% recommend them, and I'd have them back any time.
Thanks again Marie and Mayank.
DANIELLE (Totaravale North Island, Jan 2023 - 1 week 5 days)
Marie totally went above and beyond the call of duty, Honestly, the house sit had every kind of snafu you could imagine: when she arrived, one of the dogs had gotten into the trash and strewn it all over the house, a kitten broke the window shade, my adult child came back early and wanted to change the dates of the stay. Marie handled every hurdle professionally and kindly. I would definitely rebook her (if she would agree to come back). Highly recommend!
RAE ( Florida, Sep 2022 - 1 week)
From House Sitters America
Marie was the perfect house and dog sitter!
She sent frequent updates and photos of the dogs and they loved her.
She was very flexible, offering to stay a day longer if needed.
And the house was immaculate when we returned! She even changed the sheets!
We will use her as much as we can, and have already asked her to come back.
Do not hesitate to have her watch your house and/ or pets!

Marie and Mayank were fantastic for us!!! They have spent two and a half months house sitting and pet sitting for us. We were extremely happy to find the house very clean and our pets in a very good shape! We received regular updates with great photos and the communication was fantastic! We would use their services again without hesitation and we would like to thank them very much for their love and care for our pets! Highly recommended, thank you guys!!!
GEORGE (Auckland/Titirangi North Island, Oct 2021 - 2 months 11 days)
Marie and Mayank looked after our house and cats for three months and were perfect. Helped us out with things we needed done while away and kept in touch with some lovely snaps of the cats who were very happy. Thanks for your help and would definitely use again if available.
JOHN (Beach Haven North Island, Jul 2021 - 3 months 1 week)
Excellent housesitters, we have a few pets, cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens and were a bit nervous about leaving them but they were all well cared for and Marie sent me regular photos and updates which was awesome. House clean and tidy on return. Thoroughly recommend them, hoping they will come again
WENDY (Kawerau North Island, Jun 2021 - 4 days)
Marie and Mayank were fantastic sitters. I was nervous as my cat can be quite wary of strangers, but they made him feel comfortable and he settled right in. Great communication and they left my place super clean and tidy. Thank you Marie and Mayank!
STEPH (Onehunga North Island, May 2021 - 5 days)
Marie and Mayank did a fantastic job looking after our dogs, and our house was tidy when we got home. Great communication whilst we were away, and I'd ask them to sit for us anytime!
FLEUR (Auckland North Island, May 2021 - 1 week)
Amazing house sitters!
We received regular updates and photos of our dog and came home to a cleaner house than we left it.
Bonus that Chewie had his usual day time companionship with Marie working from home.
Highly recommend!
ANNA (Auckland North Island, Apr 2021 - 2 weeks)
Marie and Mayank were really lovely people, and I felt really comfortable leaving them to look after my home and my 2 precious (and badly behaved) cats. They left the house absolutely spotless, and were awesome with communication. They even took lots of photos and sent them through to me during the week, and they were amazing! Two very happy cats, and one very happy owner. Thank you guys - I'll be in touch again for my next trip!
DIANA (Beach Haven North Island, Apr 2021 - 9 days)
We highly recommend Marie and Mayank to house sit. We were so happy they stayed in our home and took care of Jerry our cat, we could enjoy our break without worrying.
Coming home from a camping trip to an immaculate home was delightful, thank you so much!
Highly recommended house sitters, look forward to seeing you next time.
LIZZIE (Onehunga , Apr 2021 - 5 days)
These guys were awesome to deal with. They definitely have a lot of experience with different pets and love animals. Charlie had the best time with these two and went on lots of adventures. Would happily have you both come back again!
ANNA (Addington South Island, Apr 2021 - 4 days)
Marie and Mayank were excellent communicators, friendly to deal with, dealt capably with a plumbing issue and we came home to healthy, settled animals in clean housing.
GEORGINA (Swanson North Island, Mar 2021 - 2 weeks)
Five star review for this couple. Great communicators, very reliable and very friendly. The pets adored them, and had obviously been very well cared for. The house was extremely well looked after and cleaned.
We felt confident in leaving to go away in vacation, and on our return found this to be more than correct. We would definitely use these two again.
YVONNE (Manurewa North Island, Mar 2021 - 2 weeks)
Marie and Mayank were awesome! The house was left spotless, the animals were well looked after. It was lovely to leave them in safe hands. Would definitely use them again :-)
FIONA (Mt Wellington North Island, Feb 2021 - 1 week)
Marie & Mayank looked after our house and pets beautifully while we were away. Communication was always prompt, we came back to a spotless house, and we could see from the photo updates they sent that both Gnocchi the cat and Moki the dog were very happy while we were away!
KYLA (Avondale , Jan 2021 - 3 weeks)
After our first meetings we felt confident leaving our house and precious pets in the care of Marie and Maynak while we were away and on our return we weren't disappointed. They had done a wonderful job of caring for our 2 cats on their special diet and looking after our house plants and garden. They even left us the most amazing home cooked prawn curry for our return. Yum!
I can't recommend this lovely couple highly enough and wouldn't hesitate to have them housesit for us again.
GINA (Westmere , Dec 2020 - 4 weeks)
Marie and Mayank were really good to deal with. My cat was happy and house was super clean upon arrival. I would highly recommend them for house sitting.
SOO-IN (West Harbour North Island, Dec 2020 - 2 days)
Marie and Mayank are incredible housesitters. We have two rescue cats that can be challenging due to their fear of humans, but one cat took to them right away. Both cats were happy as could be on our return and the house was tidy. They sent a few pictures of the cats throughtout the stay which was a nice bonus. I highly recommend these two as housesitters. Their easy going nature and willingness to go the extra mile makes them stand out. They even left us a cute picture on our chalk board ... MOREMarie and Mayank are incredible housesitters.

RACHEL (Greenlane North Island, Nov 2020 - 1 week 5 days)
Marie & Mayank left the house cleaner than when they arrived. Outside was clean and 'leaf free' upon our return.
Zoe certainly enjoyed their company.
Happy to recommend them as House Sitters.
OWEN & CATHERINE (Morningside North Island, Nov 2020 - 2 weeks)
We came back to happy animals and a well cared for garden. Marie and Mayank communicated throughout the sit and were able to help us out for our short notice trip. I would recommend them to any pet owners and will contact them our next trip which we hope to be longer next time.
ROBERT (Howick North Island, Nov 2020 - 3 days)
Marie & Mayank took great care of our animals and our home.
Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived back and all of our animals were happy and well cared for.
To top it all off Marie was in contact with updates while we were away and they were both very friendly when they came to meet us pre house sit.
Thanks so much team, we would love to have you stay again.
JANELLE (Otahuhu North Island, Nov 2020 - 3 days)
Marie and Mayank were great! Took excellent care of the house and, more importantly, wonderful care of our dog. She didn't seem to have missed us at all! Left things very clean prior to leaving including clean sheets on the line. Would 100% recommend and we'll be seeking them out for any future house sitting.
SCOTT (Hobsonville North Island, Oct 2020 - 1 week)
Marie and Mayank were fabulous house and pet sitters. One of our dogs is a little special and needs extra attention. They were happy to go the extra mile. They arrived on time and left the house spotless (including clean sheets and washed towels). They sent me beautiful pics everyday of my fur children and took the dogs for longer walks than we ever do. Highly recommend them both as house and animal sitters.
ELEANOR (Kohimarama , Oct 2020 - 1 week 3 days)
Marie and Mayank were very easy to communicate with and made themselves at home. All the animals were well carried for and happy. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this couple for future house sits.
TRACEYF (Wenderholm North Island, Mar 2020 - 10 Days)
Marie and Mayank were great to deal with. They are Super friendly and approachable. We met with them a few times prior to our departure. Communication was great as we were updated every day while we were away and that put us at ease. It was our first time with house sitting so naturally we were a bit nervous but it all worked out great! Thanks guys. We highly recommend this couple
SHEENAL (Auckland North Island, Mar 2020 - 2 weeks)
We recommend Marie and Mayank to anyone needing house and pet sitting. While away, they both stayed in contact with us regularly, gave us updates on how our pets were, and we returned home to find all the pets extremely well cared for and had clearly been given lots of love and cuddles in our absence.
Not only that, but Mayank treated us to a delicious butter chicken, teaching me a few new tricks!
MEGAN (Kaipara Flats North Island, Feb 2020 - 1 week)
Marie and mayank were wonderful sitters who quickly fitted in to our household and took great care of our dog. She is still looking going into their bedroom to see if they are still here! We especiallyoved coming home to the curry dinner.
Would welcome back when we next go away.
JILL (Kohimarama North Island, Feb 2020 - 5 days)
We can't thank Marie and Mayank enough. On our return we found a tidier and cleaner house than when we left. Such a pleasure to come back to and we we can't thank them enough. We also left them with our 4 month old pup who had been exercised and well fed. He was a very happy chap on our return. The garden had been watered and every plant healthy and glowing. I do hope both Marie and Mayank will be still around when we next take a break. We both would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to ... MOREWe can't thank Marie and Mayank enough.

PAUL (Ellerslie North Island, Feb 2020 - 1 week 2 days)
Marie and Mayank looked after our dog Belle, and our home wonderfully well. Dependable, trustworthy and great communicators. We would wholeheartedly recommend them and hope they can sit again sometime.
KATH (Mt Albert , Jan 2020 - 3 weeks)
Mayank did well to bond with our shy cat, Peppa. She seemed happy and content upon our return and gave us a warm welcome back - so unlike when we have had to collect her from the cattery!
Mayank and Marie are easy to communicate with and the house was tidy upon our return. Thanks guys :)
NATASHA (Henderson , Dec 2019 - 5 weeks)
Marie and Mayank are so lovely. They took such great care of Oscar and our home. When we came home the house was sparkling clean. They go the extra mile. We highly recommend them. Thank you for everything.
KERSTIN (Titirangi North Island, Sep 2019 - 3 and a half weeks)
Marie and Mayank cared for our pets and home for just under a week in September. On our return we found our animals were content, happy and obviously very well loved while we were away. Marie and Mayank had great communication and gave us updates and pics while we were on holiday which made us feel reassured that ALL animals were getting the attention the needed. I would highly recommend these guys as they were very easy to talk to, friendly, they love animals and left our place spotless.
KYLEE (Laingholm North Island, Sep 2019 - 6 days)
After speaking with Marie and Mayank I felt very comfortable leaving Buddy with them for the week. While away I received pictures of Buddy and was updated throughout the week. Communication was easy and I was welcomed back to a very clean home and a happy dog! I wouldn't hesitate to contact them again for my next holiday.
SONIA (Howick , Sep 2019 - 1 week)
We are so happy to have had Marie and Mayank come stay whilst we were away. Our dog got loads of attention and exercise and the cat was very happy too. We came home to a super clean house, and Marie was very good at keeping us updated, even sending photos of the pets We highly recommend Marie and Mayank for house sitting.
KIRSTY (Auckland North Island, Aug 2019 - 4 weeks)
Marie and Mayank looked after our house and our dog while we were on our overseas trip. They did a great job. Even before we left we were very comfortable with having them in our house for our first use of housesitters. Ralphie, our dog, had obviously bonded well with them while we were away and the correspondence throughout our trip was great. Highly recommend them both as housesitters.
Thanks Marie and Mayank!!
NICK (Green Bay North Island, Jul 2019 - 6 weeks)
Marie and Mayank were reliable and responsible house and dog sitters! They are so friendly and happy to communicate. They took great care of Muffin and she absolutely adores them. The house was cleaned from top to bottom and very well taken care of. We highly recommend them and would definitely ask them to house sit again.
SU-REN (Titirangi/New Lynn North Island, Jun 2019 - 3 weeks)
This was our first experience with Kiwi House Sitter and we found Marie who was awesome! Our dog Billie was treated to lots of walks and cuddles and the rest of our animals and house were so well looked after by Marie. I would highly recommend Marie to look after your house and wish her all the very best for her future travels.
JODEEN (Rangiora South Island, Jan 2019 - 1 week 3 days)
Marie did a great job with our house sitting, taking good care of the house as well as our cat. She was also very friendly to deal with before, during and after her stay.
JUSTINE (Queensberry South Island, Dec 2018 - 1 week 3 days)
What a wonderful house sitter Marie is! We arrived home to an immaculate house, sheets washed, and very happy dogs! Very impressed. Because of our flights, Marie stayed a night beforehand and after, as we got in at 11pm. It allowed us to learn about Marie, and see that the dogs loved her. Thanks so so much!
