Respectful, tidy, animal loving couple

34, Software Developer

29, Technology Specialist

We are a couple in our late 20s and early 30s living in Wellington. We love housesitting because it combines two of the things we both really love; travelling and pets. Due to our current migratory situation we do not have pets and house sitting is a way we can enjoy the company of animals and explore new suburbs.

We have both had dogs and cats in the past. Nachi has also volunteered with the SPCA where she looked after chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs amongst others. She also attended a farm school and has experience caring for farm animals. We believe that animals are part of the family and will go above and beyond to ensure they are well looked after and don't miss their human family too much while you are away.

We have been housesitting since December 2021 and have become the biggest fans of it. We love being able to meet and spend time with many different fur-friends. Our days just wouldn't be fulfilled without some fur-company. We simply are animal people who love the opportunity to care for them while their family is away.

As well as our reviews on this site we also have excellent reviews on AirBnB and references from past landlords and housemates that we are really happy to share with you.

Wow - what can we say? Alina and Nachi looked after our house and cat Reka for almost 2 months and right from the first contact everything went super smoothly. Their communication was great, proactive and at a level that was just right for us. When we had contact we got pictures and short videos which showed just how happy Reka was. This was not a given, as Reka is a bit shy, but it is obvious that both are great cat lovers and were able to develop a really good bond with her. Alina and ... MORE
 
JEROEN AND ANKE (Wadestown North Island, Aug 2022 - 1 month 3 weeks)
Alina and Nachi were fantastic house sitters - can't recommend them highly enough. They took the time to drop by and visit in person before we left on holiday to meet our cat, Monty, and tour the house. Communication was great, we didn't worry at all over the four weeks away. We came back to a house that was cleaner than we left it, it was like no one was there at all! Really appreciate the care we received especially because we have many plants/gardens to care for in addition to the cat.
 
ERICA (Khandallah North Island, Feb 2024 - 4 weeks)
Alina and Nachi looked after our dogs and house for 10 nights this January. I can not recommend them highly enough! Their preparation for the sit was first class - they have their own questionnaire which prompts owners to provide all the necessary information, as well as providing an introductory chat and a physical handover. They also kept us well informed while we were away. We returned to relaxed and happy dogs, and an amazing clean and tidy house. We would absolutely have them back ... MORE
 
SARAH (Avalon Beach NSW, Jan 2024 - 1 week 3 nights) From Aussie House Sitters
Nachi and Alina are absolute gold! We were away for three months and not once did we worry about our fur babies or house. The communication from the outset was outstanding and while away we had regular updates with photos and videos. I feel like they became good friends! We trusted them 100% for honestly and confidentially. Our fur babies were treated like royalty and we came home to very happy boys. Our house was spotless on return (more so than when we left) - even the windows were ... MORE
 
KARYN (Pukerua Bay North Island, Aug 2023 - 3 months)
This is the first time we have had house-sitters that were not friends. We had the most wonderful experience! Nachi and Alina took great care of our house and and we returned after three months to a sparklingly clean house (and an oven so brilliant that we had to wear sun-glasses to look inside). They even made up the bed for us and left us home baking! They communicated with us regularly and were always keen to put our minds at reat that everything was ok. We woud recommend them without ...

DAVID (Churton Park North Island, May 2023 - 3 months 1 week)
Absolutely perfect! Our cat, dog, house and garden were well looked after. They went above and beyond what was needed. I would highly recommend them and hope that they are free to look after our animals every time we go away!
 
PEVELINE (Tawa North Island, Apr 2023 - 3 weeks)
Alina & Nachi looked after hour house for four nights while we were away. The house was left in a wonderful condition and Belle our cat was well behaved and well looked after. Definitely recommend Alina & Nachi for others! Mark & Kerry
 
MARK (Tawa North Island, Feb 2023 - 4 days)
Alina and Nachi are caring and reliable housesitters and we would strongly recommend them. Our two cats Orca and Cocoa are very sensitive and scared of strangers and we were impressed with how quickly they settled down and accepted Alina and Nachi. We also really appreciated the ongoing excellent communication and photos they sent of happy contented cats. The house was also very well looked after. We will be using them again!
 
JAN (Houghton Bay, Wellington North Island, Dec 2022 - 5.5 weeks)
Alina and Nachi are fantastic house sitters. Their communication was excellent along checking everything with us. The animals were super well looked after and the house was immaculate when we returned. We would definitely have them back again.
 
JILLY (Island Bay North Island, Sep 2022 - 1 week)
I can't thank enough Lina and Nachi their care of Lola while I was overseas. Lola was happy as when I came back. They are reliable, communicate well and left property well kept. I can strongly recommend them to take care of your small ones.
 
ELISENDA (Miramar North Island, Jun 2022 - 1 month 1 week)
These two were great. They looked after our home and dog perfectly I'm sure she had a great time with them. Great, easy communication. We would definitely have them again Thanks heaps!!
 
ANNA (Lower Hutt North Island, Apr 2022 - 6 days)
We have no words to describe how amazing Alina & Nachi. We were meant to move to NZ in Aug '21 when borders closed and our pets had already been sent over. Through a series of crazy events, we were lucky to find Alina & Nachi who not only did a wonderful job of dealing with stressed pets that were missing us, but went above and beyond and surprised us by setting up our house and starting the unpacking process. We had a lot of things to stress about, but they made things so much easier, and made ... MORE
 
DANIELA (Karori North Island, Mar 2022 - 2 months)
They were amazing. My plans changed and they were very flexible and supportive. My fur babies had the best time and were very well cared for. When I arrived home the place was spotless. I would highly recommend this lovely couple:)
 
SHEREE (Motueka South Island, Jan 2022 - 1 week 4 days)
Nachi and Alina were fantastic sitters. I would 100% have them back, Their communication was fantastic throughout the whole process, Monkey was well looked after and was content and happy when I returned. The house was spotless too. I would 100% recommend them as house sitters who obviously have a true love for animals.
 
SALLY (St Martins South Island, Jan 2022 - 4 days)
Nachi and Alina were wonderful to have as house sitters. We had them stay the night before we left for our travels as we were leaving very early the day after. It was a pleasure to meet them and made it easy for us to leave our fur babies in safe hands. They offered to give us updates if we wanted it and they left the house very clean and tidy. Communication was very quick and easy and I would not hesitate giving them a reference to anyone that wishes to have them sit.
 
LYN (Wallacetown South Island, Jan 2022 - 1 week 4 days)
Alina and Nachi are amazing house sitters. We could not be happier with how they looked after our animals and home. They regularly communicated and send pictures of two very contented and spoiled dogs, and of our alpacas. When the hot water cylinder leaked they confidently dealt with the problem from turning off the water to finding a local plumber who would fix it upon our approval. Nothing seemed to faze them and the house was spotless when we returned. We highly recommend them to anyone ... MORE
