Brigit and Vincent were great. We were only away for a couple of nights but they took good care of our fur babies and even managed to settle our very nervous cat. The house was left neat and tidy.

Amazing, couldn't have wished for any better. Birgit and Vince went above any expectations. We have been very privileged to have these lovely people to care for our pets, home and garden and peace of mind while having a break. Thank you.

5 stars is not high enough for Birgit and Vince. They were just amazing! I think our dog Waffles wanted to leave with them, and they did so much, in the house and in the garden & pool & with the veges & fruit trees, we just couldn't believe it when we got home. They were both very personable, thoughtful and extremely tidy, just wonderful house sitters, we'd have them back in a flash.

Birgit and Vince are wondering house sitters. It was so lovely coming home to happy animals, and immaculate house and garden. Will happily have them back again
 
DENISE (Glentunnel South Island, Dec 2023 - 3 weeks)
Fabulous sitters! I felt confident leaving my 2 dogs with Birgit and Vincent. Came back to a spotless house and happy dogs. Highly recommend.
 
MELANIE (Chain Hills South Island, Dec 2023 - 2 weeks 1 night)
Great sitters would have them again without hesitation
 
JOHN (Lake Hawea South Island, Dec 2023 - 1 week 2 nights)
Birgit & Vincent are the quintessential 5 Star Kiwi House Sitters! We are very happy to award them a very highly recommended review. They took extra special care of our new home inside and out and did many unexpected chores. Cosmo, our rather ‘out there’ Terrier, was our larger concern and Birgit took on that challenge admirably. A fun and full training regime, fun walks and runs here there and everywhere. A huge thank you from us and Cosmo! We wish them all the very best in their future ... MORE
 
LINDY (Charteris Bay South Island, Nov 2023 - 2 weeks 5 nights)
Birgit and Vincent are wonderful housesitters and looked after our dog Louie and our chickens and kune kune pigs superbly. They are very friendly and great to communicate with and the house very clean and tidy on our return and Louie was happy. Highly recommend.
 
LINDA (West Melton South Island, Nov 2023 - 5 days)
Britte and Vincent did the most incredible job of looking after our house and garden and especially in caring for our wee Jack Russell Snoopy. Nothing was too difficult for them and we came back to a home cleaner than we have ever made it. The great thing is they intuitively knew when things needed to be done. We left a list but inevitably we omitted to tell them some things. But they found their way around our house and it looks better than when we left it. They are reliable, our dog loves ... MORE
 
ANNABEL (Darfield South Island, Aug 2023 - 9 weeks)
Birgit and Vince housesat my two greyhounds and 20 year old cat for ten days. This was not an easy gig for anyone but they came in with absolute confidence and knowledge and were happy to navigate my animals special needs. I had read the amazing reviews but they still left exceeding my already high expectations on every level. The house and garden were left better than when I trotted off on holiday. The special extra care given to my animals (TWO dog walks a day) and the heated pillow for my ... MORE
 
TAYLOR (Mairehau South Island, Aug 2023 - 10 days)
Awwwh... Taylor you are such a nice guy with great Humour. Very refreshing meeting you. Your laughter is contagious and so is the loving care for your furry Pets ;) Loved it. Take care. Birgit & Vince
Amazing, two very nice people who have taken care of our dog and home like they were their own. Roxy gained training and is a better dog for it, our home is clean and neat as pin. Nothing was too much trouble, we're still finding surprises of jobs that were been done during their stay. They love animals and people alike, great people - I am booking them in again for our next trip :)
 
SUE (Waikouaiti South Island, Jul 2023 - 18 days)
Brigit and Vince were an absolute delight to have house sitting for our farm house while we were away in Europe for 7 weeks, They kindly took us to the Airport and also picked us up on our return. They kindly took care of our cat and dog along with chickens and three ducks. Our home was well looked after with Vince also doing a couple of minor repairs and both Brigit and Vince kindly attending to our gardens,lawns and the vege garden , glasshouse were very tidy on our return. They ... MORE
 
JEFF (Gore South Island, Jun 2023 - 7 weeks)
Thank you for being so welcoming overall. Your Home, Pets and Area was fantastic. It is very special to be greeted with such friendliness. We both wish you all the Best & hopefully see you again ;)
I'm so very grateful that we found this amazing couple to care for our animals and look after the house. They did an amazing job!! Not only were our pets happy but our house was much cleaner than what we left it and there was no expectation or instruction for them to do this. My only disappointment was not catching up with them when we got home to say thanks in person and enjoy their company! Thanks heaps guys, hope to catch up another day!! Highly recommended!!
 
HALEY (Culverden South Island, Apr 2021 - 1 week 3 days)
Thank you for such a lovely Review. It was a homely Stay & marvellous Location. What a wonderful Place! Hope to see you again :)
Reading all the reviews this couple have had, it is hard to add anything more to their brilliant work they do & what wonderful people they are. We were both experiencing poor health at the time & my husband needed special treatment. It was a "God Send " To have Vince & Birgit come look after our 44 lambs & sheep. You would be extremely lucky to have them. Barbara & Pieter.
 
BARBARA (Ruby Bay / Upper Moutere South Island, Mar 2021 - 4 1/2 Weeks)
Thank you for a wonderful Time with your well behaved Flock of Sheep. They are a very friendly and loving.
This was our first experience of pet & house sitters. We couldn't have been luckier or happier. Birgit and Vincent took great care of our pet and our house. We came home to a happy dog and lovely clean house.
 
KATE (Pohara South Island, Mar 2021 - 4 days)
Thank you so much. Dora is a fabulous lovely companion. Time went so fast. Beautiful Home.
What a fabulous couple to house sit your home, nothing was a problems, clean, tidy, efficient and took wonderful care of our animals, great communication too. We felt happy and relaxed while away knowing our property was in great hands! We would recommend them totally!
 
SHARON (Ashburton South Island, Feb 2021 - 16 days)
Thank you both for the lovely Review. The Chickens listened to your advice :) Hope to see you again.
OMG! You guys are awesome!!! Pets happy, sheep happy, house happy, garden happy... me extremely happy!!! We arrived home to a sparkling house (more sparkling than when we left it), and a garden weeded and lawns mowed. We really enjoyed your company too and hope you come back again. Youve set the bar so high for our future housesitters! If there was a gold medal for housesitters it would be awarded to you.
 
GERALDINE (West Eyreton South Island, Jan 2021 - 2 weeks)
Thank you so much. Amazing. You have such a beautiful Home with Magic in the Air. Indoors and Outdoors. It was a pleasure to spend Time with cute Companions. Very happy to have met you.
We had never had house sitters in before, and were a little nervous of what to expect. We shouldn't have worried as the second we met Birgit and Vince we knew we had the right people to look after our home. They communicated with us regularly, and looked after our home as if it was their own. Our animals were so well taken care of and bonded with them straight away. On return our house was spotless which was so appreciated. We can only hope we are lucky enough to have them both back again one ... MORE

Amazing peace of mind knowing my home was in good hands
