We care like you do

58, Kindergarten Teacher

60, Postie

The children have left the nest, and we are looking to extend our life adventures by living in, and being a part of, new communities to gain a more in-depth sense of what it means to be a New Zealander in different parts of the country, and maybe find a place we can retire to.

We love animals and have had dogs most of our lives, along with the odd cat and tropical fish. The dogs were always part of the family and had the run of most of the house although they slept outside. Our last dog Ollie the Collie was a rescue dog and had been with us for 14 years, but sadly he passed away in March 2020.

Outside of the home, Kim enjoys cycling & sailing, We both do Yoga & Pilates to try and keep some fitness & flexibility, and we enjoy exploring the Auckland Harbour in a small runabout when we get the time.

We have been home-owners for 35 years so understand the importance of treating other peoples houses with care & respect.
Kim enjoys getting out in the garden, so is happy to look after your lawns and minor gardening needs.

Kim and Sally were a lovely couple who made us feel at ease from the moment we met them. They kept us up to date with messages and photos of our pets. They looked after them as if they were their own. The house was lovely and tidy when we returned. I will definitely be booking them again when we need to, if they are available that is, as they are a popular choice with forward bookings already confirmed. If you want to use them, you have to get in quick. Thank you Kim and Sally A++++++++
 
HAYLEY (New Windsor North Island, Jul 2021 - 4 days)
Sally and Kim stayed at our home and looked after our pet Bobby for 3 and a half weeks. We were kept informed of Bobby’s well-being and photographs were also sent on a regular basis. Bobby was extremely well cared for and was very happy and settled on our arrival home. Although we have only been home for 2 days Bobby has very happily settled back into his old routine as if we had never been away. Thank you Sally and Kim
 
GAIL (Silverdale North Island, Mar 2024 - 3 weeks)
We left home with complete confidence that our precious fur baby and home was in good hands and never had to worry or wonder how things were going. This allowed us to relax and enjoy our holiday. Sally and Kim are experienced, competent, responsive lovely people, They went the extra mile for us, stepping into our shoes in caring for Chocie. He can be anxious with strangers, but we returned to a relaxed cat who didn't appear to have missed us at all. That’s the highest praise for any ... MORE
 
SUE (Snells Beach North Island, Mar 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
Sally and Kim are an amazing, friendly couple. They took great care of our cats. Communication was superb and they kept us updated every few days with photos. It was great to know the cats were safe and being looked after. Everything in the house was perfect when we returned from our trip. They were our first house sitters and we would have them back anytime!
 
FIONA (Totaravale North Island, Feb 2024 - 1 week 6 nights)
Kim and Sally were super lovely and we got on well from the get go. Our 3 year old labradoodle was well taken care of and so was the house. They sent daily updates with photos of our boy and communication was great. They even put fresh sheets on for us as we were returning late and they didn't want us doing it when we got home. So thoughtful! They were also super flexible, asked lots of questions and genuinely cared. Highly highly recommend them. Would definitely have them again!
 
LINDAH (Birkenhead , Feb 2024 - 4 nights)
Kim and Sally were awesome house sitters! They were easy to communicate with and made great effort to get to know us a little before the sit. They sent regular updates throughout the sit, and they also went out of their way to help with taking a broken vehicle to the mechanics. We returned to a clean and tidy house, and a very lush garden. Our pets were happy and well-cared for. We will definitely use Kim a Sally for another house sit.
 
HELGA (Millwater/Silverdale North Island, Jan 2024 - 2 weeks 2 nights)
We are so so glad that we found Kim and Sally to house sit for us. This was our first use of house sitters and they are great ambassadors. What a fab team they make. Great communication and commitment from the outset. We had regular updates from them as to how things were going, and photos and videos of our pooch while we were away (which was great.) And our house was immaculate when we returned! Book them-you won't be disappointed!
 
CERI (Orewa , Nov 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Sally and Kim are reliable, experienced housesitters that we can easily recommend. They looked after our house for a little over a week, as well as our dog, cat and chickens. They maintained excellent communication throughout their stay and sent photos and updates while we were away to let us know the pets were doing fine.
 
GARETH (Riverhead North Island, Nov 2023 - 1 week 3 nights)
We loved having Sally and Kim look after our house and Bella our cat. We had great communication with them and the house was left in an immaculate condition. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone seeking a house sitter and hope to be fortunate to book them again.
 
DENISE (St Heliers North Island, Nov 2023 - 6 nights)
Kim and Sally were the perfect people to care for our beloved dog and home. We came back to a tidy house and very happy pup and all our neighbors commented on how wonderful our house sitters were! We hope to have a king house sitting relationship with Kim and sally! Thank you both! x
 
SANDRA (Arkles bay North Island, Dec 2022 - 3 weeks)
Sally and Kim were great guests. The house and Jimmy were well looked after. We'd have them back anytime :-)
 
BRENDAN (Glen Innes North Island, Nov 2022 - 4 days)
Kim and Sally were absolutely great. They are a friendly couple who know what they are doing when it comes to house sitting and have great values. They immediately connected with our giant pup,Kirby, and took care of him as if he was their own. Communication was superb and they kept us updated every other day. Everything in the house was spick and span when we returned from our trip too. They were our first house sitters and they have set the bar really high for future sitters. I highly ... MORE
 
ANDRE (Stanmore Bay North Island, Sep 2022 - 4 weeks)
AMAZING ! Sally and Kim have taken care of my puppy (8mo) while I was overseas. They kept me updated every day or two. My flight had some delay and Sally waited for me anyway I really appreciated that. My house was very clean and tidy when I got back. I recommend their service and will surely ask them again for another sitting.
 
ANAIS (Mount Roskill North Island, Jul 2022 - 1 week 1 day)
Kim and Sally were super engaging from the start, really great communication while we were away with photos of the happy animals. Both animals super relaxed when we returned and house in same condition exactly as we left . Would absolutely book these two again .
 
WENDY (Sandringham North Island, Jul 2022 - 1 week 5 days)
Fabulous couple. House immaculate. Animals extremely well loved. Hope to see Sally and Kim again lots!
 
ANNA (College Estate North Island, May 2022 - 4 days)
Sally and Kim were a safe pair of hands and keep us up to date on management of our lifestyle block. This was appreciated as we could relax and enjoy our holiday. We returned to a clean house, with washed linen pegged out on the line and milk in the fridge. We would welcome them back.
 
SHERRYN (Matakana North Island, Mar 2022 - 5 days)
Kim and Sally were amazing! Great communication and even came to meet us before the house sit. You could tell from the beginning that they love animals and were very accommodating of our dogs quirks...like needing to sleep on the bed! The house was lovely and clean on our return and we appreciated the updates throughout our time away. We definitely recommend them as trustworthy and communicative house and pet sitters.
 
MICHELLE (Taradale North Island, Oct 2021 - Six days)
Sally and Kim were fantastic. They were great with our Border Collie Ruby, even taking her to the vet to get her stitches out. They sent us pictures of her and gave us updates and took great care of the house. Even our neighbors commented how lucky she was with all the walks and attention. It was nice to come home knowing the house and pets had been cared for and it was evident in the way Ruby behaved when she was with Kim that she had been very well looked after. I highly recommend Sally and ... MORE
 
CARMEL&GARTH (Manly North Island, Jul 2021 - 5 days)
Big thanks to Kim and Sally for caring lovingly for our old border Collie who turned 15 while there and treated her to a birthday treat. They communicated regularly before and during their stay and happily stayed on extra 3 days to help us out when NZ borders were closed at last hours on our return. We will happily have them to stay again when we get to travel again. Our fish were also well looked after and home cared for. We appreciate all tgeir help and care with our old girl.
 
ANNETTE (Albany North Island, Jun 2021 - 2 weeks 4 days)
Sally and Kim, we're absolutely amazing, I would definitely recommend them 110%. We were a bit worried about who we were going to have look after our house and puppy and so happy we came across Sally and Kim, awesome couple who we felt like we had known them for years. Thank yous so much we will be in contact again :)
 
MONIQUE (Orewa North Island, May 2021 - 1 week 5 days)
Sally and Kim are wonderful sitters, they left the house immaculate and cared for our pets very well. Thanks again
 
ALISON (Hobsonville Point North Island, Apr 2021 - 1 week 1 day)
We were very pleased to have had Kim and Sally house-sit for us and look after Pepper our cat and our garden. Communication with them before and throughout the sit was prompt and helpful with regular updates. On our return we found the house spotless, the garden flourishing and Pepper happy and well fed. We very much appreciate the bread and milk they left for us. We would happily have Kim and Sally house-sit for us again.
 
KIM (Mt Albert North Island, Mar 2021 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Sally and Kim were great house sitters. Our lovely Labrador was happy and content and our home was very clean. We would definitely use Kim and Sally again if they were available.
 
SUE (Te Atatu South North Island, Mar 2021 - 1 week 3 days)
Kim and Sally sat for us in Feb/March 2021 for 1 month. I found them to be very lovely people, easy to communicate with. They looked after our precious cat Jessie with love and care. Our house was left neat and tidy when they left. Kim even waited for us to get home to hand over the keys. We where only going away for 3 weeks but due to a snap level 3 lockdown we decided to stay away another week which wouldn't have happened if Kim and Sally hadn't agreed to stay on for us. We really appreciated ... MORE

The most amazing couple. Great communication. Throughly trust worthy and attentive to pets. Even sent us videos of the dog playing which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommended and no hesitation to have them back in future.
 
LOU (Mairangi Bay North Island, Jan 2021 - 1 week 4 days)
I would highly recommend Sally and Kim. Our animals were so well looked after and daily walks for the dogs so they did not miss out on their routines. The house was spotless when we arrived home. Communication between us was great and we received photos of the dogs to reassure us they were well. I will definitely ask Sally and Kim to housesit again. Great service for going on holiday as you have peace of mind. Thank you Sally and Kim.
 
GILL (Auckland North Island, Jan 2021 - 1 week)

JUDITH (Auckland North Island, Dec 2020 - 11 days)
Thanks so much Kim and Sally for looking after Maddie so well. Loved getting the daily photos or videos of her. The house was kept nice and tidy and plants all still alive and well - thanks so much for taking such good care of Maddie and the house. Would definitely recommend Kim and Sally and ask them back for future sits.
 
JULIE (Westmere North Island, Dec 2020 - 1 week 2 days)
Kim & Sally are lovely and were fantastic housesitters. We felt comfortable and were able to go away having peace of mind that our 2 fluff ball cats were in great hands, even sent us pics and updates while we were away. When we returned the house was tidy and the cats happy. We would highly recommend them as housesitters!
 
LANA (Henderson Valley North Island, Nov 2020 - 3 days)
What a lovely couple Sally and Kim are! So friendly and warm, and great with our aging doggie and our young kids! Very easy to get along with, kept in good contact while we were away with lovely pics and video of our dog. He was happy and that is the most important thing. You can tell Sally and Kim love dogs and 'get them'; they treated our Toby like he was their own and our neighbours all told us they thought they were great. We are keen to have them back!!! Thank you, both.
 
VICKI AND JON (Kaukapakapa North Island, Sep 2020 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Kim & Sally are a very lovely couple and were fantastic housesitters. From when we first met them we felt comfortable and were able to go away having peace of mind that our 2 dogs and 2 cats were in great hands. They kept in regular contact with us and sent photos. On our return the place was very tidy. We would unreservedly recommend them to housesit and we look forward to having them housesit for us again. Thank you so much Kim & Sally ! A+++
 
SONYA (Glendene North Island, Aug 2020 - 1 week)
We were very blessed to have Sally & Kim to house sit for us. Due to Covid we had to change our dates & they were still able to house sit. We were fortunate enough to be able to meet them prior to house sitting as they passed through Napier. They arrived a day early so we were able to get to know them better (& they us) and discuss itinerary and then on arriving home we had a cuppa and they shared a video clip of Theo & the floods in Napier which happened while we were away. They kept in ... MORE

BLAIR (GREY LYNN North Island, Sep 2019 - 1 week 1 day)
Kim and Sally are incredible house sitters. They clearly enjoy being around animals and took excellent care of my cat and dog. They were careful with the property and when we returned from holiday the house was spotless. Completely trustworthy and awesome with communication. Would highly recommend them for your own house sit. Thank you Sally and Kim!
 
OLIVIA (Auckland North Island, Jul 2019 - 1 week)
Sally & Kim are great house sitters and a lovely couple They are very friendly, kind and definitely animal lovers. They looked after our two lovely cats and kept us updated all the way, through text messages and photos. Sophie and Tango are a little bit scared of new people, and sometimes it can be challenging to gain their trust. Sally & Kim are very patient and did a great job as we could see that our babies adapted to them easily. Sophie and Tango enjoyed staying with them, and we also ... MORE
 
JHON & LORENA (Silverdale North Island, Apr 2019 - 3 days)
Sally and Kim are amazing. They are friendly, kind and want to put your mind at ease while looking after your pets. I loved how they wanted to come and meet us before we confirmed. It was lovely to arrive home to a lovley clean house and happy, healthy pets. Thank you.
 
LOUISE (Hamilton East North Island, Dec 2018 - 1 week)
Sally and Kim were kind enough to help me out when I had to go away on a business trip. They were happy to come over beforehand to meet me and the animal family, and were very reliable with communication and turning up when they said they would. I know Inka got regular walks and everyone was well-fed and happy when I returned home. They even left a fresh set of sheets on the bed, which was very much appreciated as my flight was delayed and I got home late! I wouldn't hesitate to ... MORE
