YOUR HIGHLY TRUSTED CARER

Life & Identity Services Officer - Department of Internal Affairs

Secondary School Teacher

My name is Avia and I am married to my beautiful wife Eline. We have 3 girls. I work at the Department of Internal Affairs and my wife works from home for the Ministry of Education. We own a property ourselves and we value the importance of looking after and taking great care of other people's properties by treating them as if they were our own. We are honest and very reliable people who you can trust to look after your most valuable asset. Non drinker/non smoker.

We always love to spend the odd weekend here and there. We also enjoy going away on holidays together, especially during the school holidays, and we look forward to meeting with you. Please let me or my wife know if there is anything else you may need from us to confirm our placing as your house sitters.

Avia and Eline are amazing house sitters. They looked after our home and two cats for a week and a half over Christmas and were absolutely brilliant. Quick and excellent communication before and during the sit. Our home was immaculate when we returned home and our cats were very happy fellows. Thank you so much both, we would have absolutely no hesitation in asking you back again to sit in the future.

Elene and Avia looked after our house and Gramsci, the dog very well. In fact, I suspect the house was cleaner when we arrived home than when we left!
 
EVA (Brooklyn North Island, Sep 2023 - 2 weeks)
I can't speak highly enough of this house sitting whānau, being Avia and his family. This was our first time using a house sitter and the experience exceeded all expectations. We came home to a pristine house and a very settled family cat. One of the qualities of this family that I really appreciated was their humility and grace. They really cherished the opportunity to look after another's home and treated it as though it was a gift and an honour. It really is like having trusted family ... MORE

We couldn't have been more happy with Avia .for us this was the first time we have used a house sitter and we were a little nervous . But Avia was very communicative and put our minds at ease . We returned home to a wonderfully clean home and relaxed and happy pets . They truly went above and beyond to ensure that everything was taken care of as if it was their own . I would highly reccomned Avia to anyone considering a house sitter .

Excellent communication, very tidy - our house was sparkling when we returned. Very happy puppy. Highly recommend.
 
KIRSTEN (Maupuia North Island, Jun 2022 - 2 days)
It was so lovely to meet Avia and family. Thank you for looking after our house and animals with care while we were away. Our house was lovely and tidy when we got home, communication was easy and the animals were all in good spirits.
 
ODETTE AND ADAM (Whitby North Island, Apr 2022 - 2 weeks 3 days)
Great house sitters. Was comfortable leaving the pets and garden in their care, gave us updates and we arrived home to a tidy house. Would definitely have them again.
 
SELENA (Inglewood North Island, Jan 2022 - 3 days)
Thanks for the great review Selena. We had a lovely time in your home and loved taking care of your beautiful pets. We miss Bailey he's such a loveable dog and give Neo a hug from us.
Avia and his family took fab care of our house and our fur babies. Mojo (dog) will miss them I am sure. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Avia and family to look after your house and pets.
 
TOD (Porirua North Island, Dec 2021 - 1 week)
Thank you Tod & Michelle. It was lovely meeting you and your beautiful daughters. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our week stay! You have such a beautiful home with lots of space and in a great location. Mojo was an absolute pleasure to look after, as well as your friendly cat Leilani. Have a great ... MORE
After a bit of a mix up with arrival and departure times all went well. They were only able to look after my house and animals 7days. Fortunately I have great neighbours. The house was left clean and tidy and the animals well fed and happy. Thank you for the box of goodies you left for us all.
 
JACKIE (Cromwell South Island, Jul 2021 - 1 week 2 days)
Avia and Elise are a lovely couple and very accommodating. We felt very comfortable leaving our four legged family and house in their care and would definitely be keen to have them look after our family again. We would highly recommend Avia and Elise to others. Cheers Jude
 
JUDE (Riverstone Terraces North Island, Jul 2021 - 2 days)
Avia and Eline were easy to communicate with. They were awesome housesitters - they looked after my cat, left the house looking perfect, mowed the lawn and also did some small house repairs! I recommend them very highly.
 
SALLY (Mount cook North Island, Mar 2021 - 2 weeks 6 days)
Avia and Eline and their girls were wonderful house sitters. The pets were loved and cared for, and the house was left impeccably clean and tidy. I would thoroughly recommend them.
 
JANE (Karori North Island, Mar 2021 - 5 days)
It was so lovely meeting Peter and Jane and they have such a beautiful home. It was so spacious and the view were stunning! Their cats are so gorgeous and our girls totally loved playing with them and especially taking care of them. Thanks again for letting us housesit for you
Avia and his family were the perfect housesitters. Good communication (but only when needed) and our cat may even be a little disappointed that we're home he seemed to enjoy himself so much :) We arrived home to a beautifully tidy house. Would recommend to anyone!
 
HELEN (Chatswood/Birkenhead North Island, Dec 2020 - 3 weeks)
Avia and his wife looked after our dog and cat for three days. We came home to some very happy pets and a clean home. Excellent communication. Very friendly and there were no issues. We highly recommend Avia and his wife for housesits
 
SONJA (Crofton Downs North Island, Oct 2020 - 2)
We hit the house sitter jackpot!! Our home was well cared for while we were away and our young puppy had a wonderful time lapping up all the extra attention!! We were constantly updated during their stay, which was a nice reassurance. We came home to an immaculate home, everything restocked and our beds freshly made ready for us to relax after our break away. Unfortunately we didn't have the pleasure of meeting Avia and the whole family - hopefully next time!
 
KIRI (Christchurch South Island, Jan 2020 - 11 days)
Great family, left the house really clean and tidy. Our cat was well looked after. Thank you!
 
MARIKEN (Northland North Island, Dec 2019 - 10 days)
Avia, Eline and their three lovely daughters were wonderful house sitters and carers for our dog and chooks. They were very friendly and attentive and genuinely enjoyed the company of our dog, which was reflected in the attention she, in turn, showed toward them (after the novelty of our return quickly wore off!). The apartment was left in a very tidy condition and we would have no hesitation in recommending this warm and friendly family to anyone seeking someone to look after their house and ... MORE
 
ANDREW (Rapaura South Island, Jul 2019 - 4 days)
This lovely couple and their 3 daughters came and stayed at our house over the Easter long weekend. They met with us and our cat prior to confirming the house sit which was helpful and gave us confidence that we were leaving our pets and property in good hands. Faatufugaga and Eline took such good care of the house and pets (cat and fish). When we arrived home, the house was absolutely spotless (To be honest, it was cleaner than when we left!) Everything was perfect- floor was vacuumed and ... MORE
 
KATIE (Khandallah North Island, Apr 2019 - 4 days)
It was a pleasure to have this lovely family house sit our property. They kept in touch when issues arose and sorted them. They looked after our garden and kept it alive plus maintained our pool in pristine condition. The house was clean neat and tidy. We would recommend this family as great house sitters.

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
