Kiwi House Sitters

The largest pet & house sitting site in New Zealand

House sitting in NZ

How it Works

Every month, we help our members save a small fortune in rent and pet boarding fees. Sitters generally provide free pet care, garden care and home security in return for free accommodation.

This is the sharing economy at its simplest and smartest - and we provide a safe space to enable it. The site is secure, transparent & easy to use, backed by friendly customer support.

 
Free for owners

A year of membership costs $84, about half the price of a single night's hotel accommodation. The value is incredible & it's easy to get started.

Trusted for years

Excellent security, genuine endorsements & membership badges are just some features that help build trust between members.

The Original Pet Sitting site

We've been connecting NZ pet owners with trusted pet sitters & dog sitters for over a decade.

Pet owners mostly get a "House Sitter" to care for their pets—so we've always been a "Pet Sitting" and a "Dog Sitting" site (and a chicken sitting / horse sitting / farm sitting etc... site).

Because we've been doing this so long, we've got the experience, the security and the award-winning support to give you the very best service.

Loving, in-home care is best for your pets

Your pets feel safest and happiest in their own house, with familiar territory and routines. Ask any Vet.

Not even the best boarding facility will feel like home, and they can get very expensive. A house sitter provides loving care for your pets in their own house - for free.

If you have to leave your pets - get them a sitter.

Just want to say a big thanks. I contacted several Kiwi house sitters from your site and within 2 hours have lined up a nice couple. So fast and easy - thanks. Dawn - More Pet Owner testimonials
I had a great time in New Zealand and your website made it possible and so easy to find suitable house sits while there. Thank you for a well run, easy to use website. Debra - More House Sitter testimonials
