House Sitting in New Plymouth

“Megan did a great job taking care of our dogs, she sent pictures throughout her stay with them and it’s obvious that’s she’s a genuine dog lover! We will definitely use megan again!”

“Haley was awesome! I will definitely be using her again. She was professional, caring, and reliable. She sent us updates about our Bella while we were gone along with pictures. I felt totally comfortable leaving Bella with her.”

“We were very happy with Kaity house sitting our Min Pin. She texted us updates and our house looked just the way we left it.”

“Our dog seemed to love her. It is hard to review because the poor woman became sick right after coming to sit. Given the fact that she was sick the entire time, she was a trooper. We will have her back again.”

“Absolutely Superb! I'm extremely pleased with Davalyn, she did just what she told me she would do while I was away. My dogs seemed to love her and and she did them also. I will book again when our schedules align. Very Professional! Thank you Davalyn!”

“Janet was professional, on time and a pleasure to deal with. Our dog and cat took to her right away. We will be happy to use her again. Thank you Rover for finding people we can trust and depend on.”

About: Hello! I’ve grown up around animals of all species. My experiences through 4-H, my family, and friends have provided the opportunities needed for me to become a responsible handler. I have experience caring for brachycephalic, disabled, and geriatric dogs of all sizes. So I am competent in providing basic first aid, bandaging, and administering basic medication. I personally own two australian shepherds so high energy working breeds are not foreign to me, just let me know your dog’s favorite way to play! My experience with cats is more limited as those I have cared for in the past were fairly low maintenance. However, I am familiar with feline body language and have some experience assisting others in swaddling as a restraint for medication. I also have extensive experience caring for horses and swine, if you are in need of livestock care. I am a full time student at TVCC. My availability is restricted to MWFSS. I am free from 10am-4pm and 7pm-10pm except for class on weekdays from 1:00pm to 2:00pm. I take your pet’s safety very seriously. I know what it’s like to have escape artists and reactive pets. You can trust me to be cautious, prepared, and thorough. I always carry pepper spray on my walks and avoid other pets just in case. I am unfortunately well practiced in separating dog fights should the scenario occur.

“Richard pet/house sit for us and did an incredible job. We have domestic and farm animals and he is really comfortable with all. Communication was great.”

“Kristi was the very best animal sitter we have ever had!!! Kristi watched our two dogs, (one elderly and the other a 10 month lab), our two cats and seven chickens for 2 weeks. At our meet and greet Kristi came in and instead of sitting on the couch, she sat our floor to be at our dogs level. As she told us about herself she showed constant attentiveness to our furry animals giving lots of pets and snuggles. Kristi is a great mix of calm, confident, intuitive and intelligent. She’s very good at her attention to detail as our animals require a little more maintenance being on a raw food diet. While we were away we received almost daily updates on how the animals were doing with cute stories and pictures. Our kitties whom rarely sleep with us, found comfort sleeping beside her which says a lot! We had a bad experience before with a different animal sitter which you think would make us feel uneasy being away for so long, but honestly we never worried when Kristi was there. We KNEW our home and animals were in the best care. After we returned home I had neighbors calling me with how impressed they were telling me how they always saw her walking our pups (even when it was super cold outside). We feel like we found a gem and feel so lucky to have found Kristi. Without a doubt I highly recommend her!”

“Melisa was absolutely amazing, my fur babies loved her immediately. She sent pictures and kept me updated on them, and I came home to a very, very tidy house. I highly recommend her. She is so good with dogs.”

“What a wonderful pet lover she is! We feel so blessed she was able to take such great care of our babies! Every time we get a chance to go on vacation, we get ahold of her first to see if shes available!”

“We are so happy with Jordyn. She is amazing and provided updates and pictures everyday on our dogs. She also went above and beyond to launder the bedding she used. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her to care for our dogs in the future.”

“Valerie did a wonderful job caring for our 2 whippets age 1 and 10 for 4 days. She is responsive, friendly, mature, and takes great pics. She kept us frequently updated. Highly recommended!”

“Coral & her partner did a great job watching our house for ~10 days while we were out of town with minimal ability to keep in touch. She was quick to respond whenever I did have service with photos or updates. Pets were happy and healthy, and the house was super clean and in great shape when we got home. They even shoveled our driveway and roof while we were out, which was not expected but greatly appreciated. Would rebook :)”

About: I have had dogs since I can remember growing up. From puppies, mommas and big dogs, i’ve had them all! I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and promise to take the best care of them, so you don’t have to have a worry in the world! I would like some insight into your pup to help me make him/her more comfy in their new surroundings, just to have a smooth transition. I have dealt with momma doggies as well as puppies and huge big ones, so I think I have a good amount of experience to handle your fluffy baby! They will be happy and healthy with me, I promise you that (as well as being spoiled and having the occasional treat). Thank you in advance!

“So reliable and wonderful to work with highly recommended”

“I highly recommend Iliana as a pet caregiver. Her dedication, compassion, and attention to detail make her an exceptional caregiver for any furry friend. She goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of the pets under her care. Iliana’s reliability and genuine love for animals truly shine through in her work. Any pet would be lucky to have her as their caregiver!”

“Cassie was an amazing sitter for my pup. She was incredibly kind when I had to change the booking due to one of my dogs passing and she handled my grieving pup extremely well. Lots of pictures with a lovely update everyday to let me know how they were doing. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future! 100/10”

“Wendy was great. She kept us up to date with what was happening with our dogs and was super easy to work with.”

About: I have loved dogs ever since l was a child. We had dogs, cats, chickens you name it growing up. My husband and l have our second chug dog. Buddy gets walked every day. This is so crucial in his well being, keeping weight off and just being happy. It’s important to feed our pet at designated times, and he always knows when it’s getting close to that time! We have watched and walked our friend’s dog, and both my sons dogs when they’re gone. Let me make a new friend in your dog..l would love to help you out! I’m retired, so l am very flexible with my schedule. I can come by any day of the week any time that works for your schedule. Sometimes my husband will come with me. I am able to come over to walk, feed and make sure lil one has water. We can play fetch or whatever game he likes. I’m very dependable and l respect your property.
