Over the years I have accumulated a pile of reviews from happy home owners. I enjoy what I do and I take a lot of pride in my work. Subsequently, many of my house sits are repeat stays. Below is the most recent feedback from home owners who hired me for the very first time. If you would like to make contact with any of these home owners in order to verify their reviews, please feel free to Contact Me and I can forward you the appropriate details. Many more reviews can be found on my profile at Kiwi House Sitters.
Graeme & Glenys – Thames (February 14th to March 1st 2025)
Craig is a brilliant house/pet sitter. While we were away for 2 weeks he looked after our house and 2 cats. One is a very friendly puss and the other usually goes and hides when a stranger is near and only comes in to get food once no-one is around. However, with Craig’s quiet mild disposition, Blue was happy to come and go while he was in the house and almost got to sit on the couch. This was a huge break through and we were delighted to have pics sent to us of both cats. We got home to find the house spotless, laundry done and put back on the bed, extra food in refrigerator and a lovely meal waiting for us. We also found he had done a massive cleanup of part of our section and kept our plants watered. This was so unexpected and we can’t thank Craig enough for everything.
Alan & Jo-Anne – Huirangi, Taranaki (January 27th to February 13th 2025)
Craig is the ultimate house sitter, his attention to detail and respect for your home is over and above. You will not be disappointed! We came home to a spotless house with everything in its place and even chocolates on the table and a new bottle of milk in the fridge. Great stock management in a very dry season with break feeding and keeping an eye on water. We were away only 2 weeks so didn’t expect the lawns mowed or chicken house cleaned out but that is what we got! Was lovely to come home and only have to unpack and do the washing. He had even washed his bedding and made the bed again. Exceptional house sitter, say yes!
Brandon & Elmie, Hamilton (January 24th to January 27th 2025)
Craig did the most amazing job! He did our gardening, cleaned our house and spent hours in the park with our dog. All out of his own initiative. Needless to say our house was better when we came home than when we left. Any person would be lucky to have Craig look after their home.
Tracey & Murray, Cambridge (January 12th to January 20th 2025)
Craig is a fantastic housesitter. We were so lucky to have him look after our place and animals. If the timing works out for future house sits we would happily have him house sit again. He communicated via email while we were away to keep us updated about our place, and went above and beyond to keep things immaculate. The cherry on the top was arriving home late at night to find dinner waiting in the fridge and treats to welcome us back. This guy has class.
Mike & Anna, Whatawhata (December 27th 2024 to January 11th 2025)
Craig is an amazing house sitter. It was lovely to come home to a tidy clean home and happy animals! He even cleaned my windows! Pepper is missing him for sure! I would happily have Craig back in a heartbeat and highly recommend him. I’ve even spoken to him about coming back next time. Thanks again Craig!
Rodney & Barbara, Te Awamutu (November 25th to December 25th 2024)
Craig was an outstanding house sitter. He took great care of our cats, including our girl who is nearly 19 and has high needs. He was extremely considerate and respectful of our house. It was left in an immaculate condition, with lawns mown. Craig sent us regular communication, including photos and videos of our cats and garden. Thank you for taking care of our pets and house, Craig. We really appreciate everything you have done for us.
Hamish & Debbie, Tamahere (September 20th to October 13th 2024)
Craig did a great job looking after our property and cats. He left the place looking great and very tidy inside. We thoroughly recommend Craig for future house sits.
Catherine & Tony, Hamilton (September 11th to September 17th 2024)
Craig was an excellent choice for a house sitter and I highly recommend him. We had an early plane to catch but he wanted to meet up before we left so he could meet our cats when they weren’t stressed by our departure. Considering this was at 4.30 am I call that pretty darn committed! When we were away Craig sent through regular updates about my cats (who are very important to me), looked after our house plants, mowed the lawns, fed our tropical fish and was prompt in all his communication. We arrived home from overseas and found the house spotless, milk in the fridge, an evening meal prepared and breakfast cereal ready for the morning. This was so nice after the flight and the long journey home late at night. I cannot recommend Craig enough!
Marina & Stefan, Te Pahu (July 1st to August 11th 2024)
When we saw the reviews, we had to try get Craig to look after our property and animals.. And he did not disappoint! What a lovely, gentle person. Took great care of our old cat (who misses him), our chickens, our house and gardens. We couldn’t be happier and will use him again. We have also recommended him to all our friends. Thanks again, Craig!
Julie & Alan, Levin (June 1st to June 30th 2024)
Craig has done a fantastic job of looking after our home and animals. We came home to find our house clean and tidy and gardens well maintained. The animals were happy and content. Communication was great during our time away. What more can you ask for? We highly recommend Craig to look after your home and animals.
Tracey & Nick, Tuakau (April 21st to May 26th 2024)
Craig did a truly amazing job of looking after our home, pets and grounds. We had various little things come up during our 6 weeks away that Craig took in his stride, sorted out and dealt with. He went above and beyond all our expectations. The communication was fantastic. We felt really confident having Craig look after things for us. Our home including our windows were spotless when we returned and there was even a meal prepared in the fridge. Thank you so much.
Diane, Cooks Beach (April 7th to April 21st 2024)
Craig is everything you could ask for in a Housesitter. Good communication and left my house and garden better than when I left it. Clean windows, mowed lawns, I wouldn’t have known he’d been if it wasn’t for the improvements. Would definitely have him housesit again, if he’s available. I would think he’s in big demand when you read his references which I can now say have been proven to be true.
