Mayank was great! He took super good care of Carmelita and the house and gave me just the right amount of communication (I feel guilty being gone, so too much communication stresses me out). I'd be happy to have him and Marie back!
MISHELL ( New York, Aug 2024 - 2 weeks)
Marie & Mayank did a great job taking care of my home and my two kitty cats. The house was immaculate upon return and the cats were happy and well cared for. M & M stayed in good contact with me and sent me photos of the kitties enjoying pets. Highly recommend them!
EVE ( North Carolina, Jul 2024 - 3 weeks)
Marie and Mayank are amazing. I highly recommend them to sit with your pet and watch your home while you're away. Their communication, punctuality, personality, integrity, character and following instructions are top-notch, They clean up and did laundry and left my house just as good as I left it.
I hope to use them again soon.
PENNY ( North Carolina, Jun 2024 - 3 nights)
Marie and Mayank spent a month pet/plant sitting for us , and we came back to two very happy senior kitties and blooming plants. They were also super helpful in working with our new landlords to let them access the house as needed to take care of various repairs and work. Having Marie & Mayank stay with our kitties really allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our trip - and Marie gifted us a great sketch of one of our cats she did while we were gone! Thanks Marie & Mayank for all your help!

Marie and Mayank house sat for us for nearly three weeks and did a great job! Their communication is great on initial contact and they have a list of questions they’ll send you so you can tell them important info. While we were away they sent messages every 4-5 days which was perfect for us as we prefer less contact than others might. They cared for our cat ninja well (although he’s relatively low maintenance) and the house was clean and tidy when we got back so what more could you want? We ...

Fantastically fortunate to have Marie and Mayunk take care of the animals and house for us. We had a few unexpected things happen in the house that required management and communication - all unrelated to them, but they sorted and managed brilliantly. We also left them a cat with a recent cat bite abscess to medicate, and our beloved old dog who had some recent health challenges. They took such lovely care of our two boys, for which I am enormously appreciative. They kept us appraised of ...

Marie took excellent care of our little dog Kai. She sent daily photos whilst we were overseas and kept in close communication. Kai was very happy throughout their stay. I felt at ease whilst being away from home. Our house was also left in immaculate condition. We would highly recommend Marie!

Thank you so much for looking after the house so well! 🥰

MARIE & MAYANK have done an amazing job looking after our cats and guinea pigs, they left the house beautifully tidy and clean. Marie is very friendly and easy to communicate with, We would be more than happy to have MARIE & MAYANK house sit for us again next time.

They looked after our 2 dogs wonderfully. Dogs were obviously very happy and content. They were also had been well groomed - which can be a challenge with our two.
Great sitters - thanks

Awesome sitters, great communicators. You know with Marie and Mayank that you’re in experienced hands and this means you can relax and enjoy your break away, knowing your home and pets are getting the best of care.

Marie and Mayank were excellent house/cat sitters. They sent regular photos and updates while we were away (6 weeks). The cats were well looked after and very happy and contented. The house was clean and tidy on our return. I would highly recommend them.
JANE (Beach Haven North Island, Jun 2023 - 1 month 1 week)

Marie and Mayank sat house for us for 5 weeks, looking after a large property and our dear old cat. Marie communicated regularly, mowed the lawn and the house was perfect when we arrived home. In addition, both Marie and Mayank are friendly, tidy, respectful and very easy going.
I cannot recommend them enough as we will definitely use them again without hesitation. Thanks again Marie and Mayank, you were wonderful house sitters.

Marie and Mayank took great care of our home and our Cockatiel Keto while we were away. Looking after our precious little birdy as a last minute request was a huge relief - she will miss them! And managing the emergency plumbing issue with constant communication was much appreciated. House and appliances were left super clean and tidy too.
We highly recommend this lovely couple and will certainly call on them again when we next travel. Thank you Mayank and Marie.

Marie and Mayank looked after our cat Bella and our home whilst we took a short break. Marie was extremely personable and friendly and we returned to an immaculate house and a contented pet. We would have no problems recommending these two for any placements.

I am totally amazed as how caring marie and mayank are! Such a lovely couple who took care of our 4 month kitten while we went away for vacation. The house was left spotless and Lamington was very happy. As this was our first experience with cat sitting I have to say it was more than we ever expected! Thank you guys again so much.

Marie and Mayank looked after our 2 cats and house for 3 weeks in February this year. Marie sent photos of the cats nearly every day and was communicative and friendly. We came home to a spotless home which was such a bonus as soon after we had several guests arriving so it saved me a lot of work. Thank you both, I am hoping they can house sit for us again and again.

Marie and Mayank were absolutely fantastic, we're so happy we found them! They took excellent care of our cat Polly as well as the house, they left everything immaculate and tidy.
Marie's communication was great, really fast and detailed responses. Plus, we were sent pictures and updates regularly.
Would 100% recommend them, and I'd have them back any time.
Thanks again Marie and Mayank.
DANIELLE (Totaravale North Island, Jan 2023 - 1 week 5 days)

Marie totally went above and beyond the call of duty, Honestly, the house sit had every kind of snafu you could imagine: when she arrived, one of the dogs had gotten into the trash and strewn it all over the house, a kitten broke the window shade, my adult child came back early and wanted to change the dates of the stay. Marie handled every hurdle professionally and kindly. I would definitely rebook her (if she would agree to come back). Highly recommend!
RAE ( Florida, Sep 2022 - 1 week)
Marie was the perfect house and dog sitter!
She sent frequent updates and photos of the dogs and they loved her.
She was very flexible, offering to stay a day longer if needed.
And the house was immaculate when we returned! She even changed the sheets!
We will use her as much as we can, and have already asked her to come back.
Do not hesitate to have her watch your house and/ or pets!
ERIKA AND BOB ( Georgia, Aug 2022 - 11 days)
Marie and Mayank were fantastic for us!!! They have spent two and a half months house sitting and pet sitting for us. We were extremely happy to find the house very clean and our pets in a very good shape! We received regular updates with great photos and the communication was fantastic! We would use their services again without hesitation and we would like to thank them very much for their love and care for our pets! Highly recommended, thank you guys!!!

Marie and Mayank looked after our house and cats for three months and were perfect. Helped us out with things we needed done while away and kept in touch with some lovely snaps of the cats who were very happy. Thanks for your help and would definitely use again if available.

Excellent housesitters, we have a few pets, cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens and were a bit nervous about leaving them but they were all well cared for and Marie sent me regular photos and updates which was awesome. House clean and tidy on return. Thoroughly recommend them, hoping they will come again

Marie and Mayank were fantastic sitters. I was nervous as my cat can be quite wary of strangers, but they made him feel comfortable and he settled right in. Great communication and they left my place super clean and tidy. Thank you Marie and Mayank!

Amazing house sitters!
We received regular updates and photos of our dog and came home to a cleaner house than we left it.
Bonus that Chewie had his usual day time companionship with Marie working from home.
Highly recommend!

Marie and Mayank were really lovely people, and I felt really comfortable leaving them to look after my home and my 2 precious (and badly behaved) cats. They left the house absolutely spotless, and were awesome with communication. They even took lots of photos and sent them through to me during the week, and they were amazing! Two very happy cats, and one very happy owner. Thank you guys - I'll be in touch again for my next trip!

We highly recommend Marie and Mayank to house sit. We were so happy they stayed in our home and took care of Jerry our cat, we could enjoy our break without worrying.
Coming home from a camping trip to an immaculate home was delightful, thank you so much!
Highly recommended house sitters, look forward to seeing you next time.

Five star review for this couple. Great communicators, very reliable and very friendly. The pets adored them, and had obviously been very well cared for. The house was extremely well looked after and cleaned.
We felt confident in leaving to go away in vacation, and on our return found this to be more than correct. We would definitely use these two again.

Marie & Mayank looked after our house and pets beautifully while we were away. Communication was always prompt, we came back to a spotless house, and we could see from the photo updates they sent that both Gnocchi the cat and Moki the dog were very happy while we were away!
KYLA (Avondale , Jan 2021 - 3 weeks)
From Kiwi House Sitters
After our first meetings we felt confident leaving our house and precious pets in the care of Marie and Maynak while we were away and on our return we weren't disappointed. They had done a wonderful job of caring for our 2 cats on their special diet and looking after our house plants and garden. They even left us the most amazing home cooked prawn curry for our return. Yum!
I can't recommend this lovely couple highly enough and wouldn't hesitate to have them housesit for us again.

Marie and Mayank are incredible housesitters. We have two rescue cats that can be challenging due to their fear of humans, but one cat took to them right away. Both cats were happy as could be on our return and the house was tidy. They sent a few pictures of the cats throughtout the stay which was a nice bonus. I highly recommend these two as housesitters. Their easy going nature and willingness to go the extra mile makes them stand out. They even left us a cute picture on our chalk board ... MOREMarie and Mayank are incredible housesitters.

Marie & Mayank left the house cleaner than when they arrived. Outside was clean and 'leaf free' upon our return.
Zoe certainly enjoyed their company.

We came back to happy animals and a well cared for garden. Marie and Mayank communicated throughout the sit and were able to help us out for our short notice trip. I would recommend them to any pet owners and will contact them our next trip which we hope to be longer next time.

Marie & Mayank took great care of our animals and our home.
Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived back and all of our animals were happy and well cared for.
To top it all off Marie was in contact with updates while we were away and they were both very friendly when they came to meet us pre house sit.
Thanks so much team, we would love to have you stay again.

Marie and Mayank were great! Took excellent care of the house and, more importantly, wonderful care of our dog. She didn't seem to have missed us at all! Left things very clean prior to leaving including clean sheets on the line. Would 100% recommend and we'll be seeking them out for any future house sitting.

Marie and Mayank were fabulous house and pet sitters. One of our dogs is a little special and needs extra attention. They were happy to go the extra mile. They arrived on time and left the house spotless (including clean sheets and washed towels). They sent me beautiful pics everyday of my fur children and took the dogs for longer walks than we ever do. Highly recommend them both as house and animal sitters.

Marie and Mayank were great to deal with. They are Super friendly and approachable. We met with them a few times prior to our departure. Communication was great as we were updated every day while we were away and that put us at ease.

We recommend Marie and Mayank to anyone needing house and pet sitting. While away, they both stayed in contact with us regularly, gave us updates on how our pets were, and we returned home to find all the pets extremely well cared for and had clearly been given lots of love and cuddles in our absence.
Not only that, but Mayank treated us to a delicious butter chicken, teaching me a few new tricks!

Marie and mayank were wonderful sitters who quickly fitted in to our household and took great care of our dog. She is still looking going into their bedroom to see if they are still here! We especiallyoved coming home to the curry dinner.

We can't thank Marie and Mayank enough. On our return we found a tidier and cleaner house than when we left. Such a pleasure to come back to and we we can't thank them enough. We also left them with our 4 month old pup who had been exercised and well fed. He was a very happy chap on our return. The garden had been watered and every plant healthy and glowing.

Mayank did well to bond with our shy cat, Peppa. She seemed happy and content upon our return and gave us a warm welcome back - so unlike when we have had to collect her from the cattery!
Mayank and Marie are easy to communicate with and the house was tidy upon our return. Thanks guys :)

Marie and Mayank cared for our pets and home for just under a week in September. On our return we found our animals were content, happy and obviously very well loved while we were away. Marie and Mayank had great communication and gave us updates and pics while we were on holiday which made us feel reassured that ALL animals were getting the attention the needed. I would highly recommend these guys as they were very easy to talk to, friendly, they love animals and left our place spotless.

Marie and Mayank looked after our house and our dog while we were on our overseas trip. They did a great job. Even before we left we were very comfortable with having them in our house for our first use of housesitters. Ralphie, our dog, had obviously bonded well with them while we were away and the correspondence throughout our trip was great. Highly recommend them both as housesitters.
Thanks Marie and Mayank!!

What a wonderful house sitter Marie is! We arrived home to an immaculate house, sheets washed, and very happy dogs! Very impressed. Because of our flights, Marie stayed a night beforehand and after, as we got in at 11pm. It allowed us to learn about Marie, and see that the dogs loved her. Thanks so so much!
