About
My wife and I are retired folks living in Westport, where we own our own unit, We don’t currently have any pets but have had numerous much-loved cats and dogs. My wife Anji, is a keen gardener with both outdoor and indoor plants. I am also of a practical nature and with many years maintaining our own homes.
We are attracted to house sitting as it offers the opportunity to move around NZ and see more of the country.

Before I start this review, I highly recommend Trevor and Anji as House/Dog Sitters. I would welcome them back anytime, not just to housesit but I feel like they are a part of the family now and I know the dogs would love to see them again!
I hope they have enjoyed staying here and taking care of my two dogs. I know the dogs loved being with them too. I had some peace of mind while I was away, knowing that my dogs were well looked after like they were their own.
This was a long House/dog sit from May 15th to 24th September 2025. Trevor and Anji kept in good constant contact with me via WhatsApp, sharing updates and photos with me. I was able to help them with any issues etc fairly quickly, let them know of my travel and estimated time I would be returning to the house, so they knew exactly when to expect me.
I returned to a joyous welcome and a good sniff over from my dogs once I got to my house. I could see the respect and loyalty they had to Trevor and Anji as they returned to their side while keeping any eye on me. My dogs stood between us a little confused about who their loyalties belonged to, which I don’t mind at all as it just shows how much the dogs trusted and loved Trevor and Anji.
Trevor and Anji took me for a walk through of my house and gardens, which were immaculate and I swear the place looked cleaner than how I left it! Trevor had trimmed up some of my hedges, which I am very grateful for and Anji had done some gardening. My spring bulbs look amazing, the best I’ve ever seen them in! I did not expect them to do any of this extra work, only said if you are bored or if you like to do gardening. Anji took great care of my indoor plants, even nursing a couple of ones I had killed back to life. Trevor took care of my lawn area, which was nicely mowed and tidy, and also stacked the remaining wood into the shed that was sitting out in the paddock.
I was greeted with a warm fire and full woodbox and kindling to keep me going for a few days, which was much appreciated while I acclimatize back to NZ weather. Even though it was the most beautiful and sunny day when I got home, I sure did enjoy the warmth from the fire as the sun disappeared. I also found the sneaky box of chocolates they had left behind, lol, thank you so much!

Anji and Trevor were very concientious house sitters who took their responsibilities seriously. It was the first time they had house sat and they did an excellent job. The house was clean and tidy when we got home with a lovely note and chocolates to welcome us back. The very large garden had obviously been looked after, and the watering regime had been followed. Comnunication before the house sit was great and we did not have any reservations about leaving our home in their capable hands. As expected, the Cat did her own thing!
