The perfect house sitter

Bernd was the perfect house sitter who looked after my dog and property very well.

He is reliable and a good communicator.

Would have him looking after Roo again.

Very caring with dogs

Bernd was our house sitter from July to September 2025 for 9 weeks. He was so well looking after our Labrador Tierra and our property at the Glen in Nelson.

Bernd is a very responsible person and very caring with dogs. He sent us weekly updates and delightful videos from activities with Tierra.

He informed us immediately when a storm had uprooted two trees and a great job was done cleaning up with the help of our neighbour.

We can thoroughly recommend Bernd and he will look after your property as if it was his own.

Took excellent care of Tiki and left house spotless

 

Bernd recently looked after our house and cat, Tiki, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the care he provided.

From the start, it was clear that Tiki was in good hands as Bernd updated with regular messages and photos.

Not only did Bernd take excellent care of our cat, but he also left our home absolutely spotless.

It was so nice to return to a clean, tidy house—everything was in perfect order, as if no one had even stayed.

I would absolutely recommend Bernd for any future house/pet sitting jobs and we’d be thrilled to have him back again!

Bernd genuinely cares about animals

 

We were really happy with Bernd as our house sitter.

He took great care of our two cats, making sure they were well-fed, happy, and entertained while we were away.

Bernd kept us updated with regular messages and photos.

He left our home clean and tidy, and both cats seemed to enjoy his company.

It’s clear that Bernd genuinely cares about animals and is very reliable.

We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy house sitter!

Attentive and easy-going

 

Bernd is a lovely guy and an excellent house sitter.

He is attentive and easy-going, and he left the place tidy and clean.

Great communication before and during the sit, with a few photos.

We felt very happy leaving Buddy & Ātaahua in his care.

Ātaahua got his regular walks on the beach and was relaxed as can be when we returned.

We would love to have him back in the future and recommend him highly.
