Your trustedQueenstown pet sitters

Hey there!

We're Maira and Miller - we care when you're not there. We've got this deep love for animals of all sorts. We truly believe that pets are family, and when you're away, we're here to make sure they have a blast and get all the care they need. We've been doing house and pet sitting for a while now, off and on. Loads of experience, tons of references - we're your pet's new best friends!

Why we do it?

Love

Passionate about animals, we've shared our lives with a many furry, feathered, and scaled friends.

Flexibility

We work from home, prioritising your pets well-being beyond the typical workday constraints.

Savings

We're now nurturing our dream of a place to call our own, therefore, saving to build our first home.

How we do it

We live in your home to ensure top-notch house and pet care while you're away.

Here's how we make it happen:

  • House sitting is a perfect choice for pets that prefer to stay in the comfort of their own home and routine creating a stress-free and reassuring environment during your absence.

  • Your house will be lived-in and far more secure with us than an empty home.

  • We can take on basic property maintenance tasks such as watering plants, collecting mail, and handling minor repairs.

Testimonials

Happy pets

Happy owners

“Maira and Miller looked after our home and two dogs for five weeks while we were on an extended overseas holiday. We came back to an immaculate house and two happy pets. They sent us videos and photos of the dogs and gave us complete peace of mind that everything at home was being taken care of in our absence. Would highly recommend.”

“A big thank you to Maira and Miller for housesitting for us when we were away in Europe for 5 & 1/2 weeks. We didn't have to worry about a thing whilst we were away. The animals were so well looked after that I think they were disappointed when we came home:). Maira kept us up to date with regular posts and pictures and even did a gorgeous video of their time here with the pets. So thoughtful! The house was clean and tidy and everything in its place. We would 100% have them back to housesit for us again and would recommend them for other housesits. Hopefully they won't be booked out when we need them again :)”

“Maira and Miller did an amazing job looking after our cat and dog. They kept in touch with us and sent photos to keep us in the loop. The house was clean and tidy when we came home and animals obviously didn’t miss us too much. Would happily have them house/pet sit again in the future. Thank you both!! :)”

“Maira and Miller took care of my husky dog, Ruby, for a weekend and did an awesome job! Not only did Maira&Miller give Ruby all the love and attention she needed, but they also kept me updated with pictures and messages to ease my worries while I was away. I would definitely recommend Maira&Miller for any house sitting - they’re great people and really have a way with animals.”
