Welcome to Pet and Property Services

Are you going on holiday, away on business, into Hospital or simply just have to be away from home?

If you have beloved pets,
who will care for them in the same manner you do?

We look after your pets when you're away...

Pet & Property Services Limited provide you with a unique service by supplying professional Animal Aunts (much more than just pet sitters or house sitters) who move into your home to care for your pets in your absence. Our reliable, professional and experienced Animal Aunts care for your beloved animals, in their own environment, and offer you peace of mind knowing that both the security of your home and the welfare of your pets are taken care of.


About Us

Pet & Property Services Ltd, was created after Alice Oborn had travelled repeatedly to the U.K. to work for Animal Aunts U.K. - which was founded in 1987. Alice loved working for the agency, and was most impressed with the concept of specialised animal and home care - and security - offered to discerning clients by especially trained Aunts.

On returning to N.Z. Alice created her own Agency (separate to Animal Aunts U.K.) but she uses some of the highly experienced Aunts that, like herself, had trained and worked in the U.K.

Why Our Aunts

  • All Aunts are vetted

  • Love Animals

  • Wide range of skills

  • Very high requirement standard

Our Aunts

All Aunts are vetted carefully. New Aunts, after initial contact and discussions with the Agency, are sent relevant information and a registration form. This form provides full details and information about their background and suitability, their experience with animals, and four written referees for us to write to and chat with.

We not only ask each referee to confirm the applicants honesty / skills / integrity, but also ask about anything that may make the applicant unsuitable (drink, drugs, severe financial issues, former behaviour etc). All applicants must provide a Police check before they can be considered.

We couldn't be happier with Graeme (and Bernie, and other Aunts we have used)!  Graeme understands my desire to receive some pictures of Jackson while I am away.  The house is always immaculate and G…

Angela, the Aunt, was diligent & efficient.  She took loving care of my pussy cats and left the house very tidy and clean.  All that I could have wished for.  Cheers.

Holly our dog had been walked several times a day and loved Keith, with no anxiety issues whilst he was here (she is actually very sensitive).  She actually misses him and wanted to go with him…

Everything was wonderful; we felt very confident in Alice's abilities to care for Poppy, and her daily update showed us how happy Poppy was so we did not worry about a thing and could enjoy our break…

We were very happy with Graeme looking after our house and so was Cocoa - our Cat!  He must have spoiled her rotten - letting her on his lap because she expected the same from me on my return -…

As always our boys were extremely happy - they adore Colleen & Peter.  They greet them like long lost friends each time they come.  I am sure our house is cleaner than when we leave and we are ve…

Everything was fine, thank you.  Pets were happy and well cared for.  Especially my very naughty puppy who is not always easy to look after at this stage.  Bernie was on time, and everything was left…

A massive thank you for finding not just anyone to look after Simmy but the most delightful Wendee.  Simmy was besotted as soon as they met and it was such a relief to know she was loved and well car…

Doug & Adrienne

Jim and Linda looked after Zac & Rafa so well; we could not have been happier with the care and attention they applied to both the dogs and our house.  We were apprehensive about going away…

You had set a very high bar with regards to looking after Pip previously, but I am happy to say that Sandra was wonderful too.  She provided us with pupdates during our trip and when we came home, Pi…
