Ellen

I am a 72-year-old woman with dual NZ / Canadian citizenship and family in both the North and South Islands. Currently living in Canada, I am very clean and tidy, love cats and small dogs and miss New Zealand. My late husband and I had a cat for many years; she was part of our family and is much missed. I enjoy some gardening and shared in lawn mowing. Have lived in both remote places and big cities. Can provide references.

Here is an extracts from references:
"[Ellen] left my place looking better than when she moved in.
She has a very good working knowledge of maintaining a home and treats the home as her own. I would strongly recommend her as a house sitter as she is the most trustworthy and responsible tenant I have seen in my six years’ experience as a landlord."

"[Ellen] is a caring, intelligent woman who I would have absolutely total confidence in house sitting my home. Ellen’s home is spotlessly clean and orderly, warm and inviting, it is a pleasure to visit her.
My cat runs to her greet her when she comes to my home, she communicates with him, it is a lovely thing to witness."

"I have come to know [Ellen] as an honest, caring, considerate person, with whom I have entrusted a key to my own condo."
