Long-term sitters in Wellington

36, Student

Kia ora!

Cat: we are looking for (preferably long) house sits in Wellington which is where our work and study are based. I am a student in my final semester which finishes up in early June, and I attend campus just 3 days a week but mostly study from home. This means I am often around home to keep your animals company.

I'm an animal lover who has plenty of experience caring for animals. I spent 1.5 years living on an animal sanctuary where I took care of dogs, cats, hens, roosters, goats, sheep, pigs, cows, and more. I have also had pets on and off throughout my life including dogs and cats fostered from shelters and animal rescue organisations.

I have house sat a lot - particularly in Melbourne where I house sat frequently during 2016 - 2019. I have also been the go-to house sitter for many friends, family members, and acquaintances here in NZ and abroad over the years. Most recently Garrett and I have house sat in Wellington for the past 18 months.

Garrett is also studying full-time, but only attends campus once per week meaning that between us someone is almost always home. He is originally from New York. Like me Garrett is also an animal lover and has volunteered on an animal sanctuary working with domestic and farmed animals such as chooks, as well as having grown up with dogs.

We are respectful, reliable homebodies who will leave your house spotless, and of course take great care of your pets while you're away. We can both drive and have a car which could be used for any vet trips etc. if the need arose.

We hope to hear from you.

Cat and Garrett were brilliant house sitters. Extremely responsible and reliable, took care of the place and communicated any issues that arose. The house was spotless on my return also! They are very polite and sensible. I would thoroughly recommend them.

Absolutely outstanding sitters. Looked after our dog, cat and house amazingly and left the house cleaner than it's ever been. Thank you so much Cat & Garret. We'd have you back in a heart beat.

Cat and Garrett were amazing! I was nervous to leave the dog and house for three months, but felt immediately comfortable with Cat and Garrett, and was absolutely right to. They took care of my dog and house with great care and responsibility. The house was tidy on return and the dog content and happy. Very highly recommend!

Cat and Garrett were awesome. They looked after our house, garden, two dogs, cat and six chickens impeccably. The dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home and they even won over our sometimes snobby cat. Lost one star for not eating enough vegetables from the garden, but that's not really fair because we didn't tell them it was a condition. Our fur kids and us would welcome them back anytime!

Cat was my dream companion for my wee doggie Queenie. She had a calmness about her that radiated onto Queenie who can tend to get over-excited and anxious with new people and events. I believe she understands dogs (animals) and responds accordingly. My house was clean and wonderfully tidy when I returned. Cat responded promptly to my occasional message sent from overseas and I can honestly say I felt immediate trust in her capacity to care for my home and little Queenie on meeting her. ... MORE

Cat was a great house sitter, I came home to a lovely clean flat and a happy cat. Her communication was fast and helpful. I would have Cat as a house sitter again any time and highly recommend her.
