Teacher

Teacher and educator and have happily done house sitting for friends enjoying the variety it offers. I'm a home owner in Napier and am confident that your pets will receive the best care.

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

I have a love for travel, meeting new people and visiting new places in particular caring for others' pets and continuing existing routines in place by the owners. I love a more peaceful, quiet life, walking and yoga with a calm ambiance.

As a home owner, I value and respect the importance of a clean and tidy home particularly where pets are living. I've had my own fur babies in the past and have always enjoyed and treasured the special bond each has offered. I now enjoy pet/house sitting for friends and thought I would broaden my options. I am a keen gardener and get a lot of pleasure either from my own or admiring others'. Happy to help with watering or looking after your garden, if needed.

I was a 5-star Superhost on Airbnb for over 8 years in my own home when I was away working or travelling.
I love life and what it offers. After living overseas as an educator, I developed great respect for others and their interesting backgrounds. I'm very house proud and will look after your home as if it is my own.

Plus I sat for another friend’s doggie, Buddy, a Bichon cross Shih Tzu, which included daily walks and specific food. At this ... Read moreI have had a variety of house sitting from budgies to cats.
