About me

53, Policy Specialist

Mature, caring, tidy, professional.

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

I enjoy caring for pets, quiet time to relax, and exploring beautiful locations around the region.

Kia ora,

I am an experienced and reliable house and pet sitter. I would love to meet you and your pets. In my spare time, I enjoy getting out for walks, reading, movies, light gardening, cooking, aquaerobics, yoga and river trail biking.

Please note that I work in Wellington, and cannot work from home, so I am unable to provide week day doggie day care,

Ngā mihi,

Fiona

Pet care

I have been pet sitting since June 2024, including cats, dogs, chooks, goldfish and alpacas.

This was the second time we have had Fiona house sit for us and, once again, we could not have been happier. Her communication was fantastic, sending us photos of our dog and letting us know how things were going. Our home was beautifully clean and tidy when we got home. We are so happy we found her.
Fiona is lovely and very easy to get along with. We were very happy to go away and leave our 3 girls in Fionas care. We received very cute photos of the girls, they were very happy and relaxed. Fiona also took good care of the house, nice to come home to. We would definitely have Fiona looking after our four legged family and home again and highly recommend her to others. Thanks, Jude
Felt great going away knowing that my cats were looked after and my home secure. Fiona made the effort to meet us and the cats, collect keys the day before, and sent photos and updates while we were away. She also left the house spotless :) Totally recommend Fiona
5 star rating for Fiona - we couldn't have asked for anyone better to look after our home and our dog (Meca). Fiona's communication while we were away was great and we received regular pictures of Meca - from the photos Fiona was doing a great job looking after her as it appeared we weren't been missed!!! The house itself was very well looked after and it appeared cleaner than when we left. Fiona mowed our lawns while we away which was great. We wouldn't hesitate using Fiona again and recommend ...

This housesit was truly the most epic one. Fiona and her dad Ken, not only took excellent care of our dog Chip, but cleaned the house spotless, including oven (oh yes, super deluxe) and Fiona cooked us dinner after picking us up from airport. It was a happy home coming. CHIP fell in love with Fiona, not surprisingly. It was a great house sit experience for all parties involved. I can wholeheartedly recommend Fiona as a reliable and trustworthy house sitter. Your pets will love her energy ... MoreThis housesit was truly the most epic one.

Thanks again for the lovely review! Annemieke and Rob, you are the hosts with the most, thank you for the kindness, hospitality and lovely meals. 😊
Fiona and Duane looked after our home and pets while we were away for a month. We came home to a very clean home and sweeped yard (no easy feat as I know it rained 90% of the time). Our fat cats loved them (both have experience with cats). While away, an issue did arise with 1 of our cats (these things happen when you own a pet) . It was handled by Fiona/Duane with compassion, action and communication though out. Communication during our holiday was perfect, getting photos every couple ...

Fiona and Duane are a warm, friendly and a completely reliable couple. I would have no hesitation in recommending (or engaging) their services again. Andy & Pete

I would have no hesitation in recommending Duane and Fiona. They are a lovely couple, very caring, and left the house immaculate. Fiona gave up her Saturday morning to take one cat to the vet when she was concerned about her not eating, dialling me into the appointment so I could talk to her and the vet. She also went out of her way to encourage all three to eat when they had low appetites - not sure how many times she went to the pet store to get different types of food for Harley. Lots of ...

Lots of other little things that show they pay great care and attention.

We were away for 8 weeks and this was our first home sit experience, but after meeting Fiona & Duane twice before we left we felt quite reassured that all would be well. While away we had regular communication and photo's of our dog who looked very happy and spoilt. My plants are all alive and thriving and they maintained the house as we would. We would definitely recommend them both to anyone needing a house sit and we will be using them again when needed. A lovely friendly couple.
Outstanding and reliable housesitters. Constant communication along with photos. Very caring towards our pets and observant that our puppy needed to go to the Vets. They did an amazing job keeping my Bnb business running along with their own jobs. Our home was organized and tidy inside and out when we arrived back. I highly recommend Fiona and Duane as housesitters.
Duane and Fiona were amazing - the pets were well looked after, the house was spotless and we got lots of updates the entire time we were away. We would happily have them back.
We entrusted our dog, Boomer, to Duane and Fiona, and they exceeded every expectation. Their communication was flawless, keeping us reassured with prompt updates and delightful photos. Boomer thrived under their loving, attentive care, clearly feeling safe and happy. They respected our home, kept everything clean, and followed our instructions meticulously. Duane even arrived early to care for Boomer as we left for the airport, which we deeply appreciated. True professionals and absolute gems, ...

Fiona and Duane were so easy to communicate with and made us feel at ease prior to leaving our home, cat and chickens with them. Fiona contacted us a few times, posting photos of our cat making us feel at ease and that everything was going well. We arrived home to a very clean, tidy home and happy cat and chooks. Highly recommend Fiona and Duane and will certainly have them back. We enjoyed our time away due to feeling comfortable knowing Fiona and Duane had everything under control.
Excellent house sitters - highly recommend. We came home to 3 very happy cats and a lovely clean house. When we left one of our cats had gone walkabout so we were relieved to land in Australia to a message with a picture showing she was back home and was sitting on laps having cuddles (I think Duane must be a cat whisperer).
Duane & Fiona could not have been better house sitters. They took wonderful care of our home and were absolutely perfect for our two cats. We went away for just over three weeks, and Duane & Fiona gave us frequent updates and pictures to show us that our cats were happy and safe (and having lots of fun with their new friends). We can honestly say that they left the house in better condition than when we left it too. Duane even cleared our gutters! Their communication was always ...

Their communication was always excellent, and they even were happy to come over the night before we left to acquaint themselves with the cats and the house. We would recommend Duane & Fiona to anyone, and you could not find better house sitters. Thanks again Duane & Fiona!
