40, Professional house sitters

Hello people's,

I live in sunny Tauranga where I have stumbled into the wonderful world of looking after peoples homes and pets. This will be my 4th year running and with that I am able to supply a multitude of references (as most of my clients are from word of mouth). All from happy clients that I have gained their trust over the years. From taking care of their little loved ones health and appearance. To maintaining properties and the grounds they reside on.

I live in sunny Tauranga where I have stumbled into the wonderful world of looking after peoples homes and pets. This will be my 4th year running and with that I am able to supply a multitude of references (as most of my clients are from word of mouth). All from happy clients that I have gained their trust over the years. From taking care of their little loved ones health and appearance. To maintaining properties and the grounds they reside on.

I Don't Smoke/vap or cook smelly food . I have an eye for detail, pride myself on my ability of cleanliness ....and to talk cat. I have also been exposed to a wide range of different breeds and their quirks over the past years.

I used to have a very high level of fitness being surrounded by Labradors and being a building until I received a back injury. Now at the end of the rehabilitating road aided by the assistance of animal therapy and a lot of dog walking. I now would like to offer my experience and services to you.

So good news for the animals as they will have a buddy to chill with and be well exercised (if needed). And owners can rest assured knowing that their property is being fully secured and kept maintained to their requirements while they area away.

Please feel free to reach out about any questions of interest you may have so I may offer some peace of mind.

Always happy to discuss further via the message format or to meet in-person at a time that suits  : )

Talk soon

We couldn’t have asked for a better house and dog sitter. Lee took such great care of our two dogs, taking them for walks at new locations and even to the dog park. His communication was great, sending lots of videos and photos of them while we were away. We got home and the house was cleaner than how we left it, indoor plants were thriving and he even left milk and eggs for us to arrive home to. Thanks again Lee, Bonnie and Bruce are looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Lee was a fantastic house sitter and we would happily have him stay again. He looked after Felix and Molly really well, making sure Felix got plenty of walks and even taking her to the beach. Communication was excellent, and we always felt happy knowing they were both being well looked after. The house was left absolutely immaculate, which was lovely to come home to. Really friendly, reliable and easy to deal with — we would definitely recommend Lee!
Lee house sat for 2 weeks while I was in UK on business. Boots (Staffy dog) was very well looked after and the house was left immaculately, from my experience I'd highly recommend Lee.

The property itself has a high finish with a magical outside fire/pizza oven area which was a novelty to utilize. (Definitely lost some hours out there.) Boots is a beautiful young Staffy thats always up for a bit of play but also happy to just sit by and hang out. Luckily there are areas close by where you can play fetch where she can really open up and show off her speed, which she will love you for. She is a well behaved and has impeccable timing for when it is dinner time. I would definitely be happy to hang out with her again. Thank you for your trust.

This was the 2nd sit Lee has done for us - Lee is amazing! Our dog Reese absolutely adores him, our cat Halle also as she keeps Lee busy with the brush 😂 It felt like Lee left our home even cleaner than we did! Lee is very friendly and personable, feels like a member of our family. Sadly this was the last time Lee will sit for us as we are returning to Christchurch (unless Lee fancies a Christchurch sit - open to the idea). Highly recommend - you'll be pleased you booked Lee.
Lee was fantastic. He cared for both our house and our dog Arlo for 7 weeks. Arlo can be tricky at times but Lee made it a priority to do a few "pre-visits" to create a bond with him before we left and had plenty of tricks up his sleeve to make the sit go smoothly. We had regular updates and photos while we were away. They went on adventures and he probably did more with him than we do ourselves (lucky Arlo was still pleased to see us when we returned). The house was left so tidy, plants ... MoreLee was fantastic. He cared for both our house and our dog Arlo for 7 weeks.

The house was left so tidy, plants alive, even the lawns were done. We would not hesitate in recommending Lee to care for your homes and your pets to allow a relaxing and stress free time away. Thanks so much Lee!

Lee looked after my dog and cat for nearly a month whilst I was overseas - and happily agreed to also look after an extra dog that I had acquired after I had confirmed the initial house sit. My animals were so well looked after, the dogs walked and video/photo updates of them having a ball on a regular basis. And he had the arduous task of laundering a bed load of washing after the cat had an "explosive" incident on the spare bed. I am sure my house was cleaner when I got home than before I ...

And he had the arduous task of laundering a bed load of washing after the cat had an "explosive" incident on the spare bed. I am sure my house was cleaner when I got home than before I left - with a fresh bottle of milk in the fridge for the 1st cuppa you always need when you get home. Highly recommend Lee if you are looking for an awesome housesitter! Thanks so much Lee!!! from myself, Chandler, Will and Charlie cat :)

Had total confidence leaving our dog with Lee. He came round a few weeks prior to meet her and see the house. He updated us a few times throughout his stay and when we got home the house was cleaner than when we left it! Happy to recommend to anyone.
Lee was an exceptional house sitter for us. He understands animals very well (he speaks both 'dog' and 'cat') and we felt very comfortable indeed having him house sit for us. Communication was excellent and we returned to a scrupulously clean home and happy animals. Thanks very much Lee. Hopefully you can sit for us again Cheers Christine & Richard

This was the first time we've left our dog Reese at home with a housesitter rather than the kennels and were apprehensive as to how it would go. Seems we had nothing to worry about as Reese had the most amazing time with Lee - lots of walks and adventures, even meeting Lee's neice, and Halle was well looked after and soft from all the brushes. Reese spent a good amount of time looking round the house - it was if she was looking for Lee :-) Our home was immaculate when we ...

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
