favoriteWhy I love house sitting

I love taking care of peoples homes as if they were my own. I really enjoy exploring new places and living in places I wouldn’t usually get to stay in if I was just in a hotel.

I used to be a home owner and worked an office job. After travelling extensively I’m currently located in Auckland.

I have a profile on Trusted House Sitters that I’ve been using overseas.

Shayna gave me 100% peace of mind. She was exceptional with the cats who are giant kittens, skittish and high maintenance to earn their trust. She was very keen on how to win them over and kept me reassured about the progress. Cats also are raw food eaters so asking a sitter to fuss with defrosting raw meat and figuring portions etc was beyond the usual but she rose to the occasion spectacularly. She was above and beyond with looking after the house and left it much nicer than what she found ... MoreShayna gave me 100% peace of mind.

She was above and beyond with looking after the house and left it much nicer than what she found it even fixing some things. thrilled me! and communicating with the landlord. Her communication was excellent- direct, practical cheerful. I would recommend her without reservation. She has excellent executive and practical skills. Kind, smart, creative and most important great with the cats!

Shayna was a pleasure to have in our house. She devoted loads of time with the animals, daily walks and swims. When we got home the house was clean and tidy, as we left it. Would be happy to have her come back anytime. Cheers, Pam
