About me

Hiya! I am currently traveling through New Zealand and would love the opportunity to help take care of your home and pets. I am dependable, considerate, and meticulously follow instructions.

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

Having the opportunity for a change in scenery while maintaining a bit of routine has been extremely gratifying. Being able to provide people with peace of mind that their homes and pets are being cared for while they are away makes me feel accomplished and content.

After graduating with my Masters of Science while working full time I decided to take a sort of gap year. I recently moved to New Zealand as I love camping and hiking and wanted to explore the vast landscapes here.

Studying and working did not afford me enough time to adequately care for a pet of my own so I have been living vicariously through my friends and family, taking any opportunity I can to spend time with their pets. Now that I am traveling far away I do not have these chances and ... Read more
After graduating with my Masters of Science while working full time I decided to take a sort of gap year. I recently moved to New Zealand as I love camping and hiking and wanted to explore the vast landscapes here.

Studying and working did not afford me enough time to adequately care for a pet of my own so I have been living vicariously through my friends and family, taking any opportunity I can to spend time with their pets. Now that I am traveling far away I do not have these chances and miss it.

I have house sat for several friends and family members looking after their gardens, cats, dogs, and even a few fish. I am able to adhere to specific routines such as feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs. For example, I followed a feeding and medication schedule for Odie - a 10 year old cat with a thyroid condition. It was very important that he received his medicine on time. I also have some experience with chickens and ducks, but am always willing to learn more. I love to provide photo updates so you can check in on your loved ones while you are away. I am excited to help out wherever I can!

I am happy to answer any questions you may have and would love the opportunity to look after your home and pets. I am so excited to be here and experience all that New Zealand has to offer.

I can't recommend Anissa enough. She took great care of both our animals and our home. We came back to the house cleaner than when we left and the animals were walked, fed, cuddled and very loved. Thank you Anissa for all your help over the week we're away, we would definitely ask her back.
Annisa was a great house sitter that took great care of our animals and had fantastic communication. We really appreciate your help. Thank you Annisa.
Anissa was very easy to deal with since the beginning. Very friendly and flexible, she kept a good communication during the whole time, sending us regular updates of our fur baby. She left the house clean and tidy and surprised us with fresh avocados picked up from a tree. Definitely recommend her.
Anissa was the most amazing house sitter! she looked after our cows, & dogs and we came home to a house cleaner than when we left! so so grateful for her! thank you so much Anissa!
Anissa was a great petsitter, reliable and easy to communicate with. I came home to a happy dog and tidy house. I highly recommend her. Thank you for looking after Adam!

The fact that this is the second time Anissa has been our house sitter speaks for itself. A pleasure - as it was before. Easy, trustworthy, reliable. All the best things you are looking for in a house sitter. Thanks again and keep in touch.
Amazing, loved having Anissa come house sit! So easy and smooth to deal with 😊
Anissa looked after our home and pets over Waitangi weekend and was absolutely wonderful. She was lovely, easy-going, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Our dog River clearly loved her, and we really appreciated the updates she sent throughout the weekend β€” it gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I would highly recommend Anissa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring house and pet sitter, and we would happily have her back again :)
Anissa house and pet sat at short notice. My cats and chickens were well cared for and house nice and tidy. I found Anissa friendly and her communication was prompt and clear. I would totally recommend her as a trusted housesitter.
Anissa was super lovely to deal with and too great care of my cat and chickens. Great communication and left my house very tidy.
Anissa was great, took great care of our needy dog, and invisible cat, which had retreated from the new dog. She communicated very well, and left the house very clean & tidy. Would absolutely recommend her for future sits.

Great - couldn't be happier with Anissa as our housesitter. Totally reliable and great communication. She looked after everything really well and was so easy to deal with. We recommend her 100%. Good luck with your travels, Anissa and I hope your job dreams work out.
Anissa was careful to find out the details of the daily routines and all the animals had clearly been well attended to when I got back. Excellent communication. Loved getting pics of everyone while I was away. Thank you Anissa. Highly recommended.
Anissa was a great housesitter and wonderful pet sitter - our Golden Retriever looked very happy and well cared for when we returned. Anissa kept us updated all the time we were away with messages and photos which were very welcome. The house also was looking great. We did appreciate Anissa sitting for us.
Anissa was a brilliant house sitter. She communicated her plans clearly, left my house in great condition and was a great buddy for Archer. Very happy to recommend her for other future sits.

Anissa has looked after our animals and house a few times now and when we found that she was available again it was a huge bonus. She looks after the house well and leaves everything very tidy. Our cat enjoys her company and the chickens are laying g well when we return. Communication is always easy and she updates regularly with pictures. We’d have no problem recommending her for future house sits.
Anissa came to stay for a 2 week house sit looking after our border collie. She was very clear and prompt with her communication, caring of our dog, respectful of our home and all of the things you would want from a house sitter to provide peace of mind while you are away. I would highly recommend Anissa to anyone, and would welcome her back to house sit for us anytime. Thanks again for leaving the house immaculate, and Ollie so well cared for.
I highly recommend Anissa as a house/pet sitter. Anissa was an absolute delight from the moment she arrived. She is a very friendly, intelligent and happy person and I felt instantly comfortable having her in my home. My animals were also clearly relaxed in her presence. Anissa did everything I asked as well as the optional tasks like putting out oranges for the waxeyes and letting me know the chickens were laying in a hidden nest, If you want someone you can trust to look after your ...

I would absolutely have her house sit for me again.

Anissa did a fantastic job of looking after Pepper. She was a very happy dog when we got back, and our home was spotless. Anissa’s communication was also excellent. Thanks for looking after Pepper so well 😊
Came home to happy, well looked after pets. Anissa left our home tidy, and even had washed her sheets. We recommend Anissa for anyone looking for a caring sitter!

Anissa did a fantastic job of looking after our house and pets. She was a prompt communicator from the start, and happy to meet up prior to the house sit which was helpful. She kept us informed during our time away and we came home to a happy, contented cat, well-watered house plants and a clean and tidy house. We would highly recommend Anissa as a house sitter.

Safe house!

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