favoriteWhy I love house sitting

I love exploring new towns and making new fur friends where ever I go. I love the lifestyle and flexibility of house sitting. I also get to meeting so many amazing pet owners.

Hi, I’m Rachel,

I work remotely, which means I’m around often to keep your pets company and make sure everything at home runs smoothly. I love animals, gardening, and spending time in nature, and I always treat the homes I stay in with respect and care. I am a "crazy cat lady" at heart and will probably send you a ton of photos while you're away of your pets being cute. I am also happy to care for your garden and mow the lawns if you have a lawn mover.

A bit about me: After three years caring for my mum with dementia, I’ve decided it’s time to explore more of beautiful New Zealand. So 2026 is my year to get out and change things up! I've rented out my house and Im ready to explore. I’m easy-going, reliable, and tidy. If you would like a phone call or a video chat please feel free to get in touch.

Pet care

I’m confident and comfortable with a wide range of pets. I’ve owned and cared for animals for most of my life from raising and training dogs to dealing with sick cats to even helping a cow give birth.

I’ve owned and cared for animals for most of my life from raising and training dogs to dealing with sick cats to even helping a cow give birth.

I understand how important it is to keep your animals feeling safe, loved, and well looked after while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just a cuddle on the couch, I enjoy giving animals the care and attention they deserve.

I focus on keeping things as normal and relaxed as possible while their owners are away and try and stick to their normal routine. I understand how much owners love their pets and want to make sure they can rest easy while they are away in knowing their pets have the best care.

I rode horses for about five years and am comfortable feeding, watering, and doing basic checks on them and on livestock.

Rachel looked after Tessie wonderfully and they got on well together. She ensured the house plants and garden were watered as required and the lawns were mown. My house was left lovely and tidy for my return. I received several photos while away and communication was excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rachel as a housesitter.
Rachel was a fantastic house sitter. Friendly, and with great communication, came home to a happy calm kitty and immaculate house - couldn't ask for anything more :-) Thanks Rachel!
