favoriteWhy I love house sitting

What I love most about house sitting is being able to care for a home and pets in a calm, respectful way while helping owners feel relaxed when they’re away. I enjoy keeping routines, spending quiet time with pets, and knowing they are comfortable in their own environment. I also like the sense of t

Hello! My name is Roberta, and I’m a responsible, calm, and reliable house sitter currently based in Christchurch . I am a single professional and do not have any pets of my own, which allows me to give my full attention to your home and your pets.

My name is Roberta, and I’m a responsible, calm, and reliable house sitter currently based in Christchurch . I am a single professional and do not have any pets of my own, which allows me to give my full attention to your home and your pets.

I genuinely enjoy caring for animals, and I understand how important it is for them to stay in a familiar, stress-free environment while their owners are away. I’m attentive to routines such as feeding, litter cleaning, playtime, and simply keeping them company — which I know makes a big difference for their wellbeing.

I am respectful of other people’s homes and treat every place as if it were my own. I’m tidy, organized, and proactive, and I always make sure the house is left clean, secure, and well cared for. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions and providing regular updates with photos, so you can travel with peace of mind.

I work locally and have a stable routine, which means I spend plenty of time at home — perfect for pets that enjoy companionship. I’m a non-smoker, responsible, and happy to meet in person or via video call before confirming a sit.

I would love the opportunity to care for your home and pets and ensure everything is looked after with care, respect, and attention while you’re away.

Warm regards,
Roberta

Read moreI have experience caring for cats, dogs and chickens, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m calm, patient and attentive to routines, which helps pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. For dogs, I can provide daily walks, playtime, feeding, cleaning and gentle companionship. For cats, I’m comfortable with litter cleaning, feeding, brushing and giving them the space or affection they need. I also have experience looking after chickens, collecting eggs and keeping their area clean. I keep the home tidy, follow instructions carefully and communicate clearly with owners. My goal is always to make sure pets are happy, comfortable and well cared for.

Great easy housesit. Took our dog for lovely long walks and sent photo updates.
Roberta was an absolute delight to have in my home for the 2.5 weeks i was away...My cat instantly warmed to her as soon as she arrived (he doesn't always). She kept in contact and sent lovely photos showing how happy my wee boy was. I returned to a house that im not sure has ever been so clean. Would have no problem recommending this lovely woman and would welcome her back to my place. Karen
We have just returned home after a month away. Our house is lovely and tidy, just as we left it and most importantly, our pets are super happy! They have obviously been loved and cared for while we were away. Would definantly recommend Roberta.
Roberta was our house sitter / cat sitter for 3 weeks in February. We returned to an immaculate house and a happy cat, plus all plants doing well. Roberta communicated to us as required even providing a photo of our happy cat. We would thoroughly Roberta as a house sitter and would have her again whenever we need a house sitter.
