About me

75, Semi retired

I am semi retired. Have had a lot of experience with animals over my life time, and do love their company. Your furry family would be as if they were mine and would take good care of them.

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

What l love about house sitting is being in their environment. Also you get to meet many different personalities which l find is very interesting. That’s what makes you feel good too, when you see them happy. 🐾🐾

Hello! Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years.

I have had 2 years experience pet sitting for friends and family before beginning work as a pet sitter. Love making new furry buddies, and always want to ensure they are as happy as can be.
Pets are great companions and I look forward to meeting many new buddies!
I previously worked overseas doing live-in caring after the earthquakes, so am a trustworthy person and of good character.
I do enjoy walking, biking, reading, also doing all sorts of crafts and meeting new people. 😊

I will have my holidays or events on the calendar.
Can’t really travel too far out of Christchurch while petrol is so expensive. Though if you can contribute monies towards it, that would be most appreciated.

Jenn looked after our 3 dogs and cat for two weeks. She communicated well with us. The house was clean and tidy on return and all animals were happy. We will use Jenn again and would recommend Jenn to others
Thanks! Will see you soon.
Jen was very easy to chat to and came to meet all the fur babies before we left. We got updates whilst we were away and came home to a sparkly clean house and happy pets. Thanks again Jen

Jennifer looked after our two little dogs and our home while we were away. Thanks Jennifer for keeping the house clean and tidy, plus managing the care of our dogs. I would recommend Jennifer to others as a home and pet sitter.
Thanks Steve/Christine.
Jenn looked after our dog, cat, fish and house for two weeks while we were away. Everything was clean and tidy and pets were all happy on our return. Thanks Jenn!
Jenn was only here for 3 days, but when i returned Darcy (cat) was very happy and relaxed and obviously happy with Jenn around. Jenn kept me informed of how he was behaving and eating. I enjoyed my weekend knowing he was well cared for.
Jenn is a great house and pet sitter, with clear communication and a way with cats! She looked after my place and my cat for two weeks and proved herself trustworthy, clean and tidy. My old house has a lot of quirks and she managed them all with a smile. Rest assured your home and furry friends will be in excellent hands with Jenn.
House Security

Safe house!

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