About me

55, Allied Health Professional

A healthcare professional who loves to travel and help people out. Happy to do house sitting only but also love looking after your 4-legged family members as I realise how precious they are to you.

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

House sitting gives me the opportunity to live and work around New Zealand while caring for homes and pets as if they were my own. I genuinely love meeting new people, settling into different communities, and creating peace of mind for homeowners by providing reliable, respectful, and attentive care

Having house & dog sat for family & friends over the years, I have decided it's time to share my passion with others needing help. I'm single with no dependents so therefore have the freedom to plan my days/weeks as I wish. Currently in the Auckland region of New Zealand, sharing a house with my housemate, resident cat and 2x boarding dogs.

Having house & dog sat for family & friends over the years, I have decided it's time to share my passion with others needing help. I'm single with no dependents so therefore have the freedom to plan my days/weeks as I wish. Currently in the Auckland region of New Zealand, sharing a house with my housemate, resident cat and 2x boarding dogs.

As a house sitter, you can be assured that I will take excellent care of your property, living cleanly and making sure your property and belongings are secure and safe at all times. I'm happy for regular calls to make sure of your high-level confidence in my service. Of course, once you are happy, I am also keen for you to switch off and not worry about anything, giving you time to play and/or work hard during your time away!

As a pet sitter, I pride myself in the love and attention that your pet receives in your absence. I stick to any routine that you may have with them to make sure their days have as little disruption as possible and, as long as you are happy, don't mind taking them out for days full of fresh air, exercise and fun!

I look forward to hearing from you and discussing how I can help you with your future arrangements.

Pet care

I regularly look after Archie a Cavoodle & Zoe a larger mixed breed dog. Archie is fun & loves to play. He has a regular walk/feed routine but absolutely loves the beech. He has a seat that sits in the front of my vehicle and he happily jumps in as he knows he will be going on a fun adventure. Zoe ... Read moreI regularly look after Archie a Cavoodle & Zoe a larger mixed breed dog. Archie is fun & loves to play. He has a regular walk/feed routine but absolutely loves the beech. He has a seat that sits in the front of my vehicle and he happily jumps in as he knows he will be going on a fun adventure. Zoe is more placid, tends to sleep alot & can get a little down in the dumps when her owners are away. I know she sleeps on the bed with them so doing the same helps her settle at night.

I only walk dogs off the lead once I am happy with the rapport I have built with them and in large, open areas where I know it is safe to do so. If I am ever unsure of the dog or the area, I always walk on a lead to ensure safety at all times. I see your pet as my adopted pet, helping them feel loved and not left.
