About me

personSolo

27, Worker

New in the country and passionate about animals! I have hands on experience with both cats and dogs, having pets of my own back home. Reliable, caring, and ready to look after your home and pets

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

What I love most about house sitting is the connection I build with the animals I care for, seeing them relax and trust me over time. I also enjoy taking care of a home with the same attention and respect I'd give my own space, and the sense of responsibility that comes with it

Hi, I'm Ophelia! I'm new in the country and excited to start this new chapter, both personally and professionally. I'm looking for house and pet sitting opportunities where I can offer genuine, attentive care in exchange for a place to stay.

I'm new in the country and excited to start this new chapter, both personally and professionally. I'm looking for house and pet sitting opportunities where I can offer genuine, attentive care in exchange for a place to stay.

I have real, hands on experience caring for animals, since I currently have both a dog and a cat back in my home country. I'm used to their daily routines, from feeding and walks to playtime and simply spending quality time with them. Animals have always had a huge place in my heart, and cats especially, I understand their personalities well and have never had any issues caring for one.

I'm responsible, tidy, and respectful of other people's homes. I treat every home as if it were my own, keeping it clean and secure, and I communicate regularly so owners feel completely at ease while they're away.

I'd love the chance to get to know you and your pets, feel free to reach out with any questions!

I have hands on, everyday experience caring for pets, as I currently have both a dog and a cat back in my home country. I'm very familiar with their daily routines, feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and simply spending quality time with them so they feel loved and comfortable.

I'm very familiar with their daily routines, feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and simply spending quality time with them so they feel loved and comfortable.

Animals have always had a huge place in my heart, and cats especially. I understand their personalities and needs well, and I've never had any issues or problems caring for one. I'm patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy building trust with animals, whether they're shy, independent, or very affectionate.

I treat every pet as if it were my own, making sure they stick to their normal routine and feel secure, even with a change in caregiver.

agricultureFarm experience

I don't have direct farm experience yet, but I'm a fast learner, responsible, and genuinely interested in gaining hands-on experience with farm animals and daily farm tasks. I'm happy to start with simpler responsibilities and am confident I'd adapt quickly to whatever routine the farm requires.

travelTravel plans

Relocating to New Zealand in August, based in the North of the Island where I'll work full time for the year. I'm flexible with scheduling and open to house or pet sits of any length, a few days, weeks, or longer. Happy to work around your travel dates!

Garden Maintenance

Green garden!

Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
