English, experienced house sitter, living in France for 23 years. Coming to New Zealand with my French boyfriend André to celebrate my 60th birthday, explore, meet new people and care for beloved pets

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

I love house sitting for the chance to care for pets as if they were my own, discover new places like a local, and bring peace of mind to homeowners. With years of experience and a love of animals, it feels like home wherever I go.

My experience to date has been truly enjoyable and rewarding. I have been a member of TrustedHousesitters for the past two years, during which I’ve had the pleasure of forging new relationships with wonderful owners and their beloved pets, while discovering new places and different ways of living.

I have been a member of TrustedHousesitters for the past two years, during which I’ve had the pleasure of forging new relationships with wonderful owners and their beloved pets, while discovering new places and different ways of living.
I particularly love being outdoors, hiking and exploring nature, and have been fortunate to experience the outstanding beauty of the French Alps, with its wildlife, wildflowers and breathtaking landscapes. Being able to live comfortably in welcoming homes, while caring for pets and experiencing different lifestyles, has been such a joy.
Meeting new people and caring for their beloved animals is an ideal combination for me. I have experience with many different breeds of dogs and cats and genuinely enjoy getting to know each individual pet and their unique personality.
My partner André will also be joining me on this very special trip to New Zealand. He has accompanied me on many house- and pet-sitting experiences and already has plenty of experience with animals, having had cats and dogs of his own. We both share a genuine love of animals, nature and the outdoors, and are really looking forward to discovering New Zealand together, meeting new people and their beloved pets, and making this a truly special experience.
