I Love House Sitting for People
And I love looking after your pets as if they were my own.
They get the advantage of my skill base (Massage Therapy)
and I love giving them all the attention they deserve.

Hi there
My name is Jude, I am a Local Kiwi and I have had experience over the past 20 years looking after other people's homes, (be it rental or house sitting) pets and on the odd occasion businesses and I have worked at International Lodges and Spas in New Zealand as a Therapist.

My name is Jude, I am a Local Kiwi and I have had experience over the past 20 years looking after other people's homes, (be it rental or house sitting) pets and on the odd occasion businesses and I have worked at International Lodges and Spas in New Zealand as a Therapist. I have been a home owner and landlord myself and take great pride and respect when staying and caring for someone else's personal space. I have a deep respect and loving sensitivity for animals and I love their personalities and will play and give them lots of my attention. I absolutely love cats and dogs. I also grew up on a farm so other pets and animal's needs are familiar to me as well. I love pottering in a garden and will water and look after your plants.
I walk Daily so your dogs will love the out and about adventures.
I am professional (health profession) reliable, quiet living and spoken. A gentle nature really and enjoy the quieter side of life.

My preference is 4 weeks or longer term options but I will consider a shorter term especially if I am in the area.

I look forward to hearing from you
Kind regards

Jude was a great house/cat sitter. Easy to communicate with - we had a conversation before the house sit and she kept in touch throughout. I came home to a clean tidy house, happy plants and happy cats.
Jude was fantastic! I was apprehensive about this process initially as we have never had a house sitter before but after having Jude look after our fur balls and home for the past nearly 3 weeks I would absolutely have her again, in fact I would try to schedule my holidays around her availability! The house was immaculate, the gardens tidy and the animals have never been happier (in fact I think our dog wants to adopt Jude!). Jude is great at keeping in touch and gave us such peace of mind ...

Jude was amazing. She went over and above in all areas. She communicated well, the house was spotless when we arrived back and Lottie was very happy and obviously had a great time with Jude. We look forward to seeing her again soon.

We welcomed Jude bac for her second housesit for us, with open arms and she didn't disappoint. Our house was pristine when we came back. We had kept in touch while we were away so there were no surprises. We look forward to having her back next month. Highly recommend.

Jude is a great housesitter! She's experienced and knows what it's about. It's easy to communicate with her. We're looking forward to having her do more "sits" for us. Moya
Jude has been a great house sitter. She really cared for my cats and looked after the house well A real pleasure Big thanks
Jude was a great house sitter we are so grateful to her for looking after our house, and our precious dog Molly. Molly absolutely adored her. We can tell she still misses Jude. Our house on return home from our travels was impeccable just as it was when we left. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jude for house/pet sitting she was fabulous. The communication was great she visited a few times before we left so Molly got to know her which we thought was really good for her to do and it made us ...

Thanks for looking after my house/cats again Jude. Amazing job! Was such a comfort knowing my cats were well cared for. Excellent communication, with frequent updates on the cats while I was away which I really appreciated. Came home to a tidy, clean home and happy cats. Thanks again Jude 😊
I can highly recommend Jude as a house sitter. She looked after our pets as if they were here own and the house was immaculate when we returned. Thanks Jude!
We loved having Jude in our home looking after our Tosca. Tosca was happy to see us but looked sad to see Jude leave. Our home was well cared for and we were able to relax when we were away knowing Jude would communicate with us if needed. We would definitely love to have Jude house sit again.
We came home to a clean and tidy home and a very happy cat. Jude was exemplary in every way. Can’t wait for a future opportunity. Thank you so much.
Jude is a fantastic house sitter. I hope to use her to sit again. I would highly recommend her. Thanks Jude
Jude was a life saver coming in at relatively short notice and put up with a sparsely furnished house as we had moved in only a few months ago. We really appreciated the updates about our pets as it helped ease our worries about them and the house was lovely and clean when we got home. Thanks Jude!
