Adam*

37, Writer

Kia Ora,

My name is Adam, and I am a self-employed sportswriter and broadcaster in Wellington.

I am a non-smoker, enjoy walking and exercising and anything that involves sports. My work gives me the ability to work from home often. When I am not working, I like to travel, read, and enjoy music.

I have had a wide variety of house-sitting experiences and have owned pets of my own, including Oliver pictured above. I enjoy looking after people's pets but with my work, I am not able to commit to one of my own just yet.

I am happy to look after your garden, house, and animals whilst you are away. I am available for short and long-term sits and am happy to meet people/pets before booking sits.

I am responsible, clean, and tidy and will treat your home/animals with respect and care. I always enjoy sending pictures of animals to their owners when away as well.

I am vaccinated against COVID-19.

Please ask any questions and I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Adam

Adam recently looked after our house and dogs. He was super friendly, very responsive to messages and kept us updated about the girls. We definitely recommend him and hopefully can have him stay again in the future. Thank you :-) woof, woof from Bella & Luna

Adam is a lovely guy and he took great care of our pad and our pooch. We’d happily have him stay again.
 
MATT (Grey Lynn North Island, Jan 2024 - 2 nights)
It was great to have Adam back again as he already knew the animals and the house so we felt confident they were in safe caring hands . Good communication and animals loved him.. Clean tidy house to come home to with lawns mowed. More than happy to have you again in the future. Good luck on your travels Adam.

We were so lucky to find Adam to take care of our dog! He was excellent at emails and communication. He took excellent care of our dog with many great walks and sent updates. And he kept the house very tidy and clean when we returned. He is easy and relaxed to deal with. I hope that he is free the next time we are away and he would be our first choice.
 
NICOLE (St Heliers North Island, Sep 2023 - 2 weeks 1 night)
We returned home after a quite lengthy trip of over six weeks to find one very happy dog. Beau and Adam had obviously forged a strong bond; our pooch was well cared for and well loved. While we were away, Adam instinctively knew the right amount of photo updates to share to keep us informed but not overwhelmed. Adam proved to be a perfect fit for us all, We hope he might come again.
 
MARGIE (Epsom North Island, Jul 2023 - Six weeks)
Great communication & really appreciated the lawns being mowed. Riley was well looked after.
 
LISA (Glen Eden North Island, Oct 2022 - 2 weeks 5 days)
Adam looked after our wee dog for 3.5weeks - she's quite energetic which I'm sure would have had it's moments but Adam seemed happy to entertain her and enjoy her company! We appreciated the updates and pictures, and the clean house and washed sheets when we got home. Thanks Adam and sorry for the slow review!
 
LOUISE (Wilton North Island, Sep 2022 - 3.5 weeks)
Thanks for looking after my fur babies once again Adam. . Adam is great with the fur babies, awesome communication, regularly sent photos and updates. Really appreciated it. Sorry for late review I thought I had posted it.
 
HELEN (Waikanae Beach North Island, Apr 2022 - 10 nights)
Adam left the house very tidy, it was so nice to come home to the sheets washed! Our boy Rupert was very happy too - would definitely recommend Adam to housesit for you

CINDY&TONY (Edgecumbe North Island, Mar 2022 - 1 week 3 days)
We appreciated Adam looking after our property and the care he showed to Jake and Mindy. It was obvious he had a way with animals and they liked him straight away. Adam had a friendly personality and communicated well. We would recommend him to look after your pets and property.

Lovely to meet Adam before the sit. We were very happy to leave Zach and our house in his capable hands. Thanks so much, Adam. We came home to a happy dog and happy, cared for house

Adam is such a lovely guy, and Louie took to him straightaway. My house and Louie were well cared for. I would highly recommend him to others, and would absolutely have him back. Thanks so much Adam!!!!
 
ANNE (Waiwhetu, Lower Hutt , Jun 2021 - 8 nights)
Another good sit from Adam, thank you. The dogs are clearly very calm and happy with you, which is very important to us.
 
TONY AND JENNY (Island Bay North Island, May 2021 - 1 week - 1 of 3 endorsements from this owner )
Wow! We couldn't recommend Adam highly enough. He got on really well with our dog Nova, the house was spotless when we returned - all dishes and washing done - and all of the other 'life' stuff (bins, etc) sorted. A big thank you to Adam for looking after our house and fur baby so perfectly, and we'll definitely be hitting Adam up the next time we need a housesitter.
 
JAKE (Upper Hutt North Island, Apr 2021 - 1 week)
Another good sit from Adam, just a time he's booked already for our next time away. The dogs love him, and he's a nice guy, interesting too.
 
TONY AND JENNY (Island Bay North Island, Jan 2021 - 8 days - 2 of 3 endorsements from this owner )
Our animals were happy and healthy in Adam's care, which was our main priority. It would have been good to come back to a cleaner home but overall we would be happy to have Adam back again.
 
AMANDA (Alicetown North Island, Nov 2020 - 1 week)
Very helpful for a long stretch at such short notice. Took great care of the cat.

Totally recommend Adam. Reliable and a great communicator. Or darling cats were so well looked after! And house was exactly as c we left it!
 
KRISTINE (fairfield , Oct 2020 - 5 days)
Adam took great care of the cats and the house was tidy and sheets etc washed on return. He was happy to let me know how things were going when I checked in and gave me a great rundown of where things were at when he left. Very happy with Adam's housesit.
 
TRACEY (Te Aro North Island, Aug 2020 - 4 days)
No rating Thanks Adam, a great sit. The dogs will be very happy to see you again, and tell me I must be more careful when I put dates on the ad. Jen and I will be happy too, if you are around Wellington next time.
TONY AND JENNY (Island Bay North Island, Aug 2020 - 7 days - 3 of 3 endorsements from this owner )
Adam stepped in for us at the last minute when our previously confirmed house sitter suddenly said he could not do our house sit. Adam was very prompt with communication, flexible & easy going. The house and cats were well looked after plus he carefully put away courier packages that arrived for us in our absence. Thanks so much Adam! We would love to have you back again when we are away on holiday.
 
IAN (Mount Victoria North Island, Aug 2020 - 2 days - 5 of 5 endorsements from this owner )
Adam was good - communicated with us before the house sit and sent us a picture of our cat during which was nice. The house was well looked after as was our cat. Would use again
 
JOSIE (Porirua North Island, Jul 2020 - 3 days)
Adam was very Professional & friendly. He made sure Otto was cared & loved during our brief break-away. He is easy to communicate with & we would recommend him for house sitting. He was great. We were very grateful that Adam could assist us on a short notice. Otto enjoyed his company. It meant we could relax & enjoy our time away.
 
CARLA (Waiwhetu North Island, May 2020 - 2 days)
Adam house sat for my dog for a week whilst I went away - I was lucky enough to secure Adam for the week as he has house sat before. Adam is a wonderful house sitter. He is tidy, considerate, enjoys daily walks and sends photos! He left the house spick and span, even watering the plants even though I said not to worry. Would definitely be contacting Adam for my next trip!! Highly recommend.
 
GAY (Silverstream , Mar 2020 - 1 week - 1 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
My dog was very anxious, Adam showed great patience, and won him around. Sparky became settled, and Adam and he were a happy unit. Adam fulfilled his brief in spades with regard to our animals, and Adam, we thank you sincerely.
 
MADELEINE AND ROY (Otaki North Island, Mar 2020 - 9 days)
Adam was a great house/pet sitter, he came to us highly recommended and we would happily use him again. He left the house spotless, the cats actually seemed disappointed when we came home! Definitely a great feeling going away knowing your pets are in good hands. Without a doubt i highly recommend Adam to anyone. Thanks so much Adam!
 
SOPHIE (Pinehaven North Island, Oct 2019 - 5 days)
Adam was really friendly, left the place in a great tidy state, happy cat too. Much appreciated!
 
ANTHONY (Naenae North Island, Oct 2019 - 4 days)
Adam house sat for my Collie dog Oliver for a week whilst I was away. Adam was fantastic! He was happy to meet before and had great communication. Adam sent me updates on Oliver and photos which was lovely so I felt so comfortable when away. Upon returning home, the house was clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend Adam to house sit!
