animal lover 22

54, Tech Industry

I'm a fit & mature IT professional with experience in house sitting. I enjoy spending time with animals and work from home so will be good company for your pets during the day. I'm a tidy and responsible non-smoker who treats your home like it's my own!

My daughter often calls me the 'cat whisperer'. Over the years, I have done house sitting in Christchurch, Wellington, Auckland and Queensland looking after cats, dogs, birds and farm animals.

If you are after a house sitter, I can’t recommend Heather highly enough. She looked after our dog (& lizard!) like her own and it was such a huge relief for us to find someone so trustworthy and caring to look after our house. She is absolutely the person you want to book.
 
LOU (Beckenham South Island, Jan 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
Heather is a delightful person who we were more than happy to look after our house and two dogs. As one of the dogs ran away, not Heathers fault, we got off to a stressful start. However all good after that and we would welcome Heather back to our home and to look after our dogs anytime in the future. Thanks so much Heather

SHANNON (Bryndwr South Island, Nov 2023 - 4 nights)
We were very happy and confident to have Heather look after our house and our cat. The house was left very clean and tidy, and I would certainly recommend Heather to anyone looking for someone they can trust to look after their home and pets.
 
JENNY (Halswell South Island, Oct 2023 - 2 weeks 3 nights)
The communication with Heather right from the word go was awesome. Greeting our pets,was a delight to watch., they loved her. She made me feel right as ease when we meet her. She was a absolute delight to have mind over our pets, respectful and caring. We came to to a lovely clean house. Wouldn't hesitate to contact Heather again
 
RHONDA (Halswell South Island, Oct 2023 - 4 days)
Heather stayed in our home for 6 weeks. Looking after our three young cats. The cats love her and she understood their individual needs very well. Heather kept our house clean and tidy , she met our neighbours kept in touch with us, sending us pictures of our animals. I would definitely ask her again to look after our home and pets.

Heather was a wonderful house sitter. She looked after our cat Piper and kept the house clean and tidy on our return. She was responsive with communication and the whole process was really easy and stress free.
 
EMM (Christchurch South Island, Dec 2022)
Heather has looked after our home and wee dog twice now. The process was seamless and communication was great. Ruby was well cared for and our house was absolutely immaculate when we came home. I would not hesitate to recommend Heather.
 
VICTORIA (Beckenham South Island, Nov 2022 - 4 days)
We can highly recommend Heather. We were 'newbies' to the whole housesitting experience, but Heather made it super easy and it was great to get the occasional update about our pets whilst we were away. It was clear she had quickly got to grips with their different personalities. Thanks Heather for making this such an easy experience.
 
CHERYL (Cashmere South Island, Sep 2022 - 1 week 4 days)
We used Heather twice, and our experience was wonderful. She cares about our animals like we do, she is great with communicating and sent photos whilst we were away. She has definitely got a huge thumbs up from us and we would give her a positive recommendation to anyone.
 
REBECCA (New Brighton , Jul 2022 - 4 weeks)
Heather was an absolute lifesaver. Not only did she agree to catsit at very short notice, but then also went above and beyond to help out in between other commitments when my return home was delayed due to cancelled flights. It was obvious when I got back that my cats had been well-cared for and given a lot of attention (they are quite needy and affectionate!), and my house was extra clean and tidy. Heather is very responsive and excellent with communication. She clearly has a lot of ... MORE
 
JENNIFER (Sydenham South Island, Jul 2022 - 4 days)
My first time using a sitter and have been very impressed. I came home to a very settled and happy dog and a beautiful tidy clean home. I would recommend Heather to friends and family
 
DIANA (Christchurch South Island, May 2022 - 3 weeks)
Heather was fabulous! My cat is very timid and I was delighted to see that Heather built a rapport with her very quickly and Lola was even confident enough to sleep on the bed with her. My home was beautifully cared for, with extra cleaning which was a wonderful treat. Would highly recommend Heather.
 
JACQUELINE (Kaiapoi South Island, Apr 2022 - 1 week 2 days)
House was immaculate on return! Heather was incredibly patient and kind with our rescue dogs and we will always appreciate that she won them over and looked after them so well. Heather was very good in keeping us up to date and we would definitely have Heather again.
 
MICHELLE (Beckenham South Island, Apr 2022 - 4 days)
Heather was very professional and easy to communicate with! She took wonderful care of our cat and home while we were away. The house was left immaculate! Thank you Heather! :)
 
TASMIN (North New Brighton South Island, Mar 2022 - 6 days)
I have used Kiwihouse sitters a number of times and have always been pleased with each and everyone. Heather was very professional, polite and respectful of my home and understanding of my concerns about leaving my cat Judy as she is extremely nervous around new people and very wary of strangers. Heather made sure that Judy was well taken care of and I came home to a sparkling clean house. I would highly recommend her for all house sits and hope that she is available to sit for me again in the ... MORE
