Experienced housesitter Police employee

58, NZ Police

Hi, I am a mature single woman and I have been housesitting permanently for the past 11 years. My love of animals continues to make my lifestyle enjoyable and I'm lucky to have met lovely homeowners over the years. I have looked after a variety of pets including dogs, cats, chickens, sheep from city apartments to rural properties. I have a lot of repeat housesits and referrals from homeowners to friends and neighbours each year. I have also completed sits with a number of my Police colleagues. Outside of work I lead a very quiet life. I can guarantee your home and pets will be in responsible and respectful hands. I would love the opportunity to give your pets lots of care and attention. I have always had dogs and cats myself. I have left my Bloodhound 'Max' and cat 'Flossy' with family members and miss having them around, so if you have got animals, perfect! I am fit and active, a regular walker so exercising your dog daily would be no issue to me. Pets are not a prerequisite of course. I've maintained homes without pets and also looked after properties with extensive flower and vegetable gardens and pools. I am looking for long term assignments but will consider anything over 3 weeks.

Preferred Locations: Auckland City and surrounding area but will also consider Counties Manukau and Franklin

No rating Tracey looked after my home and 2 pets while I was overseas in April/May this year (2018). I was so pleased with the care and attention to detail. I think she even gave my dog a bath! Both my pets - cat & dog were well cared for and happy while I was away. Tracey sent me regular updates and photos of of the pets while I was away which was awesome and made me not worry about them. She also coordinated with the guy doing roof repairs for me and when I arrived home the house was spotless and ... MORE

Lovely to come home to a pair of very well looked after cats who were very settled along with a nice and tidy house plus some initial supplies.. Highly recommend Tracey who dropped me updates and photo’s regularly not to mention the visits she made prior to the house sit to make sure we were both on the same page. Thanks Tracey much appreciated. This was my first Kiwi House Sitters experience and it worked out really well for me. Will be recommending it, like it was recommended to me.
 
FIONA (Opaheke North Island, Apr 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Tracey was just awesome - great communication and care of our home and our 13 year old miniature schnauzer was well looked after and very happy - high recommend Tracey
 
KAREN (The Gardens North Island, Apr 2023 - 1 week 2 days)
When we met Tracey prior to her looking after our house, we were instantly comfortable. We knew the cats and the house would be well looked after. Communication was great, Tracey kept us well informed about the cats and we returned to a lovely clean house and two very happy moggies. Thanks Tracey you went over and beyond what we expected and would very much love to call upon again in the near future. We would have no hesitation of recommending Tracey. as a house and pet minder.
 
MICHELLE (Hillsborough North Island, Feb 2023 - 10 nights)
Tracey looked after our home and two cats in January 2023. She did this with lots of care and attention to detail and updated us regularly with photos and videos of the cats. We knew they were in very good hands, loved and cared for. Our return to New Zealand was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances and Tracey messaged us not to worry and stayed on for two extra days. She is a real gem and it seems her calm nature has had a positive effect on the cats too. Back home we found the house very ... MORE
 
MIRJAM (Glendowie , Dec 2022 - 3 weeks)
Tracey was a wonderful house sitter. Her communication was excellent, with regular updates while we were away. We had a water leak and Tracey arranged for the plumber to come and repair it. She took great care of our cat and left the house very clean and tidy. We would thoroughly recommend Tracey and hope to use her again.
 
GRAHAM & SUE (St Heliers North Island, Oct 2022 - 1 month 1 week)
First time users of Kiwi House Sitters and very impressed. Tracey has been everything we hoped for and it was so nice to go away for so long and have no worries. Our house was spotless when we got back. Tracey kept us up-to-date with everything. Our cat was more than well looked after in fact, spoilt I would say. All our very many pot plants are looking healthy too. I would thoroughly recommend Tracey to anyone looking for a house sitter and if we go away again sometime hope very much she ... MORE
 
CHRISTINE (Papakura North Island, Aug 2022 - 1 month 1 week)
Tracey was Fantastic with our very nervous dog! Our dog does not like strangers and from the first meet and greet shared her favourite ball with Tracey. During the sit Tracey was patient with Pixie and kept us well updated with their progress. The house was found Spotless! We really appreciated coming home to a clean house and happy pup!
 
SHARNIE (Pokeno , Aug 2022 - 1 week)
Tracey was an amazing sitter. She bonded immediately with both the dog and the cat. Milla, the dog, immediately welcomed Tracey with lots of tail wagging. I had thought that the cat would be very standoffish, but no, Tracey had her purring very shortly after her arrival. I received videos showing happy pets. My home was left spotless. I would definitely use Tracey again.
 
MARGARET (Stonefields North Island, Jul 2022 - 6 days)
We went back to the UK for one month and knew that we were leaving our house and pets in good hands. Tracey kept us updated with how everything was and even sent videos of the pets for our daughter to see! Would highly recommend.
 
KATE (Remuera North Island, Jun 2022 - One month)
Very lucky to have such a lovely lady look after Max, I was nervous leaving him as I am home with him full time. But Tracey kept in touch to let me know he was fine even sending a photo of him sprawled out in the lounge. Much appreciated . The house was lovely and tidy to walk back into. thank you
 
KATIE (Hillsborough North Island, Jan 2022 - 1 week)
Tracey does a wonderful job of minding my elderly cat. He loves her! We have been lucky to have had Tracey look after our home so well, leaving it so clean and tidy. She took great care of every detail in feeding the cat his particular diet and making sure he had companionship and attention. Thank you for being a super sitter Tracey!
 
ANGELA (Ellerslie North Island, Dec 2021 - 1 week - 1 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
I felt very comfortable leaving Rosie and my home in Tracey's care. Tracey is considerate and takes good care of both pets and home. I would recommend Tracey to others.
 
NAOMI (Hill Park North Island, Apr 2021)
Tracey recently looked after our home and two cats. She did a great job and I would highly recommend her
 
DEBORAH (Kohimarama North Island, Feb 2021 - 6 days)
Tracey was absolutely fantastic! She was very professional when discussing our needs and requests. Our home, dogs and cat were treated like her own. While we missed our fur babies while we were away, we didn't worry for one second about them as we knew they were with Tracey. We highly recommend her :)
 
VANESSA (Patumahoe North Island, Jan 2021 - 1 week)
We feel lucky that Tracey was available to housesit for us. She cared for our boisterous kittens and left our house cleaner than we'd left it! She was lovely to deal with. Highly recommended.
 
RACHEL (Maraetai , Dec 2020 - 5 nights)
What a positive first experience with a house sitter. Tracey was extremely professional and put our minds at ease immediately. She took wonderful care of our dog and the house was immaculate upon our return. Communication was top notch. We would highly recommend Tracey to others too.
 
PENNY (Mission Bay North Island, Oct 2020 - 5 days)
Tracey was a fabulous house sitter. She made sure to cover off on everything that may have been required for our pets, and communication was clear and kind. Highly recommended.
 
JODY (Mt Wellington North Island, Oct 2020 - 6 days)
Highly recommended Tracey as a house sitter. Great communication, proactive, took great care of our dog and house and left everything immaculate. It is great to be able to go away and not have to worry about anything at home especially any fur babies. Already booked in for our next trip away!
 
SAMANTHA (Pukekohe North Island, Sep 2020 - 6 days)
I was very impressed with Tracey, and so thankful for her lovely communication and keeping me up to date while I was away. As an experienced sitter, she shows a friendly, warm, professional manner and can adapt easily to minding different homes and animals. Tending to my cats' dietary requirements (fussy?!) was not a problem, and he ate lots, relaxed and was well cared for. This was a short stay, but Tracey went above and beyond keeping my house spotless. She also went the extra mile to ... MORE
 
ANGELA (Ellerslie North Island, Jul 2020 - 5 days - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Tracey was very professional and lovely to deal with. We would definitely use her again without hesitation. Due to the lockdown we needed to return home early and Tracey took this in her stride. Our cat was in good health on our return and the house was immaculate.
 
PHILIP (Pukekohe , Mar 2020 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Tracey was a fabulous house and pet sitter. On finding Kiwi House Sitters we thought it far better for our miniature schnauzer, Sara, to be looked after in her own home rather than left at kennels. Tracey visited us and we were comforted by her maturity, experience, love of animals and caring nature. She was very punctual as well as prompt with all communications, visiting again closer to the house sit to go for a walk with us and the dog and collect keys. Tracey texted us when she arrived the ... MORE
 
CHRIS (Ellerslie North Island, Dec 2019 - 3 weeks)
Tracey agreed to house sit and look after my elderly cat at relatively short notice, and for a week, which is shorter than her usual preferred duration. She came over to meet us beforehand, and we liked her mature, responsible attitude. Everything was taken care of at home, and the cat was happy. Tracey texted me a couple of times when she wanted to know where a key was kept, or where she could find more cat litter. She thought that she had damaged one of our knives (she hadn't, it was like ... MORE
 
JOAN (Conifer Grove , Oct 2018)
No rating My partner and I have just returned from a 7 week holiday to Mexico. As great as the holiday was we were looking forward to coming home to our baby...Leo the cat, and our own bed. We arrived home to a very happy and content Leo, nice clean home, some fresh essentials in the fridge, plants that had all grown a foot and a lovely fleshly made bed!What more could you ask for! Tracey was an absolute pleasure to have in our home and kept us informed with things back home and updates of Leo. Tracey ... MORE
