Experienced, reliable and personable

59, Business owner

With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals—cats, dogs, chickens, and even goats—I provide attentive and reliable care for your home and pets while you’re away. Working primarily from home allows me the flexibility to be present for your pets throughout the day, ensuring they're well looked after and comfortable in their familiar environment.

In the past couple of years, I’ve successfully house-sat for numerous homeowners, consistently delivering peace of mind with my reliable and thoughtful approach. Whether your pets need regular walks, feeding, or simply companionship, or your property requires careful upkeep, I take care of it all as if it were my own. (Please see attachments for my reviews and contact references)

I understand that every home and animal has unique needs, and I am committed to following your specific routines to ensure everything runs smoothly. From cuddly cats and energetic dogs to more independent animals like chickens and goats, I bring a wealth of knowledge, a love of animals, and a professional approach to my house-sitting services.

Some of my reviews include;
Good, pro-active communication and the offer to provide lifts to and from the airport was thoughtful and much appreciated. House was left clean and tidy and plants well cared for, although some kitchen items were left in the wrong place, necessitating a bit of searching when we returned.

We were so happy with Wil & Karen, they were wonderful cat/house sitters and I would happily have them again or recommend them on :) They sent update pics of our two happy cats and I even got a pic of my indoor pot plants thriving haha Wil dropped us off to the airport on arrival (with a baby in tow too!). And had offered to pick us up as well. We ended up having to unexpectedly cut the sit short by two days and Wil was so accommodating and flexible which was a relief at a tough family time. ... MORE

Wil and his partner did a fabulous job as our housesitters, and we're so grateful for their care. Our cats were clearly very content when we came back home, we loved the regular photo updates and the house was CLEAN and tidy. Wil is very prompt and thoughtful in his communication. In other words: we can highly recommend him and hope that in the future we can call on him again!

We are so grateful to Wil & Karen - they looked after our pets perfectly. Great with photos & news. Would not hesitate to ask them again & thoroughly recommend.
PENNY (Khandallah North Island, May 2023 - 2 months 3 weeks)

Will and Karen provided excellent care of our cats and our home while we were away for almost a month. One of our cats has special needs, and we were able to rest easy knowing Will was giving him his twice daily insulin injections. The house was clean on arrival, and they were really good at communication while away. We’d be happy to have them sit again anytime.

Karen is the dream house sitter. We went overseas for 5 days and we were 100% at ease knowing Karen was looking after our dog. She sent daily videos and photos and took our dog on many fun adventures. The house was tidier than when we left. Would definitely have Karen stay again.

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
