Melissa

Hey there!

My name's Melissa and I am an animal loving, outdoors enthusiast, non-smoking, responsible, quiet, travelling yoga instructor and available for your house sitting needs short or long term.

I love spending time in the mountains, around the ocean, hiking, camping, climbing and exploring. If your dog is able I would love to take them along on these adventures!

As a sitter you can expect from me great care of your pets and home. I am also happy to accommodate any specific requests. I have two green thumbs and experience working in forestry if you have any garden maintenance required.

While house sitting I enjoy keeping your furry friends company, and also spending some much needed down time to myself reading, writing, and baking sweet treats.

I relocated to New Zealand a year and a half ago from British Columbia Canada and have been volunteering at various gardens, eco lodges, meditation centres and pruning and planting on a blueberry farm in Waikato.

I spent lockdown in the tiny village of St. Arnaud in Nelson Lakes on the South Island and have relocated back to the North since moving into Level 1. I take the necessary precautions to keep myself and others safe to help in the fight against covid 19.

I would love the opportunity to care for your home and furry loved ones.

Please feel free to contact me. Looking forward to meeting you!
