Love animals, gardening & travel

66, Retired / gardener

Hi, I'm Fay
As you will see I have done a lot of successful house sits and get daily requests to help allover NZ. If you house sit interests me I may ask for assistance with airfares as I live in the deep south! Sometimes I may be planning to be closer to your area at the time so this aspect can be discussed.
Looking forward to exploring parts of NZ in more depth than I've seen on drive around holidays and hopefully I'll be trusted to care for your home, pets and garden.
I am a mature female who enjoys travelling New Zealand and overseas when time and conditions permit.
I have worked in finance, administration and business management for most of my working career and my honesty and integrity in these situations has never been questioned.
I enjoy spending time on my hobbies which include sewing, gardening, walking, skiing and painting with acrylics. I also love spending time with grand children and friends.
I enjoy my own company so house sits in country areas would not be a problem.
I spent my teenage and early adult life living on farms of various sizes so am comfortable around dogs, cats, horses, sheep, cattle, pigs, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, but not so keen on mice or rats !!
I find gardening and lawn mowing a wonderful way to unwind.
In a house sitting situation I would care for a home as if it were my own and carry out any tasks requested and would contact owners if there was an extraordinary event that they needed to know about or report as often as they want me too.
I've often done sewing, mending etc while on house sits.
Looking forward to chatting soon

Fay was excellent, and clearly has a strong connection with pets and animals; she looked after our dog very well, I highly recommend her! Thank you so much!

Fay was a real gem and our Maisie was so happy with her. The house was perfectly maintained and we could not have had anyone better in our home. Fay made many friends in our small community and was highly regarded. We feel very fortunate to have had such a great experience and highly recommend Fay for any house/ pet sitting. We only hope she will be available again...Maisie is missing her!!! Huge thanks again :-D

It was lovely to have Fay housesit. She was easy to communicate with and looked after everything perfectly. I'd use her anytime. She had a big property to look after, plus a swimming pool and my seedlings and my courgettes. It was great to come home and find everything flourishing.
 
HILARY (Napier North Island, Nov 2022 - 1 week 6 days)
We really enjoyed having Fay look after our cats and our home whilst we were away. Really great communication before and during the sit. The house was very tidy, just the way we left it. We'd highly recommend Fay to care for your pets and look after your house and would welcome her back again.

Fay was a fantastic house sitter, we are so appreciative of her looking after Cleo, the chickens and the house! Anyone would be very lucky to have Fay house sit at their home. Thanks again!

Fay was amazing on so many levels. Great communicator. Bailey our little dog just loved her even our snooty cat fell in love. She kept us informed and was just delightful to deal with. We even came home to a cooked dinner. I'd recommend Fay really really highly. And will ask her again to house sit for us.

Fay was fantastic, coming home to happy and relaxed animals and a clean house was great. Would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a sitter. Easy and to quick to respond and would love her to come again.

Thanks Fay, you did an excellent job looking after our house and our two pets. The house was clean and we even got a small present upon our return. You are amazing!!!
 
LIZAN (Halswell South Island, Jan 2021 - 2 days)
Fay and her wee dog Spanky were an absolute perfect fit for my house/dog sit. From the beginning Fay's communication was swift and she was super flexible with availability as I changed last minute travel plans. She arrived right on time and I sensed immediately a warmth from her towards both myself and my dog Cora. Throughout the weekend Fay kept me updated with Cora's well-being etc and how Spanky and Cora were getting on. Spanky fit right in, a very well behaved, friendly lovely dog to ... MORE
