Mellygirl

55, Employer Liaison

Hello I'm a Kiwi who was living in Melbourne and moved back to NZ for good October 2017, after 16 years overseas in Hong Kong, China and Australia! I have been teaching English as a Second Language, worked as a Learning Advisor at a Polytech, and now work as a Manager/Employer Liaison at Red Cross - helping former refugees into work.

I love meeting people from all over the world. Travelling, coffee, the beach, small homes and photography are my passions and I love cats! I was raised on a farm so comfortable with animals. Also good on the end of a hose as my parents owned a wholesale plant nursery. I'm reliable, responsible, tidy and would love to look after your home and animals.

PLEASE NOTE, I work and live in Palmerston North so tend to do housesitting on my holidays (annual leave, Public Holidays and Christmas). =)

Jackie has been wonderful and we are so thrilled that she could look after our home and pets. We came home to a beautifully clean and tidy house with happy & contented bunny and guinea pigs and thriving plants. The sheets and towels were washed and dried and the house had such a happy, relaxed energy about it. Jackie's communication has been excellent from the first enquiry and she sent regular updates despite us being out of mobile phone range whilst away. We would be delighted if Jackie ... MORE

Jackie took wonderful care of our Timbit, and our home. We received daily updates on how Timbit was doing, as well an amusing photo on the day of Jackie's leaving. Jackie's parting gift and card were a lovely surprise to come home to. I highly recommend Jackie for house and pet care.

Jackie is the perfect Christmas angel, a delight to have in your home. She was so lovely and kind with our old dog and everything was perfect when we came home. She texted regularly to update us and came to meet us before we left.I would highly recommend Jackie to kiwi housesitters.

Jackie was a fantastic communicator and did an awesome job of looking after our puppy, house and garden while we were away for a week over the Christmas break. We would have no hesitation in reccomending Jackie to anyone. Thank you Jackie.

SARAH (Northland North Island, Oct 2019 - 3 days)
We are so grateful to Jackie for house sitting our dog, cat and house for the week. Jackie is reliable and honest and it was a pleasure to have her in our place. It's a big commitment being happy to walk our dog twice a day but Jackie was happy to oblige and we came home to happy animals. Our house was also clean and tidy upon our return. We would highly recommend Jackie for any house sitting job.

DJackie is an ideal house and pet sitter. We came back to a clean and tidy home, a well fed cat and a very healthy well watered garden. We have no hesitation in recommending Jackie
 
GREG (Wanganui North Island, Dec 2018 - 1 week)
No rating Jackie was a lovely house sitter, I felt very confident leaving our house & our cat in her care. She was in touch with me regularly while I was away which made me very confident that all was in hand. She left the house tidy and clean. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for other housesits.

Safe house!

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