Quiet and Caring Sitter

40+, Implementation Consultant

Hello, I adore being with animals and the quiet life. I am available to pet and house sit all over NZ. I am happy to travel to where you are. I am currently not on a work assignment and so will be with your pets during the day. When I am working it is typically overseas, or researching from home. I have house sit for for a while now and thoroughly enjoy it, and find it helps me out a lot in between work assignments. I have travelled a lot of the world, have worked overseas many times and love coming home to NZ. I love simplicity, everything natural, the sea, air and even our cold weather.

I bond deeply with animals in general. Relaxing I am reading, researching online or baking. I dont watch TV etc.. I treasure the quiet. I am the style of person who tends to keep to themselves, private and has deep relationships - animals, people, anything in life. If I am out, it is typically to go for a run, yoga or cafe/grocery shop. If I am with doggies they tend to come with me. We love our morning walks and afternoon romp.

I tend to do long sits > month and am often asked to return or stay on. I am known for taking care of things, and people have told me I am super organised and clean. Most animals will sleep with me unless they have their preferred bed. I have a natural affinity with animals -- even when I am travelling I tend to adopt local pets. I love to cook and create most things myself. I love the company of kitty kats / doggies while I potter around the home... While I work on the computer, my current kitty will curl up on my lap as I work. Cuddle time!

I do rely on a fast stable internet connection. Never smoked and don't like the smell of smoke. Basic cleanliness is a requirement for me. I have helped not-so-clean homes in the past, and in both cases the owners were absolutely candid - they simply gave me the heads-up during our zoom. This allowed me to bring some extra stuff to be sorted.

If you have extra things you would love done, please ask. Always happy to help and accomodate where I can.

Thank you for considering me as a possible pet + house sitter.

WOW! WOW! Suz is an amazing house and dog sitter. Exceptional eye to detail and she took fantastic care of the house, garden and dog. Yummy treats in the fridge and freezer on our return and she has cooked us three amazing meals since we got back and helped us transition and get over the jet lag. We can't recommend her highly enough. You will need to book her well ahead of time. She is honest, reliable and a great communicator. Kind, caring and considerate. Our dog is high energy and she ...

CHRIS (Richmond South Island, May 2023 - 2 months 1 week)
Suz was the most brilliant house sitter, so well organised with excellent communication. Our family’s two Jack Russells and two old Burmese cats loved her. She was not worried by a brief quick exit with the animals to another property when ours was under threat of fire. She reorganised the house cupboards and fridge chaos and left the house in far better cleanliness than she found it. There was cooked food in the fridge and she is thoughtful and self reliant. Dropping a car to the airport ... MORE
 
SUSANNA (Lake Tekapo , Feb 2024 - 2 weeks 6 nights)
Suz was an outstanding sitter for the 4 days we were away - exceptionally clean, great communication including a lovely welcome home note, and she clearly adores dogs. Claude was very well looked after and enjoyed her company. Suz took care of the house and washed bedding etc for us, making the return from holiday so easy! Would highly recommend :)
 
SACHA (Newtown North Island, Feb 2024 - 4 nights)
Suz was lovely, our dogs and cat were so well cared for and our the house was so tidy. No hesitation in recommending Suz, we'd have her back in a heartbeat if she was available when we go away. Her communication prior to the sit was really good too. Best of luck Suz, thank you so much!
 
RUTH (Raumati South North Island, Feb 2024 - 1 week)
Excellent! We returned home to a very content and happy Toto. Suz took very good care of him and catered to his every need. She left the house tidy, the dog happy and humans spoiled with a home cooked meal and baked goodies.
 
CHIRRIZA (Northwood South Island, Oct 2023 - 1 week 1 night)
You couldn't ask for a more caring, thoughtful and trustful housesitter. Suz loves looking after pets and our dog Tilly loved having her as a housemate for 4 weeks! On our return the house was immaculate...actually the cleanest and tidiest it has ever been, but more importantly our little Jack Russell was smiling from ear to ear!!! All of Suz's communication was timely and efficient and her willingness to be flexible and fit in was much appreciated. I hope that we can entice Suz back for ... MORE
 
SARA (The Wood South Island, Sep 2023 - 4 weeks)
Suz was a fantastic sitter, Mia my pup just loved her and they had so much fun together , I don’t think Mia missed me at all which is exactly what I wanted. Number one priority was my beautiful Pomeranian ., However my home was immaculate on my return with also lots of yummy delicacies in my pantry and fridge.. it was like having a best friend to stay I have no hesitation in recommending Suz for any house sit she appleys for. . In future I would plan my holidays around her availability. ... MORE
 
DI (Papamoa Beach North Island, Apr 2023 - 4 days)
Suz, was absolutely amazing. Our doggies were cared for, our house was left beyond our expectations (in fact cleaner than we left it) and she communicated with us perfectly before and throughout the house sit. She’s someone we would highly recommend and would definitely use again, if she’s available. She’s in high demand and we know why. Thanks Suz. X
 
AMBER (Papamoa Beach North Island, Apr 2023 - 15 days)
Suz was a fantastic house and dog sitter. I was away for eight weeks and when she collected me from the airport and brought me home I felt I had never been away. No hassles, clean and tidy and a very happy dog. Suz also prepared dinner for me and did lots of baking which she has filled my fridge with. A very natural and easy going person. Would have her back anytime that I was going away if she was available. Recommend Suz to any person looking for a house and dog sitter. Many thanks Suz ... MORE
 
SANDY (Bethlehem North Island, Jan 2023 - 8 weeks)
We knew from the moment we spoke to Suz that our four legged friend would be in good hands. Suz communicated well, took excellent care of the house, our dog and was just an absolutely pleasure to have here. She shared her knowledge of gardening and her love of food with us. Next long holiday we will be contacting her without questions.
 
MANDY (Hospital Hill North Island, Oct 2022 - 1 week)
From the moment we contacted Suz we liked her ! We were away for 11 weeks and every couple of weeks had messages and pictures from her telling us how Rosie, our much loved dog was, we even got to talk to Rosie on a call which was lovely. Suz arrived about 3 days before we left and was able to see what Rosie's routines were, food, treats, walks etc and she loved Suz before we left. When we arrived home it was to a spotless house, the vege garden had been planted, and there was one very happy ... MORE
 
SUE (Cooks Beach , Jul 2022 - 2 months 2 weeks)
Suz looked after our golden retriever pup Beau for five weeks while we were overseas. During our time away Suz kept us well updated on Beau: communication was excellent. On our return our home was immaculate, Suz had provided thoughtful extra touches such as baking and even gardening. Beau was relaxed and happy with Suz; she has a natural affinity with animals and he was very well cared for and exercised in spite of stormy winter weather.
 
MARGIE (Epsom North Island, Jun 2022 - 1 month 1 week)
Suz was an absolute amazing sitter. my dog was so well looked after and in love with Suz that the first night I was home he slept with Suz lol. Suz made my time away so relaxing as I knew my baby and house were in good hands. Suz went above and beyond in so many ways. I definitely recommend her !! she's also an amazing cook
 
SANDRA (29 Third avenue North Island, May 2022 - 3 weeks)
Our Maggie and Freddie, were gutted when Suz left. She has such good rapport with animals, they felt completely at ease with her. Lovely person, great communicator, and excellent cook. Had a delicious meal done for us on our return. Fitted well into our family life. Fun person to have around.
 
MARGARET (Napier North Island, May 2022 - 3 days)
Suz was fantastic and flexible due to Covid to house sit for 3.5 months. When the border opened, she kindly delivered our car to Auckland airport for us to drive home. It was great to come home with the house, and veggie and flower gardens well looked after with our plums, blueberries and raspberries all picked and in our freezer that she superbly organised. She also left us food like her homemade corn fritters, ricotta cheese, roasted tomatoes, and lemon curd. We appreciate all that she did to ... MORE
 
BOB (Ngongotaha North Island, Dec 2021 - 3.5 months)
Suz housesat for us for 10 weeks. Suz also looked after our new kitten and dog. We have no hesitation in recommending Suz. Very easy to get along with and most trustworthy. We left our Ute for Suz to use and take our dog to the beach her runs. Suz kept our property very clean and tidy, she is a natural. We would have Suz back anytime. We have remained firm friends since also.
