Reliable Kiwi Professional

35, Biodiversity Planner

Kia ora home and pet owners,

I'm a 35 year old kiwi female, working for the Department of Conservation in Christchurch. I moved to chch after 8 years away in London and Melbourne.

I've recently bought my first home (that came with a cat believe it or not), and have been busy the past few months doing renovations. Due to my change in circumstances, I no longer do as many housesits, but I am looking for an Easter 2024 break for myself and a few girlfriends (it will be my 36th birthday). We are all runners/hikers, so would love to stay in an area where a few trails are available (and take your dog with us if they love running too). If you are close to a main centre, we will probably go out to a restaurant for dinner, or maybe just stay home and play boardgames and watch movies depending on the mood.

I've owned dogs, cats, fish and birds previously. I will gladly take your dog with me on my morning runs if they like/need the exercise, or on day hikes in the surrounding area on the weekends. I also know how not to over-water (or under water) a houseplant.

Many thanks
Natalie

Natalie was amazing. I felt 100% confident that she had everything under control. We came home to two happy cats and a clean, tidy house. Would highly recommend Natalie for any sit.

Natalie is the most amazing sitter. We are absolutely thrilled to have met her. This young lady is quite frankly one of the most amazing, honest, and reliable sitter we have had. Not only was Charlie cared for in a loving manner, (the photos where amazing, thankyou) but when the hot water cylinder broke down, Natalie calmly figured out what to do, organise the plumber and contacted us. We where thrilled with her practical care of the situation. Our house was left in a immaculate state. Charlie ... MORE

Natalie took care of our home and furbaby while we were away tramping. I was a bit nervous as this was our first sit, but upon return, I was relieved to find a happy dog and a clean house just the way we left it. I would happily choose to have Natalie back for another sit! The plants were cared for, the house was clean and our puppo was fully exercised.

Natalie has just finished a house sit for us. We returned to an immaculate house, linen all laundered and bed remade. Pets were well looked after and she waited until we returned before leaving. We would be happy to have Natalie house sit for us anytime.
 
LESLEY (Beckenham , Feb 2022 - 6 days)
Thanks Natalie for being so great to deal with before the sit and during our holiday. We came home to find the place clean and tidy and Natalie even washed and dried her bedding for us. We really appreciated her accomodating our two older cat's eccentricities around eating and toileting. It's a huge relief to be able to head away knowing they'll be looked after. Natalie was very considerate and really tuned in to the cats needs. She discovered Blacky's preference to eat outdoors where his ... MORE

Thank you Natalie for looking after our pets so well and our home. Your communication was quick and we covered everything easily. Natalie sent us photos of herself with our pets after our 1st day away, which was lovely to get but she didn't bombard us either. If Nat needed info she asked straight away and any issues were dealt with straightaway. I came home to a nice clean house and she even sorted out my linen cupboard! I would have Nat back in a heart beat. Thank you once again. ... MORE

Such a pleasure to have Natalie care for our dogs while we were away. They were very well cared for and Natalie kept us well 8 formed of what was happening. Thank you Natalie.
 
LINDA (Pukete North Island, Jul 2020 - 6 days)
I consider that I was particularly lucky to have Natalie look after my beloved cat, Tisha, and my home. I found her a charming - and busy - young woman. She was systematic and energetic. I returned to a sparkling, clean home, which was a huge treat for me. She had handled personal things (like receiving parcels at my door) and she offered to collect me from the bus station. She communicated with me when I was away, and she was particularly observant with my Tisha. I think that Tisha ... MORE

Excellent communication from an obviously dedicated animal lover. Left the house in the same clean and tidy way it was left to her. We would certainly use Natalie again and recommend her to others.
