Reliable Plus

70, Artist

Hi, I'm Irene, I had my home in Te Anau, Southland until recently selling and moving to Rakaia I was in the North Island from Dec 2019 until I had to come back to TeAnau for Lock down and enjoyed house sitting in many different areas.
I am retired, refired and have no ties.
I am a young 70, mature, honest and very reliable. I love gardening, so lawns and gardens are no problem and as I have no pets of my own, really enjoy time with other peoples ones.
I own my own home so know how to value and look after a home.
I do not smoke or drink.
I hosted Airbnb in my home summer 2019 which was really enjoyable and had a manager to do the same with it while I was in North island. Post covid I have shifted to Rakaia and no longer airbnb my home so house sitting now is a little different with shorter time frames.
I love to paint and my home has lots of paintings in it.
I enjoy the country and the sea, and now that we have google maps to stop me getting lost!! Can enjoy the cities and towns as well.
I am looking forward to the year ahead, meeting many of you and taking good care of your homes, pets and grounds.

Irene made our first house sitting experience super easy. Good communication and house & pets were left in as good as if not better condition than when we left them. Highly recommended.

Irene was exactly who I needed to stay at my house with the animals. Irene is mature, responsible, and dedicated to your animals. She follows directions well. Irene is very friendly and presents a loving attitude towards the animals in her charge. I would not hesitate to have Irene return to be with my animals again.

I would highly recommend Irene and definitely have her back. I had to cancel our housekeeper the week she stayed because she left the house too clean! ;-) She is a lovely lady. I got home to happy, stress free animals which was my main priority. Thanks Irene

We enjoyed meeting Irene. The house was clean and tidy when we got home. The animals were well looked after. We would be very happy to have Irene house sit again.

Irene is very friendly and caring, and looked after Blackie well. The house was clean and tidy upon my return. I'd love to have Irene back again should the need arise, and recommend her as a housesitter. Thanks.

Irene was lovely to communicate with before, during and after our sit. She kept us posted on our cats shenanigans (a few caught skinks and a bird � ‍♀️) and we were more than happy to store items for her after an incident with her car. Highly recommended sitter! We would Irene back in a heartbeat.
