Responsible living carer

40, Yoga teacher & Personal Trainer

I am 40 female, currently Christchurch based. Im a yoga teacher and personal trainer.

I enjoy taking breaks away to do some writing and love the adventure of house sitting.

I am considerate, tidy and have a range of experience in house sitting around NZ for 7 years now.

You can expect a responsible, mature, considerate and low key sitter (as I'm pretty heavily into my wellness) . I am at a very focused stage of my life so I like the idea of a quiet space to get on with my own writing and quiet things.

I have now completed many successful housesits around Christchurch over the past year and have built a reputation as a trusted house sitter- I am happy to provide references

Thankyou

Kindest regards
Jo

No rating Jo was a fantastic housesitter. We got regular updates via email and pictures of our cat so we knew everything was going smoothly. The house was clean and tidy when we returned. We would definitely have Jo to housesit again and would recommend her to anyone.

We can highly recommend Joanna as a house sitter. She is very professional and therefore reliable. Joanna fulfilled her pet duties well. Joanna is an excellent communicator and responds quickly to messages. The house was left clean and tidy and the linen had been washed. We came home to a happy cat as well as a couple of treats ( pumpkin soup & muffins) .

Jo is a wonderful house sitter. She is easy to communicate with and left our house beautifully clean and tidy. Our cat was happy to get lots of attention. We will definitely ask Jo to house sit again.

Jo is lovely...we had total peace of mind while she was staying in our home and taking care of our much-loved cat.

Jo looked after our home for 5 weeks. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with, great communication, and did a wonderful job of looking after our home while we were away. We had lost our cat just prior to the housesit, but now have a new fur baby, and would happily ask Jo to look after her and our home again, highly recommend

Joanna was an amazing house sitter. Great communication and updates. Our kitties felt at ease. Joanna left the place very tidy and even made a cake for us on our return. Would definitely recommend! Thanks Joanna.

Jo has now house sat three times for me. I can't recommend Jo too highly as a caring, reliable and trustworthy sitter. Jo's deep kindness and compassion were demonstrated on her most recent sit when one of my cats died unexpectedly. Jo communicated with me, made temporary arrangements for the cat's body and followed up after I got home to make sure all was OK. I would be happy to have Jo house sit for me again in the future.

Jo is a great house sitter. Communication was good, i enjoyed meeting Jo and felt comfortable leaving her in charge of my home and pets. When I got back the house was clean and tidy and the pets were happy . I am happy to have Jo house sit again.

Jo was a wonderful house sitter. We enjoyed meeting her and instantly felt comfortable with her being in our house. Her communication was excellent. She even sent us text messages with photo updates of our cat. Jo is very thoughtful. We were very grateful to arrive home late to milk, bread, eggs and flowers. We recommend Jo highly and would not hesitate to use her again.

Jo had great communication and was a real pleasure to deal with. The house was lovely, clean and tidy on our arrival home and we even arrived home to some chocolates and flowers from the garden on our bench. Thanks a mill Jo and we'd love to have you back in the future.

No rating Thank you Joanna for being such a wonderful house and cat sitter. Our wee darling loved you looking after her and we will have you back in a heart beat next time we go away.
JORDIS (Spencerville South Island, Jan 2018 - 1 week 1 day)
No rating It was an absolute pleasure having Jo look after our home and our elderly dog, Jerry for a month. Whilst we were away, we received regular updates (incl photos of Jerry) which really gave us piece of mind and allowed us to have a relaxing holiday. Jo dealt with all the household matters in an expert manner and with good judgement. We arrived back to a clean, well looked after house and one very happy Maltese Poodle. We would highly recommend Jo to anyone looking a reliable, professional and ... MORE
