Single, reliable, loves pets

39, Marketing Contractor and Writer

Hello, my name is Lisa, I'm a 39 year old Marketing professional and writer. I'm lucky in that I can work remotely which means I'm able to house sit in a wide area and will be at home a lot to look after the property and any animals.

After having lived the career-focused life in Auckland for 11 years, I've spent 5 years travelling around New Zealand in my motorhome while working remotely, which has been an amazing experience. Last year, I sold the motorhome, but I'm unsure at the moment if and where I want to settle permanently which is why housesitting works really well for me right now.

I'm extremely reliable and considerate. I love all animals (except spiders), and am more than happy to look after gardens or other parts of the property. I'm very tidy and clean and will look after your house and property as if it were my own.

I have experience looking after cats, dogs, chicken, sheep, horses, bunnies, birds and a turtle :)

Please feel free to send me a message or give me a call if you have any questions or would just like to have a chat.

References are also available if you would like to talk to someone I housesat for in the past.

Lisa spent the evening before her sit with me and I was immediately aware that she would be ideal. Her communication skills from our first contact and throughout the stay were absolutely tops. She sent me regular updates (and photos) on my pet in my absence. A lovely touch. My aged cat required two medications which Lisa dealt with efficiently. It was just great to return to a spotlessly clean house and happy cat. I would be soooo happy to welcome Lisa to my home again and most ... MORE

I highly recommend Lisa as a housesitter. The house was immaculate when we got home and Evie (the cat) was happy and healthy. She sent us regular photos of Evie and kept in touch with us. 😀
 
MANDY (Oamaru North South Island, Dec 2023 - 2 weeks)
Lisa took care of my home and my nervous cat for 36 days and was brilliant in every way. She was very reliable and communicated well throughout the process. She sent me many comforting photos of my contented cat and kept me up to date regarding mail etc. Lisa was flexible and unflappable. For example, she accommodated me having to stay away for an extra night due to a delayed flight. She picked me up from the airport and I returned home to a clean house and a happy, healthy cat. I highly ... MORE
 
SUZANNE (Opoho , Nov 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Lisa looked after our house for over 3 months whilst we were overseas. She is clearly a reliable and experienced house sitter and we quickly felt secure knowing that our home was in her safe and capable hands. She was incredibly helpful throughout the process and quick to respond when we had questions. Whilst we were away, we both really appreciated knowing she was looking after things; getting in touch when there was anything we needed to know, but otherwise leaving us worry-free. We were ...

CHRISTINE (Army Bay North Island, May 2023 - 1 week)
Lisa was fantastic. Looked after the cats and house extremely well. She is a great communicator and I appreciated getting the updates with photos. I would certainly want her to house/pet sit for us again. Thank you Lisa
 
LEXIE (Milford North Island, Apr 2023 - 1 week)
Lisa did a great job of looking after our place. Everything was left clean and tidy and the lawns were mowed. Wilbur the cat was just as happy. Lisa communicates well and was fine with us returning a bit early then leaving again.
 
PAUL (One Tree Point North Island, Feb 2023 - 5 weeks)
Lisa was a dream sitter. Kept me updated on how Olive was doing and I had no doubt she was in good hands. The house was exactly as I left it when I got home after a long trip, which is always a relief. Thanks Lisa!
 
KELLY (Red Beach North Island, Nov 2022 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Lisa was an excellent pet sitter that kept us regularly updated on our elderly cat and dog and ensured the both had their medications as well as cuddles and exercise for the pooch. Would fully recommend
 
DAVID (Devonport North Island, Jul 2022 - 6 weeks)
Lisa was an excellent house sitter and I would absolutely have her back again any time. Her communication prior to and during the house sit was great. She sent photos of my pets having a lovely time with her. The house was left clean and tidy. My cat was unwell and she gave him medicine and looked after him really well. I was confident he was in good and kind hands.
 
CAROLINE (Tutukaka North Island, Jul 2022 - 7 days)
Thank you Lisa for being the most perfect housesitter. We were away for 5 weeks and didn't have to worry about a thing. We returned to a spotless house with everything in it's place and a very happy cuddly cat. Lisa kept in touch with us, sent lovely photos and managed everything with confidence, experience, gentleness and great care. We would love to have Lisa house sit for us again.
 
DEBORAH (St Johns Park North Island, May 2022 - 1 month 1 week)
Lisa was a great pet sitter and housesitter. Our two cats were happy and relaxed when we got home again. Lisa was not worried about having to give medications to one of the cats. She also observed that one cat was not eating very well and that our other cat was eating the leftovers, and she let us know immediately. Lisa was a really great communicator while we were away, and sent photos which we greatly appreciated. We were also really pleased to find our house clean and tidy, as we left ... MORE

No rating Lisa was our first experience of house sitting. We were delighted with Lisa. Our cat and dog were well looked after, the house was in a lovely state and Lisa was just lovely. We would have Lisa to house sit again any time.
KATHY (Mangawhai Heads North Island, Jul 2018 - 1 week 1 day)
No rating Lisa looked after our home and cat for 3 and a half weeks while we were in the UK. . She kept us updated by email while we were away so we could relax knowing everything was being taken care of. We came home to everything as we left it and a happy cat. We highly recommend Michelle for a housesit and would happily have her come again

JOHN (Gordonton , Jun 2018)
No rating Lisa looked after our house and little dog while we were overseas for 5 days. She sent a couple of photos when she arrived and with our dog on her knee which we very grateful for. We had a happy dog and a beautiful tidy home and kitchen on our return. She communicated well and asked questions not covered by us. We are very grateful and recommend her to others.
