Stay at Home Caring Pet Sitter

45, Profesional property & pet carer & online nomad

Hello, I'm Eliza
I'm an independent, happy, responsible, kiwi woman who's well-traveled, non-smoking, and a big animal lover!

I've been house-sitting for the last 12 years, caring for pets & homes in various locations from rural Thailand, to central Auckland, Queenstown, and to the coast of Turkey. I've looked after cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, chickens, ducks, goats as well as some farm animals.
I've have loved it all & valued the opportunity to be trusted with other people's pets and property. Luxury homes through to rural cottages, and yachts, I welcome all opportunities.

I especially love to look after cats :) But also love dogs!

I'm trustworthy, dependable, police checked vetted, very adaptable to different surroundings, quickly settle into a new place, and feel at home, not put off by isolated or rural locations. I'm practical, resourceful, and quick to sort out any unexpected problems that may arise.

I work from home so never too far away to give your animals lots of love and attention.

Happy to do various additional duties - Home & garden maintenance, odd jobs, help with your business while you're away for a negotiated fee.

I genuinely love animals, and house sit because i love to take care of them and travel. I like this lifestyle :)
I have lots of references on my Trusted house sitters page and on my website. Please contact me for details.
Here is a snapshot of a few of them, happy to provide written references and phone numbers-

Eliza did a fabulous job with my 2 cats. The youngest one is scared of people and usually hides or runs away but Eliza had her coming in for cuddles on the first day. Eliza also left my house beautifully tidy and l would strongly recommend her for cat and house sitting. Cheers Karen
 
KAREN (Gibbston valley South Island, Jun 2021 - 10 days)
Elsa was great to deal with and she really went the extra mile for us. We had the option to stay away an extra night and Elsa was kind enough to drop Kiki off to the cattery for us. Elsa was easy to communicate with and the house was left lovely and clean. I would highly recommend Elsa and we would happily have her sit for us again.
 
GRANT (St Heliers North Island, Apr 2021 - 6 nights)
Eliza was a pleasure to deal with, she took great care of the animals and the house was spotless when we got home - I think both dogs prefer her to us - would happily recommend
 
DAVID (Auckland North Island, Apr 2021 - 4 Days)
Couldn't be faulted, would have her back anytime. Very pleasant to deal with.
