Trusted Pet & House Sitter

28, Freelance Photographer / Musician

Hey lovely people!

My name is Danielle! I am a 28 year old photographer, musician & artist! I have been traveling the world solo for 3 years now and feel overjoyed to be settling here in New Zealand! What a blessing of a life!! My plan is to continue exploring each city as a potential place to live. Currently I am in the Nelson region explore the suburbs here!

I started my house sitting journey in Australia with a beautiful Border Collie and fell in love with the whole process! When I came to NZ, I knew that house sitting for others was the perfect way for me to spend time with beautiful animals while getting to know the areas!

Here's the layout of my experience so far within New Zealand:

Sandringham - 3 weeks, 2 cats

I am so grateful for every opportunity I've had so far and I am very excited to continue this house sitting journey for many years to come!

I love looking after animals and giving them lots of attention & snuggles - especially being a solo traveler - there’s nothing like some cute animals to cheer up my day and give me some company!

Growing up we had gorgeous little Shih Tzu dog named, Nina! Over the years I’ve gained extensive experience looking after dogs, cats and fish. I bring a calm, loving, attentive spirit which helps form a unique connection with animals straight away!

A few more things to note ~

I'm originally from the USA! While living there I used to run my own Airbnb! I was also the Property Manager for my family's rentals which gave me extensive experience with looking after homes!

I adore ALL animals but I got to say, cats have been my spirit animal!

I am a quiet person with a very relaxed schedule. I am mostly on vacation this year which gives me heaps of time to be at home with your fur babies. I do not smoke, drink or party. My happy place is being out in nature in silence!

Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat! Excited to speak with you about caring for your home / pets / plants!

Cheers,
Danielle 🌻

Danielle has been such a great house and more importantly pet sitter. Going away for nearly 6 weeks and leaving your fur babies can be a bit stressful. Our rescue dog in particular is not great with new people, but Danielle was so good with him, and he seemed to take to her calm presence immediately. We felt lucky to find Danielle, it allowed us to have a holiday and not worry at all. We came home to a happy cat and dog, happy house plants and a lovely clean home. Communication was great while ... MORE

Danielle was fantastic at communicating. She ensured there was an easy transition of her taking over the care of my pets and house. She sent regular updates of the animals and left the house spotless. I would recommend her as an A1 sitter. Lana

Danielle is a delightful and highly organised person with excellent communication skills. We were impressed by her attention to detail during the sit, her regular feline updates and the genuine care she demonstrated. We highly recommend Danielle as a 5 star house and pet sitter.
 
SARAH (Lynfield North Island, Jan 2024 - 6 nights)
Danielle was an amazing house sitter for us! She communicated well, sent updates on our house and cats as well as being very accommodating whilst having our gardener and cleaner turn up. We came back to our house spotlessly clean and some very happy healthy cats! Thanks again Danielle, all the best with your travels in NZ
 
EMILY (Auckland North Island, Dec 2023 - 3 weeks)
Wow - Danielle was amazing we couldn’t rate her high enough - when you arrive home and your fur babies are so content and happy you know they have been well looked after. We would definitely welcome Danielle back she was amazing
 
MARY (Queenstown South Island, Dec 2023 - 4 nights)
Danielle was a fantastic and Ollie and Velvet absolutely loved her. Danielle was very easy to communicate with and sent lots of photos. I would highly recommend and hope she will house sit for us again.
 
JOANIE (Stanmore Bay North Island, Dec 2023 - 2 nights)
Danielle was awesome and took the best care of our chocolate Lab, even getting her to the vet for an arthritis injection while we were away. Great communications and pix via whatsapp during our holday. :) Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Danielle for future house sits.
 
CHRIS (Millwater North Island, Nov 2023 - 3 weeks)
If I could give 6 stars for Danielle, then I would do so. Her calming nature meant our 4 year old cat fell in love with her immediately. Over the period of a month that we were away, Danielle regularly updated us and for the first time ever I did not worry about the wellbeing of our pet! Additionally, the house was kept beautifully. Danielle is tidy, efficient and a wonderful communicator and I cannot recommend her highly enough to care for someone’s home and animals. The only problem is ... MORE
 
LYNDA (Parnell North Island, Sep 2023 - 4 weeks)
We were thrilled to have Danielle house-sit for us for 3 weeks, focusing on caring for our 2yr old Ragdoll cat, Ari. Her communication was fantastic, giving regular updates that warmed our hearts while we were missing our lil man. It was evident Ari adored her and quickly felt comfortable with her presence. On our return, our home was immaculate—clean and tidy, it was evident that she took great care in ensuring everything was just perfect for when we returned. It made transitioning back ... MORE
 
SELINA (Arkles Bay North Island, Aug 2023 - 2 weeks 6 nights)
Dannielle is an amazing sitter. Clover loved her and was very well taken care of. The house was also beautiful and tidy when I got home.. Highly recommend Dannielle for your pet and house sit needs, her sunny nature will have your pets feeling right at home in no time. :-)
 
RONNIE (Bayview North Island, Aug 2023 - 2 weeks 3 nights)
Danielle was very easy to communicate with and accommodating to times for handover of keys etc. Our house was left very clean and tidy. The animals were very happy when we arrived home so well cared for by Danielle. Highly recommend.
 
DAVID (Poike North Island, Apr 2023 - 3 days)
Danielle looked after our home, plants and kitty for a few days in October. Communication was easy, and we came home to our house just as we left it. She wasn't available for the entire time we were away so she even stopped by again later to pop a parcel inside and check on our kitty and plants. Highly recommend.
 
KYRA (Khandallah North Island, Jan 2023 - 4 days)
Danielle was just the perfect house sitter and looked after everything with so much love and care I don't think my animals wanted her to leave! She left the house spotless and we were incredibly impressed with her. She sent regular updates and photos and also helped with late parcels arriving after Christmas and redirecting parcels that had been sent to our address by accident. I really can't recommend Danielle enough to look after your house, she is amazing! Thanks for providing us with a ... MORE
 
JOANNA (Strathmore Park North Island, Dec 2022 - 3 weeks)
We absolutely loved Danielle from the time I spoke to her on the phone, meeting and the whole experience. Cats thought she was marvelous and Danielle took great care of the house. Can't thank you enough for looking after my babies. Highly recommend Danielle for any housesit experience.
 
JODI (Waitangirua North Island, Oct 2022 - 2 weeks 6 days)
Danielle is a super positive and friendly house/petsitter and she was very easy to communicate with. She took great care of our house and cat and we would love to have her housesit again if she is available.
