Your Friendly Sitter

59, Client Liaison / Admin Manager

***Fully vaccinated with double boosters***

Your home will be looked after with the utmost care and respect, as will your much-loved pet/s; with the goal being to ensure they're not stressed or anxious whilst you need to be elsewhere. Their needs take priority and should do too.

I particularly love cats, especially the inquisitive ones with heaps of personality and character but also love the delicate ones who need special one-on-one time to feel reassured in your absence, along with those who have clocked up a few years and need to be respected, loved, and given time to simply be.

I like small dogs with bold personalities and also appreciate the character and energy of larger ones. The very mature dogs, or those with special requirements, are treasures to be respected and allowed to keep their own pace in life, whatever that may be.

I am more of a homebody and enjoy quiet times. This allows me great flexibility to be on-hand for pets and their home-based routines. I am very houseproud, honest, and reliable. Non-smoker and sober habits. I enjoy my privacy and totally respect yours. I provide my own linen and supplies, which helps me to leave your home pristine for your return.

I work remotely for a support agency in the bay of plenty so my only needs are good phone reception and wifi. This new way of working allows me great flexibility to meet the needs of your home and pets.
Many adventures to be had and fury friends to be met. Love it!

I look forward to talking with you about the possibility of exploring the location you and your pets lovingly call 'home'.

As a longstanding full-time housesitter, I often apply for multiple housesits in various regions. This can also mean that I can arrange to meet you in person prior to your housesit, otherwise, I am happy to have face-time and phone calls in the interim.

Thanks for reading my profile and hope to hear from you soon.

Take special care and kind regards
Juanita

Juanita was an absolute joy taking care of Benji my 3 year old Shihpoo and my home. Look forward to having her sit again
 
LYN (Tawhero North Island, Apr 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
Had a delightful time with Benji (dog) at Lyn's gorgeous home. Benji is a lovely companion, always up for a walk, a game of fetch, or a cuddle with a belly rub - such a boy! Lyn is friendly and easy to communicate with, Hope to cross paths again in the future 🌻Thank you for having me.
Juanita was fantastic in caring our home. The house was left immaculate when we arrived home. Cats , Chickens and steers also were all happy. Would highly recommend Juanita to anyone. Only too happy have her sitting again in the near future.
 
MARK & JUDY (Feilding North Island, Mar 2024 - 1 week 5 nights)
Had twelve lovely days at Mark & Judy's beautiful lifestyle home. All the animals (2 cats, 4 chickens, 3 steers, and one pet sheep) were delightful, and without any issues. Peaceful and relaxing housesit and would happily sit again if required. Thanks for having me.
Juanita has been simply amazing with attention to every detail, much more than expected. Our dogs were very settled, communication excellent, extremely well looked after, even took one to the vet & gave medication. The garden was well maintained and our house immaculate. We are still finding examples of Juanita’s amazing qualities. We look forward to having her again in the future.
 
ANNE (Pirimai North Island, Feb 2024 - 4 weeks)
Had a lovely month in Napier at Anne & Richard’s beautiful home, caring for Smudge, Chance, and Coco. Three sweet Dachshunds with distinctive personalities who were a delight to get to know and spend time with. Always up for a walk, cuddle, and a belly rub, they are a perfect trio for ... MORE
Juanita did an amazing job looking after our house and our cat, Bruce for the weekend. She had great communication, was very professional, and left the house tidier than we'd left it. Would highly recommend Juanita and wouldn't hesitate to book her again!
 
NICOLA (Havelock North North Island, Feb 2024 - 2 nights)
Had a delightful time with Bruce (cat) for a couple of days. Bruce was very well-behaved, and great company. Nicola and Dane's home is lovely, peaceful, and private. Communication and instructions were clear and easy to follow. Would happily stay again and chill out with Bruce. It was a pleasure to ... MORE
We were so happy to have Juanita stay at our place. We had excellent communication with her before she arrived and during her stay. Nothing was a problem and she left the house and gardens immaculately clean and tidy. Even the cutlery drawers got a tidy up. If the dogs could speak I’m sure they would agree wholeheartedly with how much we appreciated having her here. Juanita is welcome back anytime 🤗
 
ANDREA (Takapau North Island, Feb 2024 - 1 week 5 nights)
Had thirteen lovely days at Andrea & Pete’s beautiful home and property. Baldy & Rip (dogs) were great companions. Baldy is a gentleman and most obedient, and Rip is young and finding his feet in the world, and most entertaining. Communication was good and clear instructions were provided. Would be ... MORE
Juanita is the perfect house sitter*********** The house was left in perfect condition. Walter the dog was happy. The gardens were cared for. Id recommend Juanita to every one. I hope to use here again this year.
 
VALERIE (VAL) (Taradale North Island, Jan 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
Had ten lovely days with Walter, who was very good, super cute, and loved his walks in the park. Val was great with communication and her home is lovely and peaceful, private, and in a nice location with easy access to everything you need. Would happily return to sit again in the future when in the ... MORE
Juanita was an absolute delight to deal with from start to finish. Her communication was fantastic and the care she took of our home and animals whilst we were away was amazing - all the animals are missing her! When we got back the house was extremely clean and tidy and Juanita had also done a lot of gardening work so the outside of the house was looking amazing too. I can't recommend Juanita enough and would love to have her back if we go travelling again.
 
SARAH (Masterton North Island, Dec 2023 - 4 weeks)
Rating: 5.0 YOUR REVIEW OF THEM: My five-week housesit for Sarah and her family in the Wairarapa was lovely. Milo (dog) was a pleasure to share time with. He’s very loyal and friendly and we enjoyed lovely walks exploring the neighborhood, which is semi-rural and pretty. Skyler & Phoenix (cats) ... MORE
Very happy having Juanita stay and look after our fur babies. House was spotless when we returned and animals happy as larry. Loved getting pics and regular updates while we were away :-)
 
NICOLE (West End North Island, Dec 2023 - 4 nights)

Second time sitting for Rosalie, having sat for ten days in Sept/Oct. Delightful time with Storm (dog) exploring the coastline on daily walks and adventures. Nikita & Zinc (cats) are a delightful pair, always up for a chat and grooming sessions. The Ladies (hens) love a pat and will reward you with ... MORE
Snoopy loved his time with Juanita and I felt so comfortable knowing he was at home in his safe place! Juanita left the house in pristine condition and sent me a few cute pics and check ins while I was away which I really appreciated as I missed my fur baby! Everything went perfectly and I’m so grateful for her help while I was away! Highly recommend!
 
DANNI (Marfell Taranaki North Island, Oct 2023 - 2 weeks)
Juanita looked after our house and 2 special needs cats for 10 days. We arrived home to a spotless clean house. The cats were very well looked after. We found Juanita very friendly and professional. Put my mind at ease about a stranger caring for our much loved fur babies. I can't speak highly enough of her. Would highly recommend Juanita for your pets and house
 
ALICIA (Rotorua North Island, Sep 2023 - 1 week 3 nights)
Juanita was the best house sitter we could of asked for. She looked after our pets very well and the house was lovely and clean when we arrived home. We highly recommend Juanita to others. She is very honest trustworthy and reliable with great communication. We would love to have her back again in the future.
 
VIRGINIA AND STEVE (Ashhurst North Island, Apr 2023 - 4 days)
Juanita was excellent, Floyd enjoyed her company. Came home to a happy cat and the house was immaculate! Good communication with regular updates while we were away. Would recommend to anyone and both us and Floyd would welcome her back with open paws and purrs!
 
BECKS (Martinborough North Island, Mar 2023 - 2 weeks 5 days)
From the start we knew that our pets and home would be in good hands with Juanita, and we were able to go to our sons wedding without a single worry. The house was spotless when we returned with a finishing touch of fresh flowers, and the animals were so chilled out it was obvious they hadn’t missed us at all! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this lovely lady. Many, many thanks.
 
CLARE (Okato North Island, Mar 2023 - 6 days)
Juanita was such a good communicator that we were up to date with the whole process of enlisting Juanita and reassuring ourselves that she was happy while we were away. We came home to find the house immaculate - extremely clean and tidy. A great experience.
 
CAROL (Bell Block North Island, Feb 2023 - 2 weeks 5 days)
Juanita was 100% amazing! She left the house immaculate, and she provided regular updates via text (with photos) of our kitties so we wouldn't be worrying about them while we were away. Our cats are old and one of them requires twice-daily medicine, but that was obviously no trouble for Juanita. She's also a great communicator, responding to messages quickly throughout our contact with each other. We would absolutely without question love to have her housesit for us again in the future :-)
 
DANNY (Masterton North Island, Feb 2023 - 1 week 2 days)
Juanita was fantastic. We were so pleased to see our cats so relaxed. Gardens & Tubs had been watered & looking good. House was spotless and presented lovely. Communication was great. Highly recommend Juanita and will definitely be staying in touch for future sits. Thank you for taking such good care of our cats & home.
 
LINDA (Opunake North Island, Dec 2022 - 4 days)
Juanita did an amazing job looking after our home and cherished cat Tigger. We received regular feedback on the how things were going and came home to an immaculately clean home. We will happily engage with her again!
 
GEOFF AND ALISON (Bluff Hill North Island, Nov 2022 - 1 week 6 days)
Juanita was beyond amazing and we are so grateful for her love and care for both our animals and our home. Communication was excellent, easy and efficient, Would highly recommend Juanita without hesitation. Thank you again!
 
NIKITA (Palmerston North North Island, Nov 2022 - 1 week 2 days)
We were very happy to have Juanita house sit and look after our pets who were healthy and happy on our return. She was a very good communicator, left the house clean and tidy and we would highly recommend her. The fact she did some work from home was a bonus as our dog Ollie loves company. Juanita was happy to take time to walk Ollie as being a border collie he needs to get our and about daily. Thank you Juanita - you were just what we were looking for.
 
LYNN (New Plymouth North Island, Oct 2022 - 1 week 6 days)
Juanita is a wonderful house sitter. I highly recommend her. She is responsible and experienced and took very good care of my home and pet. It was a pleasure to meet her and leave my home in her care. Everything was immaculate on my return and I look forward to meeting her again and would ask her to house sit again.
 
ANNA (Greytown North Island, Sep 2022 - 4 weeks)
I want Juanita to housesit for us every time we go anywhere. She cared for our pets and home far better than we could have expected - coming home to find so many things cleaned and tidied was an absolute dream! I cannot recommend her enough, and I think I'll be keeping her on speed dial!
 
MICHELLE (Masterton North Island, Dec 2021 - 1 week 1 day)

SHIRLEY (Mt Maunganui North Island, Jan 2020 - 1 week 4 days)
Juanita cared for our house from the 3rd to the 7th of January and we came home to very happy cats, a lovely cleaned home ( all the washing done ) and we'd recommend Juanita as a first rate sitter who we would happily use again.
