About
Kia ora,
I am a Kiwi, exploring the country again after 12 years based in Whanganui. I am a recent member of NZ House Sitters but an experienced house-sitter having house-sat many properties, pets, and gardens for friends, friends-of-friends, and via other platforms, since the mid-’90s.
(References available on request).
I love animals – i had a black lab for 13 years – and look forward to time spent with animals of all sorts. (Farm animals and horses are ok where only basic care/feeding is required).
I am responsible & conscientious and have held sole charge roles for hotels, event venues, and cinemas, and am accustomed to taking care of unforeseen problems as they arise.
I am non-smoking, fit & healthy, and happy to exercise pets or just keep them company at home. I’m good with plants and capable of maintaining gardens and house-plants as required also. I work/study from ‘home’, or wherever there is wifi, so can work around your pet’s needs.
I am open to sits around Aotearoa, North or South Island. Longer sits preferred (3weeks+), but will consider any duration if it works with existing sits and travel plans 😊
