Mature Responsible House Sitter & Loving Pet Sitter
About
Hello
I am an expat Kiwi returning to my homeland now that I have retired from the wine industry.
I am looking forward some day to purchasing back here in our gorgeous country but for the foreseeable future I wish to leave my options open and house and pet sit to see where I want to eventually hang my hat.
Animals have always been a part of my life from when I was a child right to today. Mostly dogs but also any stray cat that has landed on my door step. My current feline friend has lived with me for 16 years and having only 3 paws does not stop him from having a great life!
In a past life I very proudly wore the silver fern at Commonwealth Games, World Indoor Games and also selected for Moscow Olympics 1980 track team. Still (unbelievably now 45 years since I ran the time!)) own the NZ 400m record.
I am, of course, a Non-smoker
Very tidy and pedantic about leaving a place tidier than I found it!
A great gardener – love my veggie garden (have had a community garden in USA for 17 years), roses and any plant that attracts bees and butterflies.
Can mow a lawn although do not really want to mow a mountain!
I will LOVE your animals to pieces. Will walk your dog, feed and cuddle you cat and even look after your chickens. I currently own 5 lovely Delaware hens.
As I am now retired you do not need to worry about your pets being lonely during the day. I will be there with them and only leave them for supermarket runs and an odd outing.
I am happy to provide references from both NZ and USA pet sitting jobs I have done. I also have a background check form the FBI I can show you. As a Green Card holder you can imagine the hoops I had to go through to get into USA initially back in 2008. I would of course like to meet with you before hand if possible. At this moment I am in USA but will be back in NZ in late 2025 for any sitting opportunities. I can be contacted via Whats App if you want to see my face!
I look forward to hearing from you.
