Reliable, caring and conscientious
About
I’m a reliable, experienced house and pet sitter with a genuine love for animals, gardening, and the New Zealand outdoors.
I moved to New Zealand over 30 years ago and now proudly call it home. During this time, I spent 22 years living on lifestyle blocks, where I owned and cared for a wide range of animals—horses, dogs, cats, cattle, sheep, and chickens. This hands-on experience means I’m confident with everything from companion pets to larger animals, and I understand the routines and care that keep them happy and thriving. I’m also comfortable recognising when something isn’t quite right and when veterinary attention may be needed.
Professionally, I now work full-time as a Principal Engineer (software) in a fully remote role, following many years in corporate roles in Wellington. I hold a Computer Science degree from Christchurch and am very fond of the South Island. My career reflects a high level of responsibility, organisation, and trustworthiness—qualities I bring to house and pet sitting. Working remotely also means I’m home throughout the day, providing consistent presence, companionship, and care for your pets, while keeping a close eye on your property.
I also enjoy gardening and take pride in maintaining outdoor spaces—whether that’s watering, weeding, or simply keeping things tidy and thriving while you’re away.
Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors—especially horse riding, walking, day tramping, ebiking, and yoga. I’ve also had a few golf lessons and loved it.
As a property owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your home and pets. I treat every home with the same respect and care as my own, ensuring everything is looked after to a high standard so you can relax while you’re away.
