Kia Ora! I'm a responsible, kind, goofy pet-whispering professional taking time off to live in NZ and be a student again. My goal is to make your life worry-free when you need to be away from home. I've been a U.S. diplomat for 12 years, but currently taking a break to complete my masters degree in New Zealand (I was posted in Auckland for 3 years and fell in love with the place). 

I love both dogs and cats, and have petsit since I was a wee pup myself, including with Trusted Housesitters in NZ (can provide references here). I love painting, cooking, and exploring new places. Most importantly, I love animals, am tidy, and my school schedule means I'm available a lot to help out!I love animals (and people!), and exploring new areas. As a pet owner, I understand the importance of routine and making pets feel safe, comfortable and loved, so you can expect the same from me. I hope we can meet and see if it's a good fit over a coffee - always happy to meet friendly people! 

Happy to offer housesitting, petsitting, and 30 minute-1 hr dogwalking services. Can watch all animals, but most familiar with cats and dogs.

I am quite active with petsitting currently (THANK YOU!), so my location continues to change (and I will update on the app too). Usually I can be very flexible with location around Auckland, but since a few of these are further away from where I'm normally located, I wanted to add a quick disclaimer about my locations for the next few months, if it is helpful:

Through Nov 5 - Titirangi

Nov 5-Dec 1 - Grey Lynn

December 1-10 - North Shore

December 10-February - Pukekohe
