I've been pet sitting in NZ for 4 years now and love staying with all sorts of pets.
I have finished 100+ housesits with the opportunities to watch: - dogs, cats, fish, chickens, cows, pigs, horses, and goats. I have collected eggs and administered daily medicated baths and medication. Pets usually sit next to me while I'm working and I love the company!
I'm available in the mornings before 8 AM and after 6:00 PM for drop ins and dog walks.
I can administer medication and give baths if requested.
For home visits I can stay for 30 minutes to an hour including checking mail and watering plants.
For dog walking I can do 30 to an hour walk to the local reserve or beach.
While housesitting, I work from home so the house would be secure during the day as well at night. Doors and windows will be locked and any alarm system used if requested.
I have personally owned: rats, snakes, dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and a turtle. We are based in Auckland and are NZ residents so we'd be able to be your house sitters for multiple trips! Why book a couple? If one of us happens to be ill then the other would be able to take up the slack. It also means there is always someone at your home keeping it secure!
I have taken care of rental properties including pool maintenance and yard service. I love working outside and have some experience working with wild animals as I have volunteered for zoos and worked outside on a butterfly farm, as well.
House sitting has been a great opportunity for us and we treat it as such. We're dedicated to keeping your home and lovely pets safe while you're away. We think of pet sitting as having temporary pets until we can have our own pets!
