Hi there! I’m a friendly 42 year old, responsible gal from southern NZ.

I have a wealth of experience with caring for and exercising anxious, reactive dogs, (rescues included), cautious cats and administering pet medications. 

With over fifty successful housesits and positive reviews accomplished, I’m now a proven, professional housesitter. It would be a privilege to care for your pets and property too.

I work from home as a part time, marketing contractor - meaning I'm around for much of the day to keep your pet company. 

Due to my rural upbringing I love animals of all shapes and sizes - your pets needs will always be my priority. 

After growing up on farms I enjoyed a successful corporate career and now live a balanced lifestyle of self employment and travelling. I house and pet sit in the Northern Hemsphere from July to November annually. 

In the past four years I've looked after pets and their properties across NZ and Australia, the Cook Islands, Gibraltar, Sweden, Brunei, United Arab Emirates and the US. I'm respectful of culture and privacy, and can be flexible to work in with your requirements. 

In NZ's warmer months I’m employed by families as a marriage and funeral celebrant. This is a court appointed role, meaning I’m police and character checked annually.

When I'm not spending quality time with pets I enjoy playing guitar and ukulele, finding a good coffee and relaxing outdoors. 

My previous career was in high end hotel and property management meaning your home will be left in immaculate condition. I’m also an avid gardener so tending lawns, houseplants and vegetable patches would be my pleasure!

Hope to hear from you soon.
