Laura

Hello, my name is Laura and I am a 33 yo female, born and raised in Christchurch. I grew up on a small lifestyle block/farm with sheep, calves, chickens, dogs and cats (among other smaller pets). 

I am available to housesit overnight for short or long term stays within the Christchurch city area. For Friday-Sunday overnight stays I am open to anywhere within 1-2 hours of Christchurch.

Housesitting experience:

I have been housesitting on and off for about 10 years. Firstly in Christchurch and then in Auckland via The Housesitting Company. In London, I joined Trusted Housesitters where I carried out half a dozen assignments for different families, several of which were return visits. Since being back in NZ (2020) I have carried out approx 12 housesitting assignments.

My motivation for being a housesitter is that I love animals but am not in a position to own one of my own currently. I enjoy meeting different cats and dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. I also enjoy building relationships with people and it's rewarding helping people out when they want to go away on holiday or need care / walking for their pets. 

I consider myself to be a professional and trustworthy person who is friendly and caring. I enjoy getting outdoors for walks or excursions.

I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friends so please get in touch if I sound like the right fit! I always like to do a meet and greet prior to an assignment to ensure you're happy with me, and so are your pets! I can also provide references from previous housesits.

Look forward to hearing from you soon :-)
