About Jo

I am a responsible, Tauranga lady who absolutely dotes on animals. After losing my precious family member (cat), I decided to start house and pet sitting.

An experienced house and petsitter, I've often been asked to look after my neighbours' animals which have ranged from chickens, sheep and a turtle to dogs and cats. Then they ask me back as people can see how I connect with and look after animals.

As a previous business owner/manager, I lived in the UK for 14 years before returning to NZ 9 years ago. Being responsible and respectful by nature, this is what I looked for when employing a petsitter in my home so I understand the need to have someone you can trust. 

I will send regular updates and photos if you're away on holiday.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions and I look forward to hearing from you!

House Sitting
Athalae, 2024-02-18

Jo was exactly as she states in her profile - conscientious, caring and reliable. Our large family of pets were happy and in great condition when we returned home after a week away. Jo had kept our vege garden tended and left the house immaculately. We appreciated daily updates and photos. We would recommend Jo to anyone who wants a high-quality sitter caring for their home and pets.
