Hi, I’m Rachael, 53, calm, caring, and happiest when there’s fur on my clothes and pawprints on the floor. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, a horse, and even six chickens (they woke me at 4 a.m. sharp! No snooze button on a rooster!).

My background spans years of travel and community work across Cambodia, Indonesia, Australia, and more recently, Africa, where I learned patience, adaptability, and the joy of quiet company. I am now spending more time in Auckland, looking after homes and pets while their humans are away.

I’m calm, tidy, and respectful. I treat your pets like family and your space like my own. I enjoy gardening, so weeding and watering are part of the deal, along with morning walks and gentle yoga.

I only host vaccinated pets and promise plenty of love, laughter, and attentive care while you’re away. Your dog and I will likely become best mates, but I promise to give them back! 🐾
