Epsom
Epsom is popular because of its close location to Auckland CBD, Cornwall Park and pleasant neighbouring suburbs.
Auckland - Central
Auckland Central is a great place to live, work and visit. From the French Weekend Markets in Parnell, to the food trucks, restaurants and special events in the popular Silo Park in downtown Auckland, there is something for everyone. And if you’re tired from the varied and excellent shopping, then you can head to the beautiful beach at Mission Bay for a sit down and a great coffee before heading out again at night to the theatre, the movies or a meal, perhaps at the iconic Sky Tower.

Hi Everyone, My name is Trish I am an outgoing friendly mature female. I was born in Taupo, NZ, having spent most of my life living in Auckland with a couple of years here and there living in Western Australia and Melbourne. Since 2010 I have been studying part-time and working full-time, my goal in doing this is to progress towards a complete career change which I am slowly working towards. I love visiting people's homes, I am always fascinated by the architecture & design of a home, and the many varied ways of furnishing a home. When I look back on my life I realise that I have been a house sitter for quite a number of years dating back to when I was around 19, along with one of my best friends we looked after a house for an older married couple with children and pets that we knew that had gone away for a couple of days. I have had nothing but great experiences with past house sitting and looking after pets, children and occasionally the elderly as well. I grew up with 2 cats, a dog and goldfish, this experience has enriched my life in some many ways. I love pets having had cats and dogs of my own in the past. I am fairly quiet and I work regular hours in the CBD. Being quite a private person myself I am very respectful of people's privacy and belongings and therefore I would treat your pets and your home with the utmost respect. I appreciate the time you took in reading this, have a wonderful day. Kind Regards Trish

Hi, my name is Erin. I am highly organised, motivated and reliable. I enjoy running 2-3 times a week and going for walks. I had worked in the aviation sector for 16 years and was made redundant because of Covid-19. I'm heading back to University part time to complete a Paramedicine degree and working casually. This will give me the flexibility to pick the hours I work. I've just moved out of my flat of 9 years that I rented and loved. I have been a house sitter a few times for friends and have also looked after my parents house many times who have my 18 year old cat Oscar, that thinks he's a human. He is starting to go deaf and has dementia, but is still very noisy and rules the house. (Picture of him attached). We always had a pet when growing up. We rescued Romaria off the streets in Brazil (photo attached of her). We also had a German Shepherd named Layka (photo attached) but sadly we could not bring her back to New Zealand. I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will love your animals like they are my own and make sure they get lots of love and attention.

We always had dogs and cats when I was growing up so I'm comfortable with having them around and looking after their needs. I house-sat for some friends and their two beautiful dogs over the winter of 2018 and decided I wanted to continue doing it for others. I'm a self-employed entrepreneur and can work online from anywhere. I enjoy the variety of moving around and experiencing different places. Because I work from home I'm able to be there a lot of the time to keep an eye on things and keep your pets company. I'm tidy, self-sufficient and responsible with other people's property. My motto is 'leave things the way I found them'. I look forward to meeting your beloved pets :-)

We love animals and since our beloved family cat Casey passed away last year we feel privileged and fulfilled by spending quality time with so many amazing pets from some of New Zealand’s most unique places though Housesitting. I (Zlata) am currently completing New Zealand Certificate in Animal Care (Companion Animal) which covers all aspects of animal care including health, hygiene, behaviour, and handling. I’ve gained the applied knowledge and skills to care for a wide range of companion animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, reptiles, and birds, in a variety of settings including your home, pet shops, kennels, animal shelters and catteries. As part of my course requirement I’ve completed over 40 hours practical experience at Tauranga SPCA learning the best practices in the most rewarding yet challenging of environments, which has prepared me well to care for your precious companions while you are away. My partner Clinton and myself are committed to providing the best care and attention for your family pet while you are away, so you don’t need to feel any anxiety or stress about leaving. We treat animals as our own and pride ourselves on making it easier for you and your beloved pet(s) during your time away. We are in a very unique position to be able to live and work from remote places thanks to our internet business www.Interlike.app. Clinton’s daughter spent last year in Spain after finishing high school in Auckland where we rented the same house on Jervois Road in Herne Bay for the past 12 years, she is now about to start University in Wellington this year so we are ‘free birds’ so to speak while saving for our first home. We enjoy flexible work hours and can adapt to any new routine quickly and easily including caring for any special animal requirements. Clinton's background is in commercial film and photography, so if you enjoy being updated with cute videos and photos of your pet enjoying their daily routines then you are in for a real treat. We go out of our way to make sure animals are happy so capturing and sharing these special moments with you while you’re away is our heartfelt pleasure. We are truly grateful for all the pets we have cared for and the families we have helped thanks to Housesitting. Now we are both looking forward to hearing from you and learning how we can make a difference for your fur baby(s) too! Zlata & Clinton

Hi! We're Danielle and Eamonn. We started house-sitting through family friends, and found that we loved it! We love getting to know different suburbs and different pets. Eamonn is a massive dog lover (but Danielle won't let him get one yet), so house-sitting satisfies his canine cravings. Danielle is the cat lover in the relationship, so between us, we've got pets covered! Our motto is to always leave a house-sit better than we found it. Whether it's your pet, your kitchen or your garden you most need looking after, we are proud to always leave it happier, cleaner or greener than when you left. We are really grateful for every house sit we attend and understand that it is your home - so if you have any specific requirements (which most people do), do let us know. Let us know if you have any questions or need more information - we are always happy to help. Danielle and Eamonn

I am a 40 year-old professional, single woman, well-traveled, multilingual. I have been in NZ for 14 years (I am an NZ citizen) and would love to own my house one day but we all know how hard it is to get into the housing market at the moment so I thought house sitting would be a great opportunity to both save money towards buying a house, get to experience living in various areas of Auckland and have the company of pets I would love to have myself, but can not afford at the moment (very hard to have pets when renting). I love animals, I grew up with animals and house pets (from sheep, cows, pigs and poultry to rabbits), we always had dogs and cats so I am very familiar to looking after almost any animal and enjoy their company very much. Personally, I am independent, mature, honest and responsible, highly organized, very clean and tidy, respectful and resourceful and can live out of a suitcase :) I am highly active and walking/running the dogs would not be a chore :) I grew up in a house, then owned an apartment, so I am familiar with looking after a house/garden/plants and animals. Please have a look through my references and feel free to call the referees who will be more than happy to provide you with more information about my character and skills as house sitter/pet minder. I would love to meet you and your pets and hope that you will consider me as your house sitter.

Hi my name is Pam, I am 42 and have been living in Auckland for 8 years following a move from Scotland. I work for a small engineering consultancy in the mt Eden area. I am responsible and respectful and would like to help others by looking after their property as if it was my own and pets while they are away, giving them peace of mind to enjoy their break. I am friendly and trustworthy and adore animals. I am sure your pets will enjoy my company just as much as I will enjoy theirs. Equally I am happy to look after your property without the company of pets, furbabies are a bonus! I have always had animals in my life, from my grandparents cat smokey and their dog candy to my own two cats back in Scotland, a housecat in Mt Eden. I own my own property back in Scotland which I rent out so I am well aware that you need the right person to look after your home. I am a very clean, organised and responsible person. I work weekdays 9-5 and have a car. I am a bit of a homebody and enjoy pottering and tidying. I also enjoy reading, running and most recently have bought a pushbike. My goals for house-sitting are to save towards a deposit on my first home in New Zealand and soak up the company of your pets, I know how hard it is to take pets the cattery and kennels when you are going on a trip, and the unsettlement that you feel taking them out of their home environment. I am also competent if your pet needs medication, I had a cat with diabetes who required two insulin injections daily. My references are my company director and my Principal Engineer who I have previously housesat for, please do contact them if you wish, both have known me a very long time. Please call me to chat about your housesitting requirements. Also see my reviews from previous sits.

Dear homeowners, We are a couple in our mid 30's. Born in Europe, Estonia but for the last 9 years we've lived mainly in between Australia and New Zealand. We have joined the house-sitting family because it gives us a great opportunity to explore different parts of New Zealand while spending time with some amazing animals. Also, it feels good to help out busy homeowners who wish to take a break or holiday without having to worry about their pets and home :) We absolutely love animals and for a while we've wanted to get our own dog but due to our lifestyle it's nearly impossible at this stage. Looking after someone else's pet(s) is the second best thing to owning a dog. We've done house sitting in New Zealand as well as looked after our friends houses and pets all around the world - dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits and various avian species (parrots, chicken etc). We also have experience with looking after rescue dogs and think that there is nothing more rewarding than getting some love back from them. Growing up our families have owned dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish and even frill necked lizard. Looking after animals comes to us naturally, they truly are humans best mates. By choosing us to look after your home and extended family members we can assure you that both of them are well looked after. We would respect your home and care for your pets as they were our own. PS: As we both work from home it doesn't really matter whether your home is - in a city, suburban area or even in the outback. As long as you have internet access we are happy to help you out. Hope to hear from you soon, Simon & Marion

My name is Rodney and after many years of business ownership and a busy lifestyle, it's time for me to settle down and enjoy all the wonderful things semi retired life has to offer me. I am a single gentleman who has had the opportunity to do some house sitting for several familys both here and overseas. I have begun to enjoy this experience, having the freedom to travel and explore different areas of our country and the islands with all the home comforts and without the accomodation bills! I have always owned and loved the company of pets however at my age having the full time responsibility of pet ownership is a lot to take on, house sitting gives me the opportunity to enjoy the comfort of a furry friend, and keeps them happy and active while their owners are away! I have had cats and dogs in the city and also spent a lot of time on a farm taking care of stock so I am comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes and energy levels! At home I enjoy gardening and have always taken great pride in my properties, I love to cook and I keep a very tidy household and you will know that when I am looking after your home, I will treat it with respect. Your pets, property and plants will be well taken care of as if they were my own. I hope you think of me for your next house sitting opportunity, please feel free to look at my references and I hope to have the privilege of taking care of your property and pets in future!

I'm a single 34 year old female from Auckland. I'm currently contracting, so don't want to commit to a new lease for a place of my own at the moment. Plus - I'm looking to get on the property ladder in mid/late 2020. I work in HR (have done for 10 years), originally from Epsom, NZ, but have lived in London for a couple of years. For most of my life I've had a golden Labrador - first was Tess (lived to 17), second was Katie (lived to 13.5 - pictured). Very much missing having a dog in my life, as I love going for walks and like having someone excited to see me when I get home! I can look after all pets, however I am a dog lover (my photos may attest to this). I've also lived in a flat with a cat (no allergies) and am happy caring for them too. Non smoker, non party-er (introvert), super clean and tidy, hobbies are going to the gym and reading. I own a car - so last minute travel is ok too. References by request :)

I’ve finally reached the point where I can work remotely with minimal need to go into an office (I’m a director of several companies) and so am now going to spend a few months getting around NZ after a couple of decades abroad - I definitely have not seen enough of my own country!! Both through childhood and as an adult, pets have always been a part of my life. Primarily I have owned and cared for dogs and cats, but my experience extends through horses, fish and most things in between. I am a responsible considerate person of sober habits. I take considerable pride in both myself and my home and will treat both your property and your pets as though they were my own.

Hi, I'm a mature responsible person. I'm highly educated and well-travelled. I lived and visited many countries including USA, Dubai, Turkey, and Malaysia. I'm very organized, tidy, very clean, honest, sociable, and caring. I'm a non-smoker and non-alcoholic. The reason I like to house sit is that it gives me the opportnity to break the routine of living in one place whilest meeting new people and seeing diiferent places. I'm very familiar with pets. I was raised in a big family with a big land/grove of trees and used to have cats and later a dog. Homeowners will be rest assured their house and property will be very well looked after while they're away.

Hi There, I am a mature (43) female who loves spending time in a yoga/Pilates studio, our running up mountains or cuddled up on a couch watching TV. I work during the day as a Administration Manager for a large Transport Company. I also work part time doing Administration for one of the studios I exercise in (This is web based work that can be done from anywhere). My family home is in Ruakaka and I house sit in Auckland during the week so that I can work in Auckland. I am however happy to spend weekends in Auckland when I am house-sitting as it gives me a chance to do more yoga. I have been house sitting previously looking after chickens, cats, dogs, fish, turtles. I have looked after animals that required medication and also a dog that had Separation Anxiety Disorder. I have looked after Corgis, Collies, large poodles. I love both large and small dogs and enjoy getting out for daily walks. I am described in my references by homeowners as trustworthy, reliable, quiet and diligent who has a high respect to animal care. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards Cat.

Hi There, We love looking after pets of all shapes & sizes and have been doing so house sitting full time since February 2018. Having grown up in both urban & rural environments we are constantly asked to look after peoples pets & homes and if it wasn't for the need for us to relocate up to Auckland we would certainly be settled with some pets of our own. We moved up to Auckland to pursue some career opportunities which came up somewhat out of the blue and hence we have decided to make the move with only our suitcases to our name and house sitting enables us to save some money on rent and have fun looking after some wonderful animals. We have been together for over 8 years, originally from being swept up in the Rugby World Cup spirit in 2011, before following the All Blacks to England to defend their title in 2015, and we now have our eyes set on heading to Japan 2019 Rugby World Cup - hence our need to save our pennies! My girlfriend is obsessed with cats and loves playing with dogs and I myself one day dream of owning a Dachshund once we return to our home in the South. As well as getting to look after some amazing homes & animals house sitting also gives us the opportunity to see all corners of the Auckland and we are not afraid of a decent commute where necessary. We look forward to meeting you and your pets and hope that you will consider us as your house sitters. Many Thanks, Elliot & Sam

Your pets will be well loved and nurtured and your home well cared for when you choose me to look after things during your time away. Knowing your home is in the safe hands of mature, experienced sitter with good common sense and a can-do attitude to any issues that may arise, gives you the peace of mind needed to thoroughly enjoy your trip. Your pets will be snuggled as much as they wish, dogs enthusiastically walked if required and your valuable home treated with great respect. With experience in looking after and nurturing pets from 3kg Puppies to 500kg Horses, Chickens, Kittens and elderly Cats with very specific requirements and medications etc, your pets needs will be well catered for and they will feel safe and secure whilst you're away. Previous owners I have sat for (with & without pets) are happy to be contacted for references. Please feel free to call to chat about your sitting requirements to see if I may be of assistance to you. Warm regards Louise
