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.

Kia Ora! I love exercising dogs and cuddling cats! Leave me with your house, loved ones and I will attend to them like yourself. Take comfort in enjoying your break with confidence all in order when you return. I'm Emily in my mid 30's, single and a non-smoker - available to house and pet sit for you city wide - ideally near the sea or bush where I can take your loved animal for regular exercise. I’m a responsible, church-going Christian and a female professional. Able to work from the city or from home if required. Even love to leave a treat in the fridge for you when you return. Emily

I've been house-sitting for the past few years off and on and have loved the experience. It's wonderful to for me to help a family out, look after their fur babies and get to enjoy the new surroundings. I've looked after cats, plants and small and medium sized dogs. My last house-sit was for a blind and deaf dog, and he was just adorable! Walking with him took great care, and the owners trusted me with him which was wonderful. I'm used to adapting to the needs of each animal. Another house-sit I did was with 2 cats that were very scared. Keeping the house quiet and approaching them carefully gave them a chance to get used to me very quickly and we had a lovely time together. My kids are older and have left home and it's freed me up to travel and house-sit. My career enables me to do this easily too. I look forward to being of service to you and your home.

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.

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

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 :-)

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

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, 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 opportunity to break the routine of living in one place whilst meeting new people and seeing different places. I'm very familiar with pets. I was raised in a large family and we lived on a large property with groves of trees. Our family pets were cats and later a dog. Homeowners canbe rest assured their house and property will be very well looked after while they're away.

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 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.

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 we absolutely love animals and for a while we've wanted to get our own pet but due to our traveling lifestyle it's nearly impossible at this stage. House-sitting, 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've done house sitting in New Zealand as well as looked after our friends houses and pets all around the world - dogs, cats, pigs, fish rabbits and various avian species (parrots, chicken etc). We also have experience with looking after blind dogs as well as rescue pets 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 good internet connection we are happy to help you out. Hope to hear from you soon, Simon & Marion

We are Zach and Samantha and we are looking forward to providing the best care for your pets and your home while you are away. We are 26 and 27 years old. Samantha works in research commercialisation as an Intellectual Property Coordinator for Plant & Food Research. Zach is completing his postgraduate studies in Occupational Health and Safety while working part-time at Storage King. Growing up with domestic pets in Christchurch as well as sheep, cows, goats and chickens in Bombay (rural South Auckland), we are both well attuned to the needs of domestic and lifestyle block animals. We like to keep active and are both keen runners. We enjoy weekend walks along the beach or in the bush, especially with furry companions involved! We have fairly flexible start and finishing times for our jobs and can ensure that your pets receive the exercise and attention they need to keep them at their happiest. We enjoy providing owners with photos and updates on their pets to give you peace of mind while you are on your holiday. We are trustworthy, reliable and responsible. Please feel free to contact our referees who will be more than happy to vouch for our character and quality of service we have provided for their homes and pets in the past. We look forward to hearing from you.

Last year I threw in my corporate job where I was rated as the best at what I do in the country. I began my own online business which allows me to work from home. With my partner in Rotorua, family and business partner in Nelson, and a strong network in Auckland, I like to base myself in those locations for a few months at a time. I've grown up with animals and actually went to university to become a vet because of this. However, I decided to do business instead and spend time with animals rather than working with them full-time. I've also recently been looking to adopt a dog, but due to only being in the one place for a few months at a time, I felt it wasn't the right environment for one. Having looked after a number of houses and pets now, it has given me a particular level of respect for other people's properties and extended pet family members. I treat them as if they are my own. I like to give them heaps of love and attention. I've also found home owners who have trusted me to sit for them have appreciated the updates and photos of the adventures, me and the pets get up to. Homeowners can expect a tidy, responsible and loving person to look after their house and fury friends. With ex army experience, I am rather tidy and also enjoy exercise. This is also shown in my 100% positive reviews. I'm pretty happy that all my housesits so far have requested for me to comeback. I can ride horses and have owned fish, cats and dogs before. If your dog is good on a leash then I'll be able to take them for morning runs with me too. I can be around the house regularly due to the nature of my online business and enjoy my own space,so there are no worries about misuse of the house. I'm also friendly and can communicate well. If you're happy to provide use of a vehicle then I'll also be happy to take your dog out to the beaches for runs as I love to get out to nature when possible. This is not a requirement, but some owners have their cars set up for the fur babies :-) I'm happy to meet via skype, or if we are in the same location then I'm happy to meet in person too. I know how important it can be to ensure you're comfortable with the person looking after your most prized possessions and animals. Look forward to talking soon. Mike.

Hi there, I'm a mature, experienced and trustworthy house sitter who will respect your home and keep it immaculately clean and tidy. I love animals and I'm extremely competent in looking after both cats and dogs. I also have some experience caring for pets who require medication and also caring for rescued pets who are still a little nervous, anxious & wary settling into new environments or just unsure of new people. I work part-time and as my hours are very flexible and varied I spend a lot of time at home so if you have pets they will be guaranteed plenty of love and attention and as a bonus it's also fantastic security wise for you and your home. I'm available for both short and long term bookings in the Auckland and Hamilton areas. I look forward to hearing from you. Felicity
