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 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, my name is Morgan. I am a friendly, gentle and caring individual who enjoys business/ property investing, reading and coffee. I am a property manager who enjoys houses and caring for them. I would love a change of scenery and to help fund my new start up business where I can save on rent. I often house sit my mums place when I check on a couple properties I manage in Christchurch and thoroughly enjoy it (I reside in Auckland). I adore animals and caring for them especially being outdoors. In the past I have had a cat and my mum has a dog so having pets around is very comfortable for me. I like to keep the property immaculate and to ensure all tasks are completed and animals are happy. I enjoy living an active, clean and positive way of life and would love to be your next house sitter. Look forward to connecting soon.

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 :-)

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 There, We love looking after pets of all shapes & sizes and have been doing …
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 10 years, originally from being swept up in the Rugby World Cup spirit in 2011, before following the All Blacks to England & Japan in 2015 / 2019, and we now have our eyes set on heading to France in the 2023 Rugby World Cup - hence our need to save our pennies! My girlfriend is obsessed with cats plus loves playing with dogs and I myself one day dream of owning a Dachshund once we end up in a more permanent home - which doesn't sound like it will be anytime soon as we have a move to Wellington on the cards in April 2022 (for work) and are currently looking for opportunities to continue house sitting there. We look forward to meeting you and your pets and hope that you will consider us as your house sitters. Many Thanks, Elliot & Sam

I am a young at heart, mature and responsible travel loving adventurer. I love animals and have had a variety of pets including dogs, cats, fish and birds including chickens, so I understand how hard it can be when you have to leave them with strangers. I used to regularly look after my landlady's pets including a Shitzu, 3 cats, a parrot, a cockatiel and a canary, and I used to run my own cleaning business, so you will come back to a house at least as clean as I found it. My background is in nursing so I am used to administering medication, including insulin, to people and would be willing to learn to administer it to pets if required. In my current business as a freelance Proofreader and Editor all I need is a WiFi connection and I can work from anywhere, which means that your pets will be seeing a lot of me, so more cuddles and exercise for everyone, and more security for your home and for your peace of mind. Previously I worked for nursing and care agencies which involved working in residential homes caring for people, frequently in new environments, so I am used to being able to quickly assess my surroundings and situations and deal with the unexpected when necessary. Every job I have had has required a police check due to the nature of my profession so rest assured that I am responsible and trustworthy. I retired and was also widowed in 2020, so I have plenty of spare time on my hands and am available at fairly short notice. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your home and pets. Regards Jan Given

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

Hello there! My name is Pia Bacino, 29 year old female, lover of the simple and meaningful things in life! I am a full time photographer - weddings over the summer and photographer for businesses in the winter. It's a joy to live a flexible life and be able to house sit for people all across New Zealand. I’ve been house sitting a little over a year now and have had the pleasure of taking care of large and small dogs, cats, horses, sheep and cows. I have loved every single home and enjoyed meeting new owners and falling in love with furry friends... and taking photos of them. During the week, I am found editing and planning new weddings from home or from cafes. On weekends, if I am not shooting, I enjoy hiking, grabbing coffee with a friend or attending creative pottery classes. I am down to earth, relational, tidy and creative. I do not smoke or drink and enjoy rather relaxing, reading, writing, playing guitar, playing board games and walking. I take owners trust seriously and always strive to keep owners in the loop at all times by providing photos and updates. I would LOVE to meet you and connect with you, hear your story and know what is important to you. Above all, I want you to feel reassured that your home and furry friends are safe, comfortable and being loved on. I look forward to hearing from you! Pia

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

I decided to become a pet sitter because I love animals and I can take my work office anywhere. I’m confident in looking after Dogs of any size and have no issues walking and sticking to their routine. I’ve also confident to give medicine to both cats and dogs and I have the ability to transport pets to the vet if that was needed. If I was to house sit for you, you can rest assure, your animals would be loved as I would care for them as if they were my own.

I have recently retired on the 2/10/20 on my own in between houses and not wanting to settle for a while. Very reliable,trustworthy,clean (pedantic even) enjoy exercise with or with out pets. Friendly and out going. I would prefer one small dog who likes lots of walks and cats.

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.

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.

Hello, I am an experienced house sitter and love all types of animals. Animals are relaxed and happy in my care and always get lots of cuddles and attention. I am a New Zealand Citizen and hold a current/valid A1 NZ Police clearance and a private security license. (C.O.A.) (Has been updated since photo - is now current) I work as a full time security Supervisor at a leading learning institution in Mt. Albert Auckland and I live on campus. I am trained in Health & safety/fire prevention. Because I live on Campus I enjoy a change of scenery when caring for pets and homes. This is how I prefer to use my leave. I am friendly, quiet and uncomplicated. My hobbies are photography, travelling, touring in my camper, caring for animals, garden work, reading and movies. I am honest, clean living & very tidy. I respect people's privacy and don't drink alcohol or smoke. I am energy aware so never leave unnecessary lights on and don’t need to use use dishwashers and heaters and fans etc. I like to travel to different areas and always welcome opportunities to housesit out of Auckland, especially in rural areas. I don't have visitors when I am housesitting and prefer to stay in the home pretty much all of the time. When looking after homes and pets I care for them them as I would my own. I am particularly fond of rural settings and farms, and I am familiar with the care of horses, sheep, pigs, and cows and poultry, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Fish and Reptiles and Mice. I understand the need for absolute trust and am very aware of peoples concerns when leaving their homes and pets in my care. In short, I will be: - A healthy & mature person who will stay with your pets and will respect your home. - Someone who holds a senior security position at a Uni in Auckland. - The assurance that your home, pets, garden, garage, cars and all your assets will be safe and secure with a trained and licensed security professional there. - Someone who is easily contactable and traceable. You will find favourable and encouraging referrals on my House sitters profile) If you like I can meet with you first to discuss things at a time that best suits you, so please feel free to call me or send a text message. Something that may suit some people ..... I have a self contained camper so if someone maybe preferred to have someone look after their home & pets but not actually live inside the house - I would be happy to stay in my camper, (a VW Crafter Cargo - not too big) - as long as I had a small area to park it and only needing access to a shower, toilet and kitchen. kind regards, Clive

Hi there, I'm Bridget. I currently work full time in Accounts. I am originally from New Plymouth, growing up on a big farm we always had animals around. I am yoga, reading books, painting and long walks! I'm currently flatting in One Tree Hill with some awesome friends, however, I do like my own space and a change of scene every once and a while so house sitting is a great way for me to escape the often noisy environment of the flat. My friends call me a 'clean freak' – a title I don't mind having and is obviously great when looking after your house! I'm a huge animal lover, you can assure you pets will be well cared for and gets lots of cuddles. I am a respectful and mature and I can assure you, your home and pets will be well cared for. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards Bridget

Hey! My name is Csaba Koszo. I'm easy-going, married Hungarian man in my 40s with a sense of humor, like a diversified life. I grew up in the town, but we had own farm close to our house. I love animals, mainly mammals and I love houses too, because this is my trade: doing renovations, decking etc. as a self-employer. If something goes wrong with the house, I know what I can do. And I have another business, which works through the Internet. I have been living in Auckland for 7,5 years and I did housesitting 14 times here in NZ (13 times include animals: dogs, cat, bird, fishes). We are Christians, got married in June 2019 and my wife moved to NZ also. Hey! My name is Masha (Maria officially). I was born and grew up in Russia, but now I`m living in New Zealand with my husband. I`m a doctor (surgeon and medical sonographer) and now I am looking forward to confirming my diplomas here in NZ. I love animals, we had two cats at home, while I was growing up. Our common hobbies: many different types of sports, playing with pets, reading and travelling. We are looking forward with anticipation to meet you and your little family members. Greetings :) Csaba and Masha
