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.

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

Having lived overseas and run companies for many years, I am extremely reliable and professional. An animal lover having a Dogue de Bordeaux who is still living overseas with family. My children are boarding at Kings and St Cuthbert’s so frequent visits to Auckland are in the diary for myself and Housesitting would be mutually beneficial for both myself and homeowners. Since childhood I have had extensive experience caring for animals, having owned dogs, rabbits, a cat and enjoyed horseriding. I am also the first to take in anyones pets who are going away, including dogs, kittens/cats, guinea pigs, and fish. Owning my own homes over the years I take pride and care of my properties and others, and throughly enjoy the company of animals and believe they need consistency in their own homes and to be absolutely adored whilst their families are away.

Hi there! My name is Victoria Holgate, and my partner and I (Patrick Jeffery) are looking to do some house sitting in Auckland between now and the end of 2019. We are both reliable, friendly, non-smokers who love pets. We are both 27 years old, working full time (Education and Property Management). I grew up on a farm so am used to looking after all kinds of animals, and both of us enjoy going for daily walks if the customer has any dogs! We've been trusted to look after other people's homes and pets a number of times, and always keep up with the housekeeping and outside maintenance. More than happy to come over and have a chat, Victoria and Patrick

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, 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.

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.

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.

I’m a 28 year old female looking to house sit to save money for my own place (and a pet of my very own too). I’m an animal lover so will love to get to know your precious pals! I grew up near Palmerston North with 3 cats (my black and white moggie Patch was the best cat ever). I also had bunnies as a kid and pet sheep. My parents have a Siamese so I’m used to attitide. Sadly after moving to Auckland, it’s hard to find flats allowing pets so I’ve had to sacrifice getting one of my own. I’ve been house sitting for the last couple of months and have been loving it. It’s been nice to have animals around again! I’ve become accustom to daily doggo walks, and the extra attention from the animals. I’m very respectful and will take care of your house as of it were my own. As for your pets.. I’ll spoil them like a favorite Aunty and give them plenty of play time and cuddles.

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 :)

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.

Tina & Tom We are a quiet, mature couple and love animals, we have both owned cats and dogs in the past but now look forward to caring for other peoples’ precious fur babies. Tina was born in England and immigrated to New Zealand when she was 22 yrs old. Tom was born in Remuera, Auckland and is a retired Accountant. Tina is a Registered Naturopath and presently has a clinic on Remuera Road. We are fussy about maintaining a good house and we would like others to be confident that their place will be well looked after and their pets likewise. We’ve always enjoyed travelling and meeting new people and this is an opportunity to continue that desire. We believe in caring for our planet and environment and therefore prefer to use more natural cleaning products. We are tidy and considerate, enjoying various music styles from classical to rock, reading, walking in the parks and watching movies. Why We Want to House Sit We have been living in Tom’s son’s house for the last 12 months but he has recently remarried and he and his new wife are moving overseas to England and therefore putting the house on the market. Our Experience We have engaged in House/pet Sitting over the years for various friends. Please see our references and feel free to contact them, I’m sure they will be happy to vouch for our character and skills as Housesitters and pet minders. We would love to meet you and your pets and hope that you will consider us as your Housesitters. .

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.

Hiya! My name is Ruby, I have just finished my degree at AUT. Studying a bachelor of communication design. Aka Graphic Design. Motivated, respectful, and driven individual! Lover of animals, new environments, change, and caring for others places! I have been house sitting for around 3 years now, new spaces to work, relax, and look after, fulifl my sense of independence and care. I am a bubbly uplifting character, aiming to please and succeed in every role set upon myself. I currently live at home on the Stanmore Bay Peninsular, nannying on the ones off's (which not only comes with the role of caring for a child - but pets too) and currently work as a video editor and graphic design freelancer. I love exercise, walking, being in the outdoors. Caring for both living environments and my wellbeing go hand in hand, so always make it a priority to live in a tidy clean environment. I have been very dedicated to my course, which I have now completed. Looking at entering the design industry early 2020. A house sitting role would be a way for me to: - Care for a furry animal - Look after someone’s beloved home - Be independent and explore a new environment/area -With the added bonus of having my own space with a cuddle buddy In terms of experience, I have looked after family friends places, and had three jobs with this company (since been registered April 2018) I’ve had multiple pets growing up, so understand the care and attention needed for animals. Can deal with large or small animals with a controlled mature manner. A homeowner can expect me to be reliable, responsible and flexible to their needs. Caring for their belongings and catering to all their wants, needs and pets desires to my best ability with full communication and trust. Thanks so much for taking the time to read, Kindest Regards Ruby
