Albany
Albany is a place of growth in Auckland with new dwellings seeing an increase in people arriving to live in this popular suburb.
Auckland - North Shore
Auckland’s North Shore is a popular place for people to live in due to its stunning beaches, great shopping and cafes, places to walk dogs, and much more. The homes are a mixture of old and new, and there are plenty of sporting facilities. Another great aspect to the Shore is its variety of suburbs. For house sitters and homeowners, it is an excellent place to be, whether it is the seaside location of Devonport, or the beach vibe of Takapuna.

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

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 last year 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

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

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 there! My name is Sarah and I am have returned home to NZ after spending 2.5 years travelling around England and Europe. Whilst away I provided live in care for the elderly and met some lovely people whilst touring the UK. Upon my return to NZ my brother and I have since sold our family home of 43 years leaving us without a home to which a friend has suggested we try house sitting. I have no children or partner and enjoying my independence very much and wish to continue seeing and connecting with people and places throughout NZ. I am honest and reliable, almost to a fault, and believe in treating others as I wish to be treated. I also have an enormous respect for other people's property as I understand how hard one has to work to attain such things. As for your pets .... once upon a time, many moons ago, I wanted to be a veterinary nurse and so completed a 2 year certificate in General Animal Science. I have spent time helping out at Auckland Zoo but alas have never actually obtained work as a vet nurse. I am also an avid photographer and would love to practice pet photography on your lovely fur persons. I also practice yoga and love to bake, but not all at the same time as it can get a bit messy. My brother is also a sitter with the Housesitting Company and sometimes I like him to join me for a few days so that we can catch up with one another. Thank you for considering my profile and I do hope to hear from you and your furry family members shortly. Warmest regards Sarah.

Hi, I would like to care for your pets and look after your house. I am an experienced house sitter and love all animals. Animals are relaxed and happy in my care and will get lots of cuddles and love. I am a New Zealand Citizen and hold a current/valid A1 NZ Police clearance and a private security (C of A) license. I work as a full time senior Security Supervisor - I am also trained in Health & safety and also fire prevention. I am a quiet uncomplicated person and enjoy camping, tramping, caring for animals, birds, plants, gardening, reading and watching movies. I am honest and respect people’s privacy. I am clean living and very tidy. I do not drink alcohol or smoke. I am energy conscious so don’t leave unnecessary lights on and don’t use dishwashers etc. I like to travel around the country and always I welcome opportunities to housesit out of the City. I never have anyone ‘visiting’ when I am housesitting and prefer to stay "at home" and watch movies, work on my laptop and read. When looking after homes and pets I consider 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. I understand peoples need to leave their homes and pets in the best care possibleand with someone who is genuine and trained in matters of fire & safety. I am able to offer: - A fit, mature person who will remain remains with your pets and will respects your home like my own. - Someone who is currently employed in a senior security capacity (qualified and certified) at a well known Auckland Unitec, so you can be can be assured that your home, pets, garden, garage, cars and all your assets are safe and secure with a trained and licensed security professional living there. - I am easily contactable and traceable. (Please consider the referrals on my profile) I am able to meet with you to discuss things at a time that best suits you and please feel free to call me or send a text message. One other thing - I have a self contained camper so if someone preferred to have someone look after their home & pets but not actually live inside the house, then I would be happy to stay in my camper, (a VW Crafter - so not huge) - as long as I had an area to park it. I would only require access to a shower and toilet. This arrangement may suit some people better. kind regards, Clive

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

Charles and I are waiting for our first home to be built. In the mean time, we would love to care for your animals and look after your home while you are away. We are both clean and tidy people who enjoy exercising, hiking, boating, fishing, walking dogs and caring for pets. I work from home at least 80% of the time as a Strategy and Management Consultant, while Charlie works near Millwater, as a civil engineer, and will be home in the evenings. I'm happy to work from home less or more - whatever suits your needs :) We would be great tenants who will treat your house with great care. I also like to go for daily walks and would appreciate having a furry friend accompanying me. We look forward to meeting you!

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

Very clean, tidy responsible - well travelled single man working freelance in the film industry (based in New Zealand and London). I often have time between work projects (ranging from a week to a few months) where it would be lovely to lead more of a structured domestic lifestyle, including dog walking/pet care as I love being around animals; with plenty of experience in caring for the pets of family and friends. I am based in Wellington (NZ Permanent Resident) & London (UK Citizen), but happy to consider house sitting placements across New Zealand to experience living in new areas. I have travelled around both North and South Islands extensively for work, and pleasure.

I am a trust lawyer by trade having lived in Japan, the Cook Islands and the British Virgin Islands for most of the last 20 years but have returned to NZ (hopefully) permanently. For the last year I have run a trust company in Auckland but have left it to become “my own boss” and am setting up a trust consultancy business. This can be done almost exclusively online and I wish to reconnect with NZ whilst doing so and revisit the country. Wherein I was told about housesitting and thought it would be an ideal way to do so especially as I have such flexibility at the moment. Growing up in Morrinsville there were always animals around. Plus we guinea pigs, goats and Siamese cats (very sensitive eaters). My last girlfriend in the BVI had a lovely dog Georgie who I looked after many times and would regularly walk. She was a rescue dog and sadly had been abused so we had to be quite careful with her. I am reliable and very punctual (I blame my time in Japan). If I say something I will do it. I will look after your home and pets as if they were my own. I am truly looking forward to this adventure and thank you for being a part of it with me.

Hi there! My name is Suzanne and I have been house sitting fulltime in Whangarei, Warkworth, Whitianga and Papamoa for over eight years. I am a mature person on my own now, with no family ties. I especially love dogs and I am very experienced in caring for them and knowing their needs having owned dogs over many years. I had several Tibetan Spaniels and often looked after them for the Breeder. I also had a British bulldog, Janice Joplan, who was tremendous fun but very strong!!

I'm a UK citizen who has been living and working in New Zealand for the past four years. I want to do some house sitting to help save money and explore different parts of Auckland. I have house sat for friends a few times, including looking after their cats (feeding and cuddling) I recently did two jobs back-to-back over Xmas/New Year. I also house sat in Australia that I found through a similar website. For the job, I also had to look after two dogs (feeding & walking), some fish (feeding), some chickens (feeding) and two alpacas (feeding). As a child, I used to own guinea pigs, so have experience with feeding and cleaning cages/changing bedding. I am clean, tidy and respectful of other people's homes and can do some basic maintenance of the property, as required. I love animals and I am happy to look after a variety of pets.
