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.

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.

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 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

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 would love to stay in your home and look after your pets, this is why we believe you should consider us We love dogs and cats and will give them plenty love and attention. We are a mature professional couple - just the 2 of us, no visitors or guests coming over. We are extremely tidy (see past references). We don't smoke. We will be respectful of your home and your privacy. I (Brigitte) will be working from home, so the pets will have company and be kept in the routine they are used to. We can come through and meet with you beforehand to make sure that both parties are happy. We have many contactable references. We are dependable, so you can go away without worrying about anything.

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.

I am a fit, energetic and healthy retired engineer, non smoker and no alcohol consumption. English by birth but a New Zealand citizen. I have one daughter at new plymouth high school who graduates in 2020 and another daughter at wellington university. A daughter occasionally accompanies me to help with and pamper pets. I have a lifelong experience with cats, dogs and farm animals (but I don't own any at present). I have recently sold a small holding in Taranaki. My personal interests lie outdoors; tramping, skiing, diving, swimming ... anything outdoors. And there are many past hobbies that have fallen by the wayside over the years but occasional opportunities still allow me to participate: caving, rock climbing, sailing, hang-gliding to mention just a few. I am a clean, tidy, respectful, trustworthy and honest gentleman. I provide you with daily updates on your house and loved ones entrusted to me. I house sit overy the whole of New Zealand, mainly in the North Island but also occasionally in the South Island. I love the travel! Kind Regards Len

I am an independent and responsible single person that would be the perfect candidate to mind your home, pets and garden in your absence. I am a non smoker. I work from home as a Medical Transcriptor and therefore I am able to travel outside of the Wellington area and I am happy to take inquiries from anywhere in New Zealand. I am extremely experienced at caring for peoples homes and pets and have had previous positions house minding both short and long term. I am happy also to provide frequent updates so you are well informed and can enjoy your time away with total peace of mind. I am also able to provide personal references from people whose homes I have looked after. I would be delighted to hear from you. I can provide excellent references and a BOND for added assurance if you require one. I am available now and look forward to discussing your requirements. Maggie Kathryn - Hamurana SIT DATE: Oct 2018 Maggie did a wonderful job looking after our home and many animals. This included a dog, cats, guinea pigs, rabbit, goldfish, chickens, goats, sheep, a duck and ducklings, as well as watering the greenhouse and other plants. This was our first time having a house sitter. The dog obviously had a great time with Maggie during the week we were away. We would definitely recommend Maggie

Kia ora, My name is Aroha Henry, and I am 51. I was raised in Wellington and grew up with pets. My mother was particularly fond of having pets and a lot of her endearment traits for pets I have too. My first pet was a cat Kippy, and then my family adopted two small dogs, Flipper and Mingo, they lived their lives with us. One of the dogs was reasonably old when we took her, and she passed away, and the other was younger, so he lived until we had to say goodbye to him. I adopted a German-Shepherd puppy, her name was Natasha, and I had her for 15 years until I had to say goodbye to her too. I have always lived with pets, and therefore I enjoy housesitting because it allows me to share my animal-loving endearment traits and personality. I work full-time as a Solutions Support Administrator from 7am – 4pm. I am also completing my Bachelor of Communication studies this year, and I am looking forward to my graduation in 2020. I enjoy housesitting and the added advantage of befriending many pets. I am a responsible and respectful person who wants to help out families by looking after their property and pets while they are away. I am also very friendly and trustworthy, and your pets will enjoy my company just as much as I will enjoy theirs. Please have a look through my references and feel free to call my referees who will be more than happy to vouch for my character and skills as housesitter and pet minders. We would love to meet you and your pets and hope that you will consider me as your housesitter.

Hey there, Our names are Maria (32) and Taylor (28). I (Maria) am originally from Liverpool in England and have been living in Auckland for approximately 5 and a half years. As a child, my sister and I had cold water fish and a rabbit called Sparkle as much loved family pets. Our extended family has always had dogs which I loved taking on long walks and playing with. House sitting, while helping us to save up for a deposit for a house, will allow me to look after animals again which I am looking forward to. I am a customer experience designer for Spark New Zealand where I have worked for almost 6 years. Taylor is from Auckland and has lived all over, from Piha to the North Shore. Since childhood, he has had many family pets, 5 cats, 2 guinea pigs, 2 budgies, 1 rabbit and currently a dog called Louis (an 11-year-old spoodle). Taylor is a freelance software developer and entrepreneur. He currently owns the business Joblist, which is a double-sided marketplace connecting people who need jobs doing around their house, with those willing to do the work and earn themselves some extra money. We are a caring and trustworthy couple who works hard and likes to relax in the outdoors. We also enjoy reading, watching movies and socialising with friends when we have some free time. We look forward to exploring different parts of Auckland and caring for loving family pets to give you peace of mind while you're on holiday. We are excited for any house sitting opportunities and look forward to meeting you :)

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

While I did my first house and pet sit back in 2014, it only became a full-time lifestyle choice for me in the middle of 2016. That's when I left my career in banking to pursue other interests/opportunities (first year spent doing a pilot licence, second year a bit of freelancing, and now I have my own business). While I have to confess my motivation for house/pet sitting was purely financial at first, I've come to love the lifestyle and my appreciation and enjoyment of pets has grown enormously. As far as my current work goes, I recently started a photography business. At this stage most of the work is from home administrating and growing the business. I'm out doing some photography myself from time to time but this is never more than 20 hours per week and typically much less. This situation works in really well with house and pet sitting because for the most part I'm around the house. A lot of my time is spent on the laptop or on the phone so I tend to have plenty of time hanging out with the pets. We make good company for each other. Over the past few years I've had the pleasure of looking after a wide variety of pets in a range of different situations. Dogs have been the most common but I've also looked after cats, rabbits, fish, turtles, donkeys, mini-donkeys, sheep, alpacas, pigs, and chickens, I have plenty of references now (more than this site will allow me to load on my profile) which I can send through on request. Some of them can be seen on my profile as endorsements. While I house sit alone, I do have a girlfriend who likes to come and stay sometimes. On average probably a couple of nights per week. I hope this is OK. I'm happy to provide links to my facebook, linkedin or whatever else will provide you the comfort to know that I'm a reliable and friendly chap. Any other questions, just ask.

We have been house sitting for about a year now, and are doing it with the aim of buying a house of our own in the next year or so. We have looked after a variety of animals and breeds, and can accomodate most requirements. We both love animals and have had our own cats and dogs in the past. Dog breeds we have looked after include Great Dane, Labradoodle, Labrador, Golden Retriever, Clumber Spaniel, French Bulldog, Miniature Schnauzer, Yorkshire Terrier and a number of mixed breed and rescue dogs. Cat breeds include Maine Coon, Persian, and lots of mixed breeds. Our working hours and locations are flexible, so one of us can stay at home to look after your pets most of the week if required. We pay attention to detail, and will follow instructions given. We will ensure your home is kept clean and tidy, and look after it as we would our own. We are a professional couple with freedom to house sit in almost any location on the North Shore or Central Auckland.

I am a mature, responsible, single female NZ police detective. I have recently returned from working overseas. I sold my house prior to working overseas, therefore I'm able to move freely to various locations as required. I still own a holiday home on Rakino Island in the Hauraki Gulf. You will find I am very trustworthy, responsible, discreet and reliable. I am considerate and will be someone your neighbours will enjoy having looking after your property while you're away. I love all animals. I have owned a German shepherd in the past and my family have bred miniature schnauzers so I'm comfortable with large or small dogs. Similarly I love all animals from cats, birds, fish to pet rodents and farm animals. I maintain great fitness and happily go walking outside rain or shine. I also love being in the garden and will care for plants as required. I am very tidy and care for other people's belongings, home and property as if it were my own. I am happy to be available for any communication before, during and after housesitting especially if you need to give instructions or speak to your fur babies. My work is generally early shift (7am-3pm) or late shift (1-9pm) although sometimes varies from this. These inconsistent hours are beneficial to your home's security. Obviously security is important to me as a police officer. I looked after Australian police colleagues homes and Kiwi High Commission colleagues homes in Honiara while residing there for the year. This included regularly watering plants and ensuring the home was secure as well as feeding two dogs for one couple. The dogs were quite timid initially towards me however were confident and energetic towards me by the time their owners returned. I look forward to meeting you and hope I can provide some peace of mind for you while you are away.

I'm a 33 year old professional interior designer who's trying to save money for a trip to England. I'm very neat and tidy and have a little bit of a green thumb- I love growing orchids. I have looked after friend's and family's homes in the past, always endeavouring to leave their home in the manner in which I have found it. I like to leave people's homes clean and tidy with the fridge cleared of any old produce ready to be restocked. I grew up with lots of pets and have experience in looking after cats, dogs, hamsters, birds and fish. I have looked after larger dogs who need to be walked everyday, along with smaller dogs, one who was quite anxious and required a little bit of TLC. I have also had experience with older dogs who needed medication. I'm happy to brush your pets, as required, ensuring that they look good when you get home. While I love getting out and about for a walk along the beach or catching up with friends, I can be a bit of a home body and enjoy spending quiet evenings at home, so I'll be able to spend some time with your pets. I know that for some animals just having someone around can help them to feel comfortable while their owners are away. As I mentioned before I am happy to help look after your garden and water your indoor pot plants while you're away. I'm wanting to look after a person's home in the same way that they do- making sure that their pets feel loved and cared for and ensuring you can relax while on holiday knowing that someone responsible is looking after your home and animals.
