Devika (Dee)
I am a friendly, kind, fully vaccinated non smoker and I love people and animals....I really enjoy hiking, reading, movies, numbers (luckily I work at an Accountants), handcrafts, friends, family and pottering around home.
I am comfortable looking after apartments in the city, homes in the suburbs and also homes in rural areas - pets or no pets.
I have been with the Housesitting Company since November 2021 and have a few references online. If you require further reassurance I have a list of other home-owners/pet-owners who are happy to be called as referees. Please email or text me and I can provide more details to put you in touch with some of those who may have similar animals and/or houses as yourself.
I am a mum of two gorgeous young adults who are running their own worlds....I currently base myself in Kaiapoi and work in Rangiora, North Canterbury.

I love to housesit to help others - so they can have a holiday reassured that their home and animals are well looked after. From my own previous experience, I know how hard it can be to find a kennel/cattery or a suitable person to look after the gorgeous animals in our lives.
For me house-sitting is a lovely change of scenery and it would be fabulous to care for other people’s animals and/or home. I really enjoy the company of other people’s animals.
I am 51 years old...and as I mentioned, my children are nearly grown ups (when did that happen!!)....they have both “flown” my nest ...my son is a second year building apprentice and my daughter is at Auckland Uni doing architecture ....as they don’t live with me now I can freely go housesitting as required.
I grew up by the beach in Sumner and our family always had house pets and my (now ex-) husband and I brought our children up on a lifestyle block in Ohoka with cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, dogs and cats. So I have looked after and have experience with a wide range of stock/pets (in saying that I am not familiar with riding and the daily care of horses - although I love being around them!).
I would feel privileged if you choose to have me as your Housesitter. I am very tidy and am happy to do things the way you wish. I will respect your house and everything in it and will be grateful for you letting me stay in your home.
I look forward to hearing from you!!
