Gisborne
Gisborne is the first city in the world to see the sun rise, and what a stunning place to see it rise. There are some great surfing spots with Gisborne known to many as the surfing capital of New Zealand. If you’re into wine, the Gisborne area is a great place to be. You can go out on a range of Gisborne wine tours in which you’ll find out all about the heritage and culture of this amazing wine producing region. If wine isn’t your thing, then there are lots of other options for you, including the many Gisborne beaches, horse riding, and cultural and historical tours of Gisborne too.

I’m a 34 year old, working full-time as a midwife but not wanting to tie myself down to any one spot at the moment as I enjoy having freedom and flexibility to go wherever life leads. I’ve house sat many times over the years for friends, family and colleagues and I particularly enjoy cats for company! I’m very respectful of other peoples’ homes, pets & belongings & I’m naturally caring, so I would take the responsibility seriously & look after your home and/or pets as if they were my own. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi there, My name is Andrew and I turned 62 last August. I am a self-employed writer and composer. As I travel frequently, I do not have pets of my own - so I absolutely adore the time get to spend looking after other people's pet's. I love all animals, but am especially fond of dogs and cats. Horses, fish, hamsters, rats, hens, goats, sheep and pigs are also my friends. I am not too fond of spiders and any creepy crawly type creatures, although I did look after a worm farm once. When not on my computer writing, I like to go on long walks. I swim, meditate, I love cooking and gardening. As my computer is my mobile office, your pets will have company all day long. I am completely house trained and am an expert in the art of being a guest. I will treat both your home and your beautiful pets with the respect and love they deserve. I would love to housesit your home and look after your treasured pets. I know that upon your return you will be very happy to have chosen me, and I'm sure you will be looking for my telephone number when you are thinking about your next holiday. I look forward to hearing from you.

I am a single Mature Woman with with adult children who are happily living their own lives in Hamilton and Auckland. I worked for many years in the Hair and Beauty industry as a Hairdresser and Beauty therapist. I have owned business and employed staff in the past. I now work remotely for a septic tank cleaning company doing telemarketing and database management. During the Covid lockdown I revived my crafting stills creating some interesting upcycling projects. I had been asked by friends to housesit and care for their pets. It seemed a natural progression to I chose to housesit in anticipation of travelling and I joined an international housesitting site, meeting some fabulous people whilst in the UK in 2018. Many of these people I am still in contact with. On my return to New Zealand my desire to travel remained so I continued to move around seeing more of our beautiful Aotearoa. Among the animals I have cared for cats both indoor and outdoor, dogs large and small young and old, chickens ducks and fish and also some livestock. Returning to housesits many times means I have developed some great friendships with both the animals and their owners, and also in some cases neighbors and friends in communities. I look forward to meeting you your animals and experiencing the area that you call home.

Hello, I'm Rosalind, a 34 year old graphic designer based in Auckland but originally from Napier. I'm keen to house sit as I am in a flatting situation and it's a great opportunity to get out and stay in different parts of Auckland/New Zealand. I also love pet sitting as I miss having animals around as I grew up with an English Springer Spaniel and cat. I enjoy the arts, keeping fit and healthy and having a work life balance. My friends would describe me as caring and loyal. I love and enjoy walking so more than happy to take your dog for a walk!

Hi there! Our names are David and Tessa, 30 and 32 years old. We moved to New Zealand 3 years ago and are currently living in Palmerston North. We are still in the stage of our lives where we do not need to settle so we love going on adventures, seeing new places and experiencing new things. By housesitting we can see different parts of New Zealand and get a good feel for where we might want to settle a couple of years from now. Furthermore, housesitting gives us the joy of pets without holding us back from travelling. In the past years, we have done this by foster parenting for the SPCA, Saving Hope Foundation, and most recently for Pawshake (a pet sitting service where people pay a fee for you to housesit or have their animals stay with you. We have many more reviews on that website and are happy to provide those too. I have been working from home since 2020 and will have plenty of time to spend on keeping your house clean, loving your animals, and gardening if need be. David is also currently transitioning to online work and will be able to maintain the lawn and other things around the house should they arise. We are a quiet couple who love animals and enjoy camping, hiking, being outdoors and staying active. Upon return you can expect a clean well maintained home and garden, loved and cared for pets, and the house just as you left it. Also, we love taking photos so if you are worried that you are going to miss your furry children too much we are more than happy to send you regular updates through pictures and videos :) We have experience with short & longe house stays as well as the following animals: - Dogs - Cats - Chickens - Goats - Horses - Guinea Pigs - Bunnies - Sheep - Ducks If you require any additional information please do not hesitate to contact us. Warm regards, David and Tessa 022-634-1586

Hello - We are Gemma (33) and Brian (32), a young(ish) couple who enjoy travelling, and have just recently moved back to NZ after Brian spent over 8 years in the UK after meeting me so it seemed only fair I do a stint here. We recently purchased an RV and will be travelling around the country in between house sits while I work remotely 4 days a week and Brian takes a career break during 2022/23. We love animals and house sitting, and have plenty of experience doing so from when we were in the UK. We've house sat for a number of people, for time periods ranging from 2 nights to 6 months, while looking after cats, dogs, rabbits, and tortoises. We're really well organised, tidy, and caring, and you can expect to return to your home as clean as you left it, with happy pets. We're double vaccinated and boosted so you can be assured we're taking all appropriate Covid precautions as well.

I have had previously had experience in house sitting with my husband in Australia for some 14 years...my circumstances have now changed with his passing and since it was a success at the time I have decided to pursue with this interest and enjoy my own country at leisure now that I am settled back home again I am in very good health and am able to maintain lawns gardens and also pools. There is no problem with animals as I like them all and as a family we always had pets ...I do however prefer that I don't have to deal with mice rats or snakes and anything else is a dawdle I have my own vehicle...I do not generally go out for any great length of time and never at night.. I would be home every evening I need WiFi as I have a job which needs the internet for my laptop..

I am a budding writer, travelling and returning home from time to time, as I gathering stories, house and pet sitting to continue writing. My preference is for house sits that are of longer duration, but will consider other opportunities as well. As a previous home and pet owner, I know how important it is to have a home looked lived in and pets well cared for. My green thumb is not too bad either. I am happy to say "Hi" to your neighbours if you are friendly with them so they are happy with a new person in their neighbourhood as well. I have experience with cats and dogs, chickens the odd fish and one snail... I am very happy to have a pet curled up on my lap - if they want to! I will be writing from home, so there most of the day to keep pets company and well loved. I am an easy going, friendly person who is clean and tidy and appreciates a clean and tidy home to sit. I am security conscious and happy to water your plants as well. I look forward to meeting with you via Skype or WhatsApp Video Calling to chat further. Warmest, Tracey

Hi there, a trusty worth honest human, looking to leave a lighter tread on the planet. I work from home and supposed to be travelling around the world teaching yoga right now but covid has changed a lot. To create my best work I like to be able live by myself, get out in nature and explore different areas. I housesat consistently for 2 years around 2014-2016 and am looking forward to doing this again since i am home in New Zealand. I love taking care of your animals, that's all the company I need. I have sat for & have experience with many different animals. Dogs = labradoodle, mini schnauzer, bernese mountain dog, border collie, boston terrier, wolf hound and jack russell, Cats = tabby kitten, burmese, persians, chartruese and more. Also have plenty experience with chickens, some house birds, rabbits and guinea pigs. I haven't had the experience of looking after horses or donkeys yet but I would love to and would love the opportunity. I grew up on a small farm, so all though its been a very long time, I have had some experience with stock and happy to learn if needed. I used to own a great dane, ridgeback cross until I left for overseas travel, so I am very comfortable with large breeds, he now lives with my best friend and her 2 boys where is well exercised, loved and I can see him anytime i'm in my hometown. I have always lived my life with the intention of leaving a profit, if I have the chance to housesit for you I will treat your home with love and respect and will leave it cleaner than I found it. Expect clear communication and reliability.
