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! 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

Your pets will be well loved and nurtured and your home well cared for when you choose me to look after things during your time away. Knowing your home is in the safe hands of mature, experienced sitter with good common sense and a can-do attitude to any issues that may arise, gives you the peace of mind needed to thoroughly enjoy your trip. Your pets will be snuggled as much as they wish, dogs enthusiastically walked if required and your valuable home treated with great respect. With experience in looking after and nurturing pets from 3kg Puppies to 500kg Horses, Chickens, Kittens and elderly Cats with very specific requirements and medications etc, your pets needs will be well catered for and they will feel safe and secure whilst you're away. Previous owners I have sat for (with & without pets) are happy to be contacted for references. Please feel free to call to chat about your sitting requirements to see if I may be of assistance to you. Warm regards Louise

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.

Larry and I are a New Zealand retired professional couple currently sailing around the world. (Non-smokers). We came back to NZ at the end of March due to Covid19. Before we left NZ, we puppy walked for the RNZGDS for over 12 years, and successfully graduated 9 puppies that went onto become working guide dogs. Prior to embarking on our current journey, we lived on a 12 acre lifestyle block on the coast of Whangarei. We have raised many farm animals, including Indian runner ducks, chickens, sheep and steers. For several years we had a couple of horses that we rode. We have also had tropical fish, cats and birds (including looking after my mother's cockatoo when she went on holiday). We will love and care for your pets and home as if they were our own. Larry is not working and will be at home for most of the days. For more detailed information please see our profile and references.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

We are retired and are fit and young at heart. We need something to do that will keep us interested in life and change. We are super tidy, especially my wife! and we love pets. Until we traveled abroad for career purposes, we always had pets and dog for the family. When the children were little we had a pooch, black and fluffy for about 14 years, growing up they had the company of a black Labrador. Coming to Fiji we looked after our friends dog for 2 years, a large doberman, one that would lick you to death! And just lately again to help out friends going overseas for 12 months a beautiful German Sheppard and the cat, both couldn't live without the other, and together they provided most of the entertainment! I love walking, and it just isn't the same without a best friend. We know pets love routine, and we will enjoy to fit in with your regular way of looking after them. We are used to having pets, enjoy spending time with pets, and understand their needs of companionship. We have six children, all grown up with their own family. Having had a significant overseas and New Zealand based career, we have had the benefit of high end company homes to live in. References on how we looked after these homes are readily available. We have also included some pics of our home at Vuda Marina, Fiji. What you can expect is, to return to your home with pleasure, absolutely spotlessly kept, both inside and out, including any pool maintenance and garden maintenance. We expect to make lifelong friends with any home owner for whom we will look after the house and property and pets. Hank and Cherie Arts

Hello there! We are Pia and Anaru, married couple full time house sitters in Auckland. We’ve been house sitting a little over 6 months now and have had the pleasure of taking care of dogs, cats, horses, sheep and cows. We have loved every single home and enjoyed meeting new owners and falling in love with furry friends. Pia works from home all the time on our photography business which is managed all online and Anaru heads into the city 3 times a week into his photography company job. We are both quite down to earth, relational, tidy and creative. We do not smoke or drink and enjoy rather relaxing, reading, writing, playing guitar, playing board games and drinking tea. We take owners trust seriously and always strive to keep owners in the loop at all times by providing photos and updates (pets are good photo models too so some photos are actually super beautiful!). We would love to meet you and connect with you, hear your story and know what is important to you. Above all, we want you to feel reassured that your home and furry friends are safe, comfortable and being loved on with us. We look forward to hearing from you! P+A

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 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, my name is Frances! I am a healthy, energetic, non-smoking 67 yr old female. I love long-distance walking, gardening, and generally just enjoying life. Whilst I own a beautiful villa in the Hauraki, south of Auckland, I house-sit so I can enjoy looking after animals. I now have about four years house-sitting experience behind me, both privately, through Trusted Housesitters (outside NZ) and through the Housesitting Company (NZ). Pre-Covid-19 I was fully employed in the tourism sector, but I'm currently semi-retired. I love animals, particularly cats, dogs and smaller farm animals. To-date, I've taken care of various cats, several small to medium sized dogs, chickens, alpacas and sheep. I've done a couple of overseas sits as well - 2017 in Frankfurt looking after a blind cat for 3 weeks; 2018 in Holland for 3 months looking after an elderly cat. All experiences have been fabulous! I will be an excellent house-sitter, as I take great pride in everything I do, have high standards, and I'm honest, independent and reliable. I will thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to take care of your pet(s) and your home. Where-ever I choose to house-sit, I will endeavor to meet with you and your pets before-hand. A virtual meeting is a great alternative! I'm looking forward to meeting with you soon!
