Hobsonville
Hobsonville is a district that is undergoing much change with new homes going up quickly as Auckland evolves.
West Auckland
West Auckland has much beauty, with its proximity to the stunning West Coast beaches of Piha, Muriwai Beach with its famous Gannet colony, and Karekare being a great drawcard for people. There are also the breathtaking Waitakere Ranges to explore, whilst Kumeu has wineries for a great wine tour.

I am an Auckland based sales professional. I decided to become a pet sitter because I love animals and I can take my work office anywhere. I absolutely love animals and have always had them in my life as I grew up on a farm. I’m confident in looking after Dogs of any size and have no issues walking and sticking to their routine., I’ve also confident to give medicine to both cats and dogs and I have the ability to transport pets to the vet if that was needed. If I was to house sit for you, you can rest assure, your animals would be loved as I would care for them as if they were my own.

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.

I’m a 28 year old female looking to house sit to save money for my own place (and a pet of my very own too). I’m an animal lover so will love to get to know your precious pals! I grew up near Palmerston North with 3 cats (my black and white moggie Patch was the best cat ever). I also had bunnies as a kid and pet sheep. My parents have a Siamese so I’m used to attitide. Sadly after moving to Auckland, it’s hard to find flats allowing pets so I’ve had to sacrifice getting one of my own. I’ve been house sitting for the last couple of months and have been loving it. It’s been nice to have animals around again! I’ve become accustom to daily doggo walks, and the extra attention from the animals. I’m very respectful and will take care of your house as of it were my own. As for your pets.. I’ll spoil them like a favorite Aunty and give them plenty of play time and cuddles.

Kia Ora! I am responsible energetic easygoing professional. I am new to this site, but happy to provide excellent references from previous housesits in NZ and police clearances. The main reason why I am looking for housesits is I am a big animal lover and as I am traveling a lot I cannot have any pets. I have grown up with cats, dogs, birds and a ferret so I am comfortable caring for pets and confident in any routine. I also have a lot of gardening and residential cleaning experience. It's so fun having pets company and we like to send time showing to the owners what their babies have been up to by sending video and pictures. Currently I am enjoying looking after amazing dog and cat. I am looking for housesitting opportunities while I have plenty of spare time due to upcoming summer holiday and switching teaching job to part time. I am very respectful to the property, always keep it nice and tidy and as a way to say 'Thank you' I do spring clean if you don't mind. Thank you for reading, feel free to message as with any questions! Regards, Anna

Dear homeowners, We are an entrepreneurial couple, in our early 30s. Our home is in Australia but during the past 8 years we have spent a lot of time in-between New Zealand & Australia. This time we are staying in New Zealand until the end of September 2020. We have joined the house-sitting family because it gives us a great opportunity to explore different parts of New Zealand while spending time with some amazing animals. Also, it feels good to help out busy homeowners who wish to take a break or holiday without having to worry about their pets and home :) We absolutely love animals and for a while we've wanted to get our own dog but due to our lifestyle it's nearly impossible at this stage. Looking after someone elses pet(s) is the second best thing to owning a dog :) So far we have done house sitting in New Zealand as well as looked after our friends houses and pets all around the world - dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits & various avian species (parrots, chicken etc). We also have experience with looking after rescue dogs and think that there is nothing more rewarding than getting some love back from them :) Growing up our families have owned dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish and even frill necked lizard. Looking after animals comes to us naturally, they truly are humans best mates. By choosing us to look after your home and/or extended family members we can assure you that both of them are well looked after. We would treat your home and pets as they were our own. PS: As we both work from home it doesn't really matter whether your home is - in a city, suburban area or even in the outback. As long as you have internet access we are happy to help you out. Hope to hear from you soon, Simon & Marion The Estralians

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.

I am a 38-year-old professional, single woman, well-traveled, multilingual. I have been in NZ for 13years (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.

Hello! My name is Lauren and I’m a personal trainer working in Ponsonby. I have come back from spending time overseas and now currently live with my parents after flatting beforehand. I have house sat for several of my clients over the last year and enjoyed the change of scenery while they have appreciated having extra security of their house while they go away. I love cats and dogs and have always grown up with pets so have no trouble looking after them. I’m tidy and cautious with taking care of other people’s belongings and property and I don’t often invite other people over. Overall I’m a reliable and trustworthy house sitter!

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

My name is Claire Chapman and I’m an active, caring and friendly person. I love travelling and have seen much of the world. My recent travels have been around New Zealand and I have stayed in some wonderful homes which I have treated with pride, always leaving them clean and tidy. All my reviews are thankful for the way the home has been left and all say they would welcome me back. I’m married to Kerry and we have been together for 35+ years. We have 3 adult daughters who all live in Auckland. We are making the move to Auckland to be closer to our family. However this will be a slow transition as we have a house in Napier that we have owned for over 20 years and Kerry has work commitments that need to be completed in Napier that could take some time. I have been fortunate to secure part time work within the Libraries of Auckland in Ranui and am looking forward to the new environment. I will be house sitting on my own until Kerry can join me. The opportunity to take up the lifestyle of house sitting appeals to me. I have owned many pets Bailey was a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrior who was much loved by all in our family for many years. Our two cats Chardonnay and Benson lived to 19 and 18 years old. Our goldfish lived for 12 years and I have also owned lots of tropical fish. So my experience with various loved pets is long standing. The joy you get from animals is enormous. We are currently looking after my daughters cat while she is on extended holiday and she has a medical condition that requires daily administration of meds. I also have travelled to Australia on a couple of occasions to look after my sister's dog while she went on an extended OE. If I was successful in securing a Housesitting position I would be very respectful in looking after your house. I would return it to you just how you left it. I would take care of your loved pets just how you would. I even love gardening and would happily potter in yours. And I would relish the experience of living in a different environment.

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 Graham and I am a single, non smoking male in my 60's. Due to a marriage breakup I am now 'free' to do whatever I like and I would like to see more of NZ. I have often thought I'd like to house sit and it is a win-win for all parties, as pets get to be looked after in their own home as well. I am now a permanent house sitter mostly in Auckland, but open to going to other areas in NZ. That means that if you go away on a regular basis I can be your regular house/pet sitter. I come with previous, pet sitting experience (as per testimonials), where I took care of pets, home and property. I love animals and I have owned my own dogs, cats, budgies and goldfish but currently have no pets of my own. I especially love cats and they love me and I have no problem having them sleep on the bed with me. I love dogs and they love taking me for walks as they can see that I need the exercise. I am looking forward to making friends with the pets I will be entrusted to care for and house sitting will allow me to have the feeling again that I 'own' a pet - for a period of time ;) I have also been a lawnmower/gardener contractor so I have no problem caring for your property while you are away. I also have accounting/office skills, so if you need a business taken care of while you're away; I can do that to. I can also complete end of year tax accounts. So if you are looking for a cheaper accountant I also do that on a part time basis. I like to do some trading on the currency markets and I am also building a website, so your pets will have my company nearly all day, but wherever I stay, access to the internet is desirable so that I don't have to use up my mobile data. In the past I have owned my own homes and know what it means to take pride in your own home and to fulfill the responsibilities of being a homeowner. Currently I have no home I can call my own, so if I have no house sitting booked I sleep in my campervan. I have excellent references from landlords (see references attached) and testimonials from homeowners (see testimonials). Thank you for taking the time to consider my online profile and I hope that you will consider me for caring for your home and pets. Regards Graham.

Hi, I have house 'sat' several times and enjoyed it (see references). I have a genuine empathy for all animals and also, I simply enjoy getting to know new non-human creatures. I feel the enormous responsibility that it is to care for someone's beloved pets. Some information about me; I am a pakeha New Zealander. I was born in the Far North, but have lived in Auckland most of my life. I have had a few overseas adventures (Fiji, Australia, UK, Italy and Holland). I am a musician and singer in a professional Auckland Acapella gospel choir. My availability and lifestyle; I am wanting to house sit for a period of time before I buy my own home. I work 3 days a week, and I start at 9:30am, so I have time for dog walking if needed. I am vegetarian and I don't smoke. Regards, Rachel Key

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 :)
