Gardening and conservation
Hi there,
I'm Irish and was raised on a mixed-use farm. I have been in NZ for the last 12 yrs.
I have 11yrs experience as a house-sitter and would be happy to provide contact details for reference check.
I love animals, especially dogs and cats, but also confident with the care of bigger farm animals. If your pets require exercise, they will be very happy as I am both a walker and runner and generally pretty active.
I am also a passionate food grower - so if you have a garden that requires attention, I am more than happy to provide maintenance.
I am a non smoker.
Our dog Jed loved Pat caring for him,being taken to the beach a lot. He was a very happy dog when we returned home. We also came home to a lovely, clean house. Pat was an excellent communicator with us around arrangements for her housesit.
Pat was just the best house sitter you could wish for.
Communicative, cautious when required with unexpected visitor. Great care of our two cats, with photos..Garden and house plants well looked after .
We would highly recommend her.
Pat looked after our special little rescue dog. She loves Pat now. Pat also handled all bookings and cleaning of my airbnb while away. She did excellent job.
Would highly recommend Pat.
Pat came to care for our cat, home and large garden for three months and we were heart broken when she left 18 months later. I can't speak highly enough of Pat, Her care of the our precious cat home and large garden was above and beyond what we had asked for. The very large garden was kept immaculately, Pat maintained and planted veggies and flowers so it seemed we'd never been away. The house as neat as a pin and so clean. Pat was so particular, on top of anything that needed doing, I was ... MORE
Pat was great, we really appreciated coming home to a very happy and well cared for little dog and the house was spotless. The communications with Pat were very clear and she updated us, as needed, while we were away which we also appreciated. Highly recommend Pat and we'd definitely contact her again!
Can not rate Pat any higher, She was amazing, in fact I think our dog would be happier if we moved out completely and Pat took over!!......we got home to an absolutely immaculate house, which was much better than how we left it, great communication and it felt good to have the satisfaction of knowing everything was being well taken care of while we were away, totally stress free!!.
Pat was outstanding once again. She comes highly recommended by us. Nothing seems to phase her. I think our cat tried to, but the cat was never going to win. Thanks Pat. Look forward to seeing you again in the future. Cheers, Geoff and Wendy
Pat looked after our home and dog for three weeks. She had a few unexpected challenges to deal with, which she took in her stride.
We highly recommend Pat.
Came home to a fat and content cat and a tidy house. Thank you Pat!
We would thoroughly endorse Pat as a house sitter and pet carer. It was evident even prior to our house sit, that Pat was reliable, honest, respectful and had obvious high personal integrity. Pat is able to deal with any issues that might arise in a calm and logical manner. She kept us informed of how our pet was going whilst we were away. We feel we have been lucky to have met Pat and would wish to have her return on any future house sit.
Thanks so much Pat. You had a VERY difficult puppy to look after and yet you still seemed sane at the end of your house sit. We fully recommend you as a sitter and hope you have many more (but less stressful) house sits. House and unsociable older cat well looked after.
Pat house and dog sat for me for 7 weeks in April and May 2018. She was an exemplary house/dog sitter. She came twice beforehand to meet and walk the dog, and she was consistently conscientious about Heidi's exercise needs. Heidi loved her, she got more exercise than she does with me!
Pat was flexible when I needed to return early, and we shared the house for the final 2 or 3 weeks, very successfully. I would not hesitate to recommend Pat and I hope she will come here again. I am happy to ... MORE
Patricia was awesome. Cats well looked after. House spotless. We would highly recommend Pat and will be using her again in the future. Cheers from Geoff and Wendy
My husband and I had Pat to House and Cat sit for just on 3 weeks, We would use her again when needed, and also, we have already recommended her to some friends. Pat kept us informed by email of any little worries she may have had and also as to our pets welfare through out.
On our return we were very pleased with the cleanliness and condition of our property.
Pat is a very friendly and thoughtful lady and we would not hesitate to recommend her to others who would seek her service as a ... MORE
Pat was our house sitter from 8 July to 5 September. Before her house sit she visited our property twice to familiarise herself with our dog and routines. She provided us with a template for us to fill in of what she was required to do. This made it very clear and eliminated worry on both sides. Pat went above and beyond what was required. She volunteered to mow the lawns. She took
our dog for extra walks and outings. The house was kept spotless. Pat went the extra mile for my 18 year old ... MORE
Patricia looked after our two cats, house and garden for five weeks while we were overseas.
She was very reliable and took great care of everything. She followed instructions carefully and kept in touch with us while we were away.
I would highly recommend Patricia to anyone looking for a house-sitter.
pat came to housesit for us last year for one week. she did an excellent job of taking care of our home which was clean and tidy upon our return. she took care of our flock of 25 chickens, a large kunekune pig and our cat. all animals were well fed and well loved. she has a lovely personality and upon meeting we liked her immediately. she is an extremely capable woman, and approached the housesit with a sense of maturity that I found refreshing. this is not always the case when a single woman ... MORE
Pat was an amazing and caring sitter for our house and two cats. She went the extra mile to look for our cat and contact the neighbours when he didn't come home one of the nights. She was respectful of our home and looked after it as if it were her own. A friendly, personable and reliable person who I would recommend to anyone.
Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
