Amazing Housesitter

68, Retired

Hi,

My name is Serena, My Jack Russell Jimmy and I are enjoying house/pet sitting all over NZ.

We live in stunning Kaiteriteri in Tasman.

My first training was as a paediatric nurse, then I became a farmer with my husband on a 15 acre block, we upsized to a full sheep farm a few years later. We had all sorts of animals, dogs, cats, sheep, a house cow, chickens, fish and guinea pigs. I've worked in a vet clinic, a 24 hour surgery, been a receptionist and a gardener and now I'm retired.

I have travelled extensively house and pet sitting in the UK, Italy, Australia and NZ. I have experience house sitting houses as well as lifestyle blocks. My passions are gardening, visiting open gardens, swimming, paddle boarding, cooking, reading, DIY and travelling.

Your pets and house will be cared for as if they were my own. As I said I love gardening so I'm hoping to get some sits where I am able to tend a vegetable garden and potter about in the garden.

If you are interested in booking me I can supply references and phone numbers to contact past sits.

A really cool side benefit from using this house sitting service is that you get to meet some really interesting people, and Serena was no exception. Serena is a competent, mature, and conscientious person, with a 'can-do' attitude, who also communicates well, and who loves animals. We were able to relax on our holiday with complete confidence that our home and our animals were well taken care off. We appreciated the happy snapshots of the animals in the first days. A real bonus was coming back ... MORE

Serena was proactive and very communicative. Arnold had a great time with Jimmy which was wonderful to see and gave us great peace of mind.Definitely would recommend! Panos

Serena is superb. Professional and fitted in beautifully with our family. Came back to an exceptionally tidy house with a treat in the fridge she had made. Her communication was impeccable throughout her stay have rebooked her for a future sit if she is able. First time to do this and if they are all like Serena then we are very lucky to have this company to help us.
