Caring dog-lover, WFH

Hi, I’m a responsible and reliable female in my early forties, non-smoker, fully vaccinated.

I live in my own house in Rodney district north of Auckland close to several beaches where I enjoy daily walks with my two dogs. I will respect your property and keep your home clean and tidy.

I am aware how important it is that our beloved pets stay in their own familiar environment, with loving human company to ensure they are happy and safe while we are away with peace of mind that our pets will be taken good care of.

I’m a supply chain professional, working 100% from home with a fairly flexible schedule, which allows me to work around your pets’ routine to make them feel the most comfortable and happy. Your home must have reliable & fast internet access for me to work remotely.

Over the years volunteering as a canine foster mum, I have gained lots of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, from 3 days old bottle babies to 12 years old seniors. I’ve cared for special needs dogs, am comfortable administering medication if required and can provide basic training. My two dogs, both small, less than 10 kg, terriers, neutered, up-to-date with vaccinations, flea and worming treatment, are friendly and house-trained. They would be joining me on the house sit and will be additional company for your dog.

I’m happy to send you regular updates and photos of your pets.

I would prefer to meet you and your pet in person if travel distance permits - or over a video call otherwise – to make sure we are comfortable with each other, and to clarify expectations, details of pet care, information on house and garden care, plus what to do in case of emergencies such as flooding.

On your request, I can provide ID verification in the form of a drivers license and/or a rates invoice or similar, but I don’t wish to submit my personal details online to Kiwi House Sitters overseas based ID verification supplier.

I’m looking forward to exploring other areas in NZ with my furry companions.

If you have any questions to assess if I would be a good fit then please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Stephanie is awesome! We felt so lucky to have had her look after our house and dog. She was kind, thoughtful and great with communication, sending us regular updates and pictures of our dog. The house was immaculate when we got back and the lawns were cut, she even made us soup, bread and scones (which were all delicious) so we didn’t need to do anything our first night home! She cared for our dog like he was her own which was very reassuring. We would highly recommend Stephanie and wish her ... MORE

This is the second time Stefanie has looked after our dog Willoughby, our ducks, chickens and my aquariums while we were overseas. As previously, on return the house was immaculate, Willoughby was very happy having been reunited with his buddies (Stefanies dogs) and chickens and ducks had been well cared for. Stefanie regularly kept us updated while we were away.

Stefanie was so very understanding when (as a result of ill health) I had to cancel my 7 week house and dog sit with her. I had chosen Stefanie to look after my two small dogs because of her great communication, caring attitude and prompt responses. Her care for her own two dogs was a testament to her love of animals and I had had no hesitation in asking her to take care of my fur babies. If I am able to travel again I would not hesitate to have her be my housesitter.

Stephanie is amazing. She popped up for the weekend to sit for us, looking after my little dog and hens. She is just lovely and couldn't be better. Thank you again Steph!

Thank you so much Stefanie for taking such good care of Louie and the house. Stefanie was fantastic and I never had to worry. My Stafford Louie is very anxious but Stefanie was very patient and they quickly formed a bond. He enjoyed the company of Stefanie’s dogs and was looking for them once the house sit finished. The house was immaculate when I returned. There was even a problem with the internet while I was away which Stefanie resourcefully sorted, so as not to trouble me too much on ... MORE

Thank you Robyn for trusting me with your home and precious dog while you were overseas 3 weeks. I certainly missed Louie's cuddles when I was back home.
Stefanie looked after our house, our dog Willoughby, ducks, chickens and aquarium for 3 weeks while we were abroad. We kept in touch every 2 - 3 days via whats app. She brought her two small dogs with her and our dog had a great time with them. Stefanie has lots of dog experience as she fosters dogs and we were confident to leave Willoughby with her. House was lovely and clean upon our return. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you Cath, I did enjoy my stay at your modern home, looking after all the animals. My Westie is very much missing his new play buddy Willoughby 😢 Hoping to catch up again one day. Take care
Stefanie house sat for us again and looked after our wee fur baby and hens. Stefanie is terrific! I love having her come to stay and the house is always tidier when she has been staying! We even had lovely soup and home made bread to welcome us home. Looking forward to the next house sit with Stefanie!!!!

Thanks Christine, I'll happily look after Billie, the hens and your home again!
Stefanie came and looked after our darling maltese cross and our hens and home whilst we were overseas. She was beyond wonderful! My house was more organised on our return than when we left! Stefanie drove up to meet us before the stay to make sure the dogs were good together and to get a feel for the property and area. I really appreciated this! Stef is great with pets and Billie was taken on all sorts of adventures which she clearly enjoyed judging by the photos Stef sent over the ... MORE

Thank you very much Christine. It was an absolute pleasure to look after Billie, the hens and your home while you were overseas, and I'll happily do that again.
Quite simply, Stefanie was absolutely brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble. From visiting us to see if everything would work out, to looking after our house and Alan (Springer Spaniel!) I couldn’t fault her. We had no issue at all with trusting her with our house and with our little fella, Whilst we were away, she sent regular updates and photos, reassuring us all was great so that we had a lovely relaxing break. When we came home, the house was immaculate, Alan was happy, and clearly ... MORE

Thank you very much for your lovely review Angela & Charles. I would be happy to look after Alan again when you go away for a few days and can't take him. Please feel free to reach out anytime. Thanks again for your trust in me and the opportunity to spend some relaxing days at your home in ... MORE
