Caring Pet Pal

Kia ora,

I am an independent Kiwi originally from Christchurch, and I would love to look after your furry friends and home while resettling in the South!

Having grown up rurally with numerous pets, I love animals and wildlife, and I enjoy caring for all sorts of animals. I also have plenty of experience with looking after other people's pets, plants and homes.

I am tidy, responsible, and attentive to my surroundings, and I enjoy gardening, fitness and being active outdoors.

If you are looking for a caring and reliable house-sitter, please feel free to get in touch!

Joni is the perfect housesitter in every way, she even went beyond what was expected of her. Like washing and ironing the sheets she had used. She showed real concern for the animals and sent us daily updates. I would happily have her back next time and recommend her in a heart beat.

Joni was an excellent housesitter, quiet and respectful, with great communication whilst we were away. We came home to happy pets, a spotless house and the washing done. We would definitely recommend Joni and hope to have her back again sometime if dates align. Thank you Joni, great job!

Joni was great at communication and looked after Honey very well. We were very comfortable using her to look after our home and furbaby. The house was immaculate on our return. We would definately use Joni again if she was available.

Joni is a very pleasant lady to deal with. Everything is so easy with her and her communication is really good. She sent us regular updates and photos of our little mischief pup. Bobbie formed a strong bond with Joni and we would 100% recommend her as she clearly loves animals and looks after them with a lot of love and attention. We arrived home to a clean and tidy home. Having Joni as our housesitter made for a stress free holiday and couldn't have asked for more.

We were very lucky to have Joni as our house/pet sitter for the two weeks we were away. Our little dog Billy was well cared for and when we returned our house was super clean and tidy! Joni sent us messages and photos to keep us up to date and made everything very easy for us. Thanks, Joni, for all you did for Billy and us. We would love to have you back next time we are away somewhere :)

Joni left the house absolutely immaculate. I could see the pets were well looked after including the cattle and sheep. The gardens were watered and everything we asked her to do was done.She also gave clear and concise updates. I would certainly recommend Joni as an excellent and reliable house sitter. We appreciated this service.
