DogLoverExtrodinaire

48, Counsellor

Kia ora, Hi all!
Please note, no cat sitting requests please! My dog is not good with cats, or fowl, lizards, or bunnies! I previously had this at the end of my profile but due to several requests lately I'll put it at the front of my profile also..

As well as the 75 references shown here from past house sitting sites (including this one & in Australia), I have my own pet page on fb - please contact me for the link. I am on Pawshake and have 85 reviews on Airbnb. I also can provide phone numbers and details of people I have house-sitted for previously.

Your pet and home will be safe with me! I am a very experienced & trustworthy pet/housesitter,. I work from home 99% of the time and this summer I don't work at all (or it would be online only) so I will always be with the dogs/pets. I am a devoted animal lover.

Your dog, pets and home are safe with me! I am loving and kind. I adore dogs. I have had a dog most of my adult life. I have looked after all kinds of dogs, from small to big. It is best we look after just one dog at a time at your home preferably as then I have time and attention focussed on the wellbeing of your darling dog/s plus it is easier for the dogs being a pair than being a threesome (packs etc).

My love of and understanding of dogs should not be underestimated. They will be my best friend and constant companion while on your house-sit. If you need someone, ask me! I am currently interested in loving your fur babies & home or your property, keeping it upheld and safe.

I bring with me my 12 year old adorable Cavoodle Companion Cavalier x Cattle dog. He is 100% toilet trained, quiet, clean & healthy. He is socialised & clean. He is indoor/outdoor. I am a Counsellor. Stanley and I are active and happily will walk with your dog daily for however long you need. I am experienced in house-sitting with 20 years experience, have many references, a police check & a love of animals that is genuine. I am very neat & clean. I am house-proud

I believe I can help make your pets happy, keep your home safe. I would truly cuddle your pets for you & keep your home as pristine as I found it, with errands done. I can water plants & check your mail, (although I am not a professional gardener, please keep that in mind.i can't weed but I can mow, use a leaf blower,

I can keep the bird bath full, feed the fish, the birds, the tortoise, walk the dogs & make them my best friends while there. I truly love all animals and they will be showered with love, attention, acceptance, friendship and kindness while with my dog and myself. They receive my individual attention and are treated like family.

They will get at least one walk a day including a beach visit or a wet or dry park (securely fenced park on the waters edge so they can have a swim, fish etc). I offer pet feeding, dog walking, pampering, medication administering if they need it, and watering in your home anytime as well as bins, mail, security light etc.

Let sleeping dogs lie - no kennels, no stressed pets! They'll be comfortable and content in their home environment and you'll receive regular updates on your pet via text/phone calls.I will leave your home as clean as I found it.

I'm not a house keeper in that I wont do your laundry and clean an already dirty home, but I will upkeep an already clean home and my role is to keep your home up-kept, clean, tidy, neat, and your beloved pet safe and sound, and keep your them happy and loved.

I have been a dog owner for many years. I have been on three house- sit sites for this time where I have received loads of references and endorsements, as you can see below. My dog is de-sexed, vaccinated and healthy. I am safe, healthy, caring and kind. I have an Australian & New Zealand Federal Police Check for myself & Vaccination certificate for myself & my dog!

Please contact me to enquire. I am sorry that my dog is not good with cats, guinea pigs, pet lizards or fowl He is great with other dogs though!

Best regards,

Nynee

(NB: Phone numbers of the owners are available on request per reference- This is just some of the last five years of house-sitting references-I also have a folder of references going back to 2007 I could share with you plus as I said earlier, I have a profile on airbnb with 75 reviews and am on pawshake as well with the same amount of reviews/references!. I have been house sitting for a long time on and off hence the amount of reviews)

All was great, thanks! Nynee did a great job looking after our house and 2 cats over a few days and nights. She was very thorough, and communicated well and the cats really like her. Thanks Nynee (please note I cannot do cat sits now that my dog is with me).

Thanks again Nynee. hope you are well.

Nynee looked after my dogs and house recently. She sent me updates, took them to the beach, played with them & upkept the house. Her dog Stan was no problem.. Thanks Nynee.. Coolum March 2022.

Nynee has been absolutely amazing looking after my girl and my house -but to me my fur baby is most important-I would welcome her back here any day -my house is spotless on my return and my girl very happy and smelling nice after she managed to roll in "something" she is now smelling sweet again Thank you! I have a very nervous 11year old cocker spaniel named Stella -I rescued her 7 years ago at the age of 4 -she definitely had had a traumatic start to life and I don't take her on holidays with me as her home is her security now -She was very anxious when Nynee and her beautiful boy first came often it takes 24 hours or more for her to be comfortable with someone new -but due to the gentle persuasion and giving her space she was soon heading over for pats and hugs . Nynee has been so terrific in keeping in touch -and checking her for ticks etc and I was able to reassure her that Stella had only just had her Bravecto tablet . Thank you once again for the loving care you have given my girl -very happy to recommend you to anyone who is looking for care for their fur baby. Cheers Elizabeth. Murrumba Downs.

Jan, Maryborough. January 2022
Nynee and her dog have looked after our darling Charlie on several occasions & I felt confident that he would be well looked after, and that he was. Nynee & I have remained friends ever since!

"Where do we begin? From the very start, Nynee was brilliant. Easy to communicate with (quick replies!), easy going and punctual. Our two dogs were pampered and loved to the extent that they were sad to see her (and her gorgeous dog) leave! Our home was left beautifully and we were able to enjoy a fabulous holiday knowing that our much loved fur babies were in expert hands - we got daily updates too! Nynee, thank you for everything! You are wonderful! Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job!!! Really truly you are so lovely and have gone above and beyond!" Caroline, Carina, Jan 2022.

Ann, Dec 2021. Pacific Pines.
Nyneeis a real doggie joe. Your pooch will be pampered! X
She looked after my house and took care of my dog for me for two nights in December. The house was left as tidy on the return as it had been left for Nynee and her dog Stan. My dog had a fantastic two days with them. She sent photos as updates which I really enjoyed receiving. I would absolutely recommend her! I was very happy and grateful for their help.'I was extremely happy with everything. Thanks for looking after my little house and Blakey. I'm very grateful.'
Samantha, Benowa. Dec, 2021.

Rating: 5.0 THEIR REVIEW OF YOU: Nynee and her dog Stan were fantastic and caring of our naughty puppy, even replacing his collar when he chewed up his own. She messaged with pics and updates on our boy, which was very comforting. The house was clean & tidy on our return as we left it and plants were all watered.

Thank you for taking care of our baby and home.
Everything is in perfect order. You are a gem.

Jan/Feb 2020:
Dear Nynee
Thank you for adoring my dog Bella, for keeping my home safe, neat, tidy and clean and for caring for the gardens, mowing, whipper-snippering & leaf blowing. It was a load off my mind knowing I could enjoy my holiday with my dog being loved & home looked after so well. On my return, with only one day off then back to work I really appreciated not having to mow the lawn, having the gardens looked after so well. You watered and cared for my place and dog as you would your own, everything was as I left it, I returned to the same lovely home I left. I am glad you and Stanley enjoyed your stay. Bella loved the two daily walks and cuddles I am sure.
Thanks,

Carol, Coolum, Jan-Feb 2020.

REFERENCE from Colleen and Peter, Bundaberg, April 2017.

"Thank you to Nynee and Stanley for housesitting for us for two weeks. Nynee took on our housesit at short notice due to a cancellation and we were most grateful. The house, pot plants and gardens were well maintained in our absence. We found her honest, reliable and very friendly. We appreciated her contact with text messages and the follow up with replaying any messages which were important to us. As a matter of convenience, she has since visited and stayed with us and I dog-sat Stanley one day. I consider Nynee will endeavour to "do a good job" with any house sit that she commits to."

REFERENCE from Donna Turner, Coningsby. Jan 2017.

"To Whom It May Concern,

We were lucky enough to have Nynee house sit for us while we went on holidays for 3 weeks and to look after our beautiful boy, Benji, a Maltese Shih Tzu. Upon our return, it was clear that Stan (Nynee's dog) and Benji had become the best of friends in a short space of time as they were happily playing the whole time in our company. The house was immaculate on our return and it was clear that Nynee had taken extra care to keep the house clean, collect the mail, maintained the upkeep on our pool and even mowed our yard! All of this was above and beyond what we expected and we were most thankful for her caring nature.
We would have no hesitation in recommending her for anyone who is after someone who is responsible, courteous, well experienced with animals and trustworthy.

Kind Regards,

Donna.'

REFERENCE from Mark. Agnes Waters. February 2017.

"My first time using a house sitter, turned out to be a great experience. Nynee did a great job, upon my return, the house was spotless, Maggie my dog was happy, and the whole experience happened without any hassles or worries. She did a great job, Stanley was awesome and so well behaved, I would certainly recommend Nynee and Stanley and will be using them again in the future."
