Kia ora,
I am housesitting while I get to know the Tauranga area and will be working at a local school during the day.
I grew up on a diary farm and have regularly looked after my daughter's lifestyle block caring for cats, dogs, kune kune pigs, chickens, miniature horses, sheep and cows. I would love to care for your beloved pets too. I enjoy gardening and the outdoors and would be happy to also look after your garden and house plants.
I am tidy, clean and responsible and would look after your home and animals as my own.
I am open to shorter or longer term stays.
Looking forward to talking with you if you think I may be the right fit for you.

Lorraine

Reviews (8)
Lorraine was great to communicate with right from the get-go, and kindly took the time to pop round for a 'meet & greet' prior to us leaving which was very comforting. We had regular text/video updates on how things were going and Douglas clearly enjoyed his time with Lorraine. We came home to a sparkling home, beautifully maintained lawns and a very content pup. We highly recommend Lorraine as house/pet sitter and have no hesitation in having her round again in future. Brilliant in every way. ... MORE

Lorraine was awesome with all communication, and the care of our newly acquired rehomed GSD Misha. Lorraine was not fazed by the quirks we were trying to manage/sort, thus we felt very confident to leave her in our home knowing she would do a fantastic job and our dog would be very well cared for. Thank you Lorraine! We very highly recommend Lorraine, she's very pleasant and friendly, very capable, and just a really lovely lady.

Very happy with Lorraine looking after my pets and home. The pets were very happy and relaxed when I got home and had obviously been very well cared for. The house was well cared for and clean and tidy. Great communication while I was away. Thanks Lorraine.
 
GLENDA (Mount Maunganui North Island, Sep 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Lorraine took excellent care of our 3 fur babies and also our family home. Communication from the very first contact to after stay follow up was prompt and clear. Would happily use Lorraine again and recommend to anyone else.

Lovely to meet Lorraine before going on my six week holiday. She took wonderful care of my house and fur baby. Would definitely recommend.
 
JUDITH (Ohauiti North Island, Jul 2024 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Lorraine was an amazing house and pet sitter for us. She is totally reliable, honest and trustworthy. It was wonderful to come home to well loved and cared for pets and the house was just as we left it. We felt very honoured that she was able to look after our pets and house. Thank you Lorraine!
 
LYNDA (Otumoetai North Island, Jun 2024 - 2 weeks 2 nights)
Lorraine is a lovely person to deal with. We had great friendly communication and she worked in well with our plans. Our dog adored her and was very happy and calm when we returned. It was lovely to be able to relax away from home knowing that our home and pets were being cared for by such a trustworthy person. We wholeheartedly recommend Lorraine, thanks so much for your love and care!
 
ANDREW (Te Puna North Island, May 2024 - 3 nights)
Aww such kind and thoughtful words. Thank you Andrew and Linley.
Lorraine did an outstanding job of looking after our home and animals. She communicated regularly and when we got home the house was extremely clean and tidy. Animals were all very content. Would highly recommend.
