Happy Kiwi Girl

60, Office Manager

Hi, I'm Kim and I live in Motueka.
I'm available for short term cat sits in the local area and Oamaru and Central Otago between 20 Dec and 13 Jan approx.
I work part time in Motueka and involved in the Nelson community as Treasurer for a local charity and the SPCA as a volunteer and foster Mum for cats.
I own my own home and use Kiwi Housesitters for my sitters so I know and understand what your requirements and expectations are.
During the last 30 years I've had my own animals including cats, fish, dogs and alpacas and assisted on a casual basis with Guide Dogs, Assistance Dogs and Therapy Dogs.
I am single, fit and healthy and enjoy music, mushroom photography, gardening and being creative. I'm a non-smoker and live a quiet and peaceful life. I am police checked and a certificate is available on request.
You would find me warm, caring, attentive and respectful of your home and most definitely full of love and cuddles for your fur babies.
Hope to speak with you soon 😊

This human's attitude to feeding me was even better than my usual slave who went away for 5 nights. Kim totally looked after me and musta been good because the other cat who's uber-shy let Kim stroke her. She didn't make scary loud noises or move my toys around not like my usual slave and when I looked at the fridge she could just about read my mind and she kept me nice and warm lighting the logburner. and didn't occupy my sofa. Yep we'd like to have her back again.

Meow meow Mr Stripey 💜. You are welcome and hopefully I'll get to see you sooner rather than later 🤗💞
Kim was amazing. She left our house in perfect condition and took amazing care of our elderly cat. We would have her back anytime.

Kim was a delight. She was warm and kind and accommodating to our very specific cat and house needs. My two indoor 9yr old cats loved her. I could tell because they didn't come to us craving attention when we got home, they got plenty from Kim and it filled them up. Perfect. She capably handled our cats' medical needs, some in the last minute! Kim treated our home with great care, managing our ample requests with understanding. It's nice to go away and feel like you can leave everything in ... MORE

Thank you so much for your kind words Angela. It was my pleasure looking after your boys and home. I look forward to coming back for another visit :). Thanks again.
Kim house and cat sat for us for 5 nights recently and we definitely chose the right person. She made a special trip to our house to meet us and our dear cat Meg prior to our holiday, we really appreciated this and very much enjoyed meeting her and chatting. We all liked Kim instantly including Meg! Our house was immaculate when we got home, probably cleaner than when we left! Most importantly our cat Meg was happy and content and obviously very well cared for, Kim even sent us a photo of her ... MORE

Thank you sooo much for yr lovely words Charlotte and Doug. It was my pleasure to look after your beautiful home and I really enjoyed sharing it with Meg. She was the perfect hostess . I hope I can do it again for you one day. Warmest wishes Kim
Kim is a total delight & we had such peace of mind knowing she was talking care of our energetic little Mini Schnauzer. We came home to clean bedding, an immaculate house & she even dinner cooked for us. Hope we can nab you for future sits. THANK YOU!
 
JACQUI (Port Motueka South Island, Sep 2022 - 2 days)
Thank you for your lovely review and yes I hope I can do it again for you sometime
We had the pleasure of having Kim house sit, but more importantly, babysit our 11 year old miniature schnauzer - Miss Poppy. We would highly reccomend Kim, she is a lovely lady and took amazing care of our home & dog. We would definitely have her come and stay again.
 
TANIA (Mapua , Aug 2022 - 7 days)
Aaawwww thank you sooo much Tania. I absolutely loved Miss Poppy and your peaceful home. I'd come back anytime!
Kim house sat on our lifestyle block. She was really easy to get along with and we immediately felt at ease with her. She's a great communicator. Would highly recommend Kim.
