Hi. I have looked after houses, pets and for 40 years worked with children (pets are much easier!) so I am super patient and love spending quality time with those I am minding treating them as if they were my own. I'm a reliable, caring, animal lover and I'm sure you will relax and enjoy your time away with me 'at the helm'.

It's important to maintain your pets established routines and communicate with you regularly during the sit.

Taking care of your home is a priority for me so that you find it just as you left it - no surprises.

At this stage in my life I would feel happier balance-wise, minding cats or smaller dogs (the size of the cats doesn't matter!!!)

Over the years I've had many pets myself .. a horse, cats, dogs and birds (many of those rescue birds, including a tui). I like to think of myself as an 'animal person'.

Gardening, reading and various arty crafty projects make me happy.

I have referees that are available to provide details of past pet sits.

OUTSTANDING !! That's Jude. I have had housesitters before BUT NONE OF THE HIGH CALIBRE OF JUDE, Honest, caring, house proud, and kind. My two precious cats were so well looked after. (They missed her when she left) She gave them a lot of love and care and formed a strong bond with them. Jude sent me photos & txts to let me know how they were. I received photos of two very chilled out cats. The garden was thriving & house immaulate. Even washed her sheets & towels, She knew I would be tired ... MORE

Jude is wonderful, kind-hearted lady. She took great care of our senior cat Tigger and our home. We had regular updates including lovely pictures and videos. Our home was immaculately tidy on our return and she prepared a nice supper for us to enjoy. We recommend Jude without any reservations!

We are so happy that we found Jude, we were away for nearly 4 months and Jude coped brilliantly with every challenge that cropped up, the animals love her to bits (infact I think they were slightly disappointed when we returned), she went above and beyond in every way to make sure that they were happy, loved and cared for, and sent us lots of photos and wee videos. She took care of the garden, house, pool, planted veges for us to enjoy, sorted out my roses and potted up lots of seedlings. Jude ... MORE
 
SHARON (Reikorangi , Sep 2023 - 3 months 3 weeks)
Jude is awesome! She came and looked after our bossy cat for just over 3 weeks while we were in the UK seeing family, and I can’t recommend her enough. Right from the outset her communication was fantastic, and then she sent photos and messages about how they were getting on while we were away. She also wrote a hilarious letter to us from our cat for our return. The house was immaculate when we returned, and she had even baked a delicious dessert and organized an evening meal for us, and ... MORE
 
ALICE (Masterton North Island, Jul 2023 - 3 weeks)
Jude was an absolute pleasure to have to house sit and pet sit for us. She provided Coco and Cassie with the attention and affection that they needed as pampered pooches. She even took them to day care so they did not miss out on seeing their friends. Jude communicated and let us know that the doggies were settled and sent us photos to reassure us. Jude even changed the sheets on her bed and washed them for us. We came home to our house as we left it, fire going and everything warm and very ... MORE
