Good morning
Having peace of mind when you are away and knowing without a doubt that all your fur babies and prized possessions are being well looked after is crucial to being able to completely relax and enjoy your holiday
I aim to provide the absolute best care for your animals no matter how big or small and give them the same love and attention I would my own
Your home will be kept spotless and made ready for your arrival.
Gardens and lawns will be tended to and mail collected and put in a safe place
I am often asked to give pets medication or look after their specific needs which is never a problem and I am quite experienced in giving injections as well
Traveling fulltime means I can no longer have animals of my own, borrowing yours is the next best thing.
I have been housesitting for 20+ years nationally & internationally and am grateful to continue being part of such a fantastic network.
***
A bit of background should you be interested:
Having grown up on a farm in Hawkes Bay it is second nature to be with animals . I have ridden and competed on horses half of my life and worked on our sheep stud and cattle farm
So as you can imagine I am happy with all breeds, shapes and sizes...
From there I began my humble beginnings as a multi-sporter and cyclist, competing for many years in events around the country and abroad
Today I do like to keep fit albeit at a more relaxed pace with walking and a gym session or two. I am not away from the house too long during the day and I'm always in for dinner and the evenings.
Have a wonderful day and I look forward to hearing from you
Best wishes
Bridget Robertshawe

"Bridget is the most lovely person you could possibly wish to meet and to look after your home and precious 4 legged members of your family. Communication was excellent right from the start and it was so reassuring from our first chat that Bridget was going to be a brilliant housesitter and she certainly is! As soon as she came into the house the animal gang loved her and we're really calm and happy, so much so that they weren't at all bothered about us leaving. We got regular updates throughout the housesit and Bridget spent lots of time at home giving them company and cuddles. She coped brilliantly with our complicated regime of giving insulin to our diabetic cat and organising the different foods required for each pet. On our return the animals were so happy and content, it was obvious they'd had a wonderful time. The house was spotlessly clean and tidy. Feel very lucky if you get the chance to have Bridget as your housesitter, she's wonderful and we'd feel very fortunate to have her back in our home."

"Best sitter yet"
Bridget is an exceptional house sitter. Lovely person, great communicator, kind and caring.
The house and gardens were in excellent condition and the cats, chooks & sheep happy & well cared for.
Thoroughly recommend.
Thanks Bridget
Bridget has done an amazing job looking after all of our furry friends( dog,cats and guinea pigs) she left the house beautifully tidy and clean. She's very friendly and easy to communicate with. She kept us updated via WhatsApp with a couple of short videos and pictures, reassuring us while we were away. :) We would be more than happy to have Bridget house sit for us again next time.
It was lovely knowing we'd got Bridget as our house sitter. Her reviews are totally awesome and she has a great smile . Bridget did all our water ing and cared for our rambunctious cat. She got the gist of him. Absolutely fantastic.
Bridget has been amazing so accommodating after moving our days twice.
House was lovely clean and tidy to come home to and our cats both seem happy and relaxed.
Communication has been great. Would love to have Bridget stay again.
Bridget is fantastic, took great care of our cats and property.
Regular updates, super friendly, and made our holiday so much less stressful.
I would absolutely welcome Bridget into our home again in future
Thanks Bridget for allowing us an awesome week away and thank you for making the effort to get to Napier when the ferries were cancelled!
Enjoy your travels

Do not hesitate to have Bridget in your home. We highly recommend her.
She is lovely, so caring & respectful.
Our wee Patrick was very happy & the house was perfect.
Bridget was outstanding, after meeting her to start with, we knew she would fit our circumstances well, but she went over and above anything we expected. The house was left immaculate, we had great communication about "Jazz" during our holiday to put our minds at rest. Jazz is an oddball of a cat and takes a while to get to like people, but Bridget had him as her bestie on day one, we even had a video to prove it.
I'll definitely be asking Bridget to house/cat sit in future and would highly ... MORE
I have had Bridget come and care for my dog Rosie. They both have a real mutual affection for each other. Bridget walked Rosie heaps and took great care of her and my home. The house was immaculate when I returned from holiday. I would thoroughly recommend her for any house/pet sitting.
Bridget is blooming awesome if you are lucky enough to have her house sit for you :-D I forgot to leave the front garage key and then drove home a day early and she was still an absolute diamond. Same time next year??
Was such a relief having Bridget stay and look after our cats. She gave them lots of love and updated us quite a bit. Garden was well looked after too. Thanks Bridget!
As a first time user I am absolutely delighted with Bridget.
Jed ( dog ) was so well exercised and cared for and I came back to an immaculate house.
I would recommend her to anyone but you'll have to book early!
Very popular for good reason!
Thanks so much Bridget

Thank you once again Bridget for caring for Rosie and taking her for lots of walks,
This is the second time that Bridget looked after our dog and the chickens.
Bridget has always been very prompt replying to messages and has been extremely flexible regarding our plans going camping and inclement weather. In the end all plans eventuated :)
She has been a good communicator throughout the house sit.
When we returned the house was clean and tidy, dog and chickens happy.
We can highly recommend Bridget as a house sitter!
Bridget left my home absolutely spotless. She is just wonderful to have looking after my home and my wee dog Rosie loves all the walks and cuddles.
Bridget took excellent care of our dog, cat and chooks. The dog was taken out on regular long walks up the Grampians which kept her happily occupied. The house was spotless on our return. Communication was excellent regarding exactly when Bridget would arrive and then depart at the end, and it was great that she made the effort to meet us before we left so that we felt very comfortable entrusting our fur babies to her care. Thanks Bridget, we would definitely have you again.
Thank you very much Bridget.
Awesome home-sitter Great communication. All pets super happy. All my new plants were alive despite the heat - Gratitude . So nice to come home to a well cared for happy Thank you Bridget
Excellent communication at all times. Our pets and home were very well looked after. We would happily have Bridget sit again.
Bridget was great to communicate with and popped round for a 'meet & greet' prior to us leaving which was very comforting. We had text/video updates on how things were going and Douglas clearly enjoyed his time with Bridget. We came home to a clean house and a very happy pup. We would definitely recommend Bridget as house/pet sitter and have no hesitation in having her round again in future. Thank you!
Bridget has been a very 'professional' house-sitter in all respects. She showed great independence and professionalism in every aspect of the sit including cat-care, house-care and garden-care. Her communication was timely and she kept me updated with how Minnie was settling down with her new carer; she left Minnie, the house and the garden in very good order.
It was a pleasure to be able to help Bridget out with another night's stay when her travel arrangements at the end of the sit ... MORE
I would recommend Bridget to anyone who likes to come home from holiday and find a spotlessly clean and tidy house, with the bed ready to jump into and the lawns looking immaculate. Thank you Bridget
Bridget was absolutely fabulous! She took wonderful care of our home, garden and two cats and sent regular videos and updates. The house was left spotless. We couldn't be happier and would be very happy to recommend her to use her services again.
Bridget was wonderful to deal with from the very first conversation.
She really got to know Monty's routine and I know they had an amazing time together, going by the photos, stories and by the time we got home Monty was more happy to see her than us lol.
Bridget also left the house super tidy. We would love to have her sit for us again and would highly recommend her too.
We felt very happy to leave Bridget in charge of the house while we were away camping. She has years of experience looking after peoples houses and pets. She is a very capable person.
Upon our return we found our house clean and tidy, the dog well fed and exercised, the chickens looked after. Bridget is a very effective communicator and it has been a pleasure having her looking after our house. I hope she will be able to house sit again in the near future.
Bridget was great, we came home to freshly mowed lawns and a spotless house. She took really good care of Fergus our dog, who obviously loved getting so much exercise with Bridget on lots of walks. Highly recommended.
Bridget was a life saver after having multiple house sits fall through. She did a wonderful job caring for our cat and dog who is now fitter then when we left. It was also nice to come home to a sweet treat. Highly recommended
Bridget looked after our house, garden and pets for three and a half weeks. She did a wonderful job and we came back to a very clean and tidy home, lawns mowed and garden looking fab. She had excellent communication and sent through updates while we were away which was nice. Thoroughly recommended.
We had Bridget care for our pets and stock on our lifestyle block at the begining of September. We have 2 cats,a dog, a pony, 6 sheep and 21 calves and 6 chickens. Bridget did an excellent job, the animals were content and happy and she kept us updated during the sit which gave us peace of mind. Bridget is very capable of caring for a wide variety of animals and does so with love. The house was clean and tidy upon her return. We were very lucky to have her care for our pets and stock and ...

Bridget was a great housesitter. We worked off very short notice and she was more than happy to come and look after our property and pets. The house was cleaner than when we left it, even a cake baked for a Welcome Home present! We would happily use Bridget again or recommend her to others.
: We found Bridget to be a warm friendly person at our first meeting, and one of our normally shy fur babies wasted no time in meeting and greeting her. The fur babies were well cared for as was our home. We have no hesitation in recommending Bridget to others. We will certainly grab her again.
Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
