😺Peace of Mind😻
Single professional, non-smoker, caring, reliable, and trustworthy.
Hello, I have been housesitting for over 6 yrs now and have been so fortunate to have stayed in many lovely homes in Bay of Plenty, Taupo & Auckland.
I'm from Christchurch, however I have been living in Tauranga the past 11 years or so. For the past year I have been house-sitting throughout the North Island, tho I am in Akl & Tauranga quite often.
The gorgeous pets I have cared for include cats, dogs, rabbits, fish, sheep, chickens, cows, and guinea pigs.
I do prefer to look after cats as I can go to work during the day (Please note: I do not work from home, I work as a temp) if you have a dog that can be left for the day that may work to?
I love meeting new pets and especially love to catch up with wee friends I have cared for in the past. I absolutely adore cats and dogs, and have met some very interesting characters along the way! and I look forward to meeting many more. I grew up with a Cat and dog, and just love their company and playing with them, and don't mind at all if they snuggle up in bed. I'm also happy to administer medication and flea treatments etc. and take your wee friend to the vet if required.
I can assure you that your house will be spotless on your return and I will treat it as if it were my own home, I'm quite the perfectionist. More than happy to water plants, garden etc. and really whatever else needs to be done, you only have to ask. I don't have green fingers therefore my gardening experience is very limited & sorry, I don't mow lawns 😊 I do bring my own food and other essential items for the duration of my stay. I can also provide my own sheets and towels should this be required.
Whilst your away I will keep in regular contact via text, Messenger or WhatsApp with a brief update and a photo or 2.
Where possible it's nice to meet with the homeowner and pet/s in person, or via Messenger, WhatsApp etc. prior to the house sit.
Please contact me for availability, I look forward to meeting with you.
Take Care

Rima looked after our home beautifully as well as keeping all my plants alive and was a very good carer for our elderly cat, Sooty. We had lots of posts of a happy cat and also our happy plants! We had great communication.
Unfortunately, because of an accident, we were delayed by 9 days & Rima stayed on which was such a blessing.
We would highly recommend Rima as a very reliable house sitter. We will certainly see if she is available when we need another sitter. Thank you so much, Rima.😊

Rima was a dream housesitter. I received lots of photos while away and came back to a very happy cat and a lovely clean house. I’d highly recommend her to anyone.

It was great having Rita as a last minute house sitter. She was very easy to communicate with and I'd have her again. Everything went t o plan.

Rima sat for me for nearly 3 months and when I arrived back home my little cat barely remembered me she had become besties with Rima who has obviously won her over completely! Was great to see she had settled so well with Rima! The house was lovely, clean and tidy. I hope if I ever need to travel overseas again Rima will be available! I was very nervous about the House Sitter process, but now I'm sold. Thank-you Rima - Cloud says smooch!

Rima was a fantastic house/pet sitter. We particularly liked how great she was at communicating with us, and we loved getting pics of our cat while we were away. Everything was in tip top condition when we arrived home. Would highly recommend Rima.
SARAH (Waihi Beach North Island, May 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Rima is absolutely awesome. She is very calm, very communicative and my very nervous cat took to her immediately. She left the house looking beautiful and I swear some of my plants grew with her good energy in the whare! I would not hesitate to recommend her to other people to take care of their pets.
PHOEBE (Auckland North Island, Mar 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
A massive thank you to Rima, who housesat for me at short notice for two weeks. She has a lovely nature and my house was spotlessly clean when I got back. Most importantly, I didn't worry about my home once while I was gone as I knew it was in good hands. This is the first time I've had a house sitter, so I'm really thrilled that Rima did such a great job and I'd 100% ask her again and recommend her to others.
PAULA (Waihi North Island, Mar 2024 - 2 weeks 1 night)
Rima was a fabulous house sitter. Excellent communication before and during the house sit. Rima left our house lovely and clean and our pets were well looked after. I recommend her as a house sitter.
KERRY (Auckland North Island, Feb 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
We want to give Rima a huge thank you! Rima was an incredible caregiver to our lovely Riki and took great care of the house, house plants and the garden. Rima also regularly updated us on Riki during the stay. Highly recommend!

Despite not meeting Rima in person I can say she is a great communicator and took amazing care of my Cat. The house was clean and tidy on my return. I would recommend her services looing for a stellar house sitter.

Rena kindly offered to housesit my elderly dog at very short notice. It was lovely to come home after a break away to a very contented dog and an immaculate house thank you so much Rena

Rima recently house-sat for me, primarily to look after and love my little cat Domino.
I returned to a lovely clean house and contented and well-fed cat.
Rima's communications before, during and following the house-sit were excellent and she sent me lots of updates and photos while I was away.
I would recommend Rima whole-heartedly. Thank you again Rima

Rima is a great house sitter and we have now had her to look after our high maintenance Burmese cats numerous times. Communication is fantastic with lots of updates and photos. The house is always spotless and sheets and towels washed. We love having Rima as a house sitter and will continue to request her for all our holidays. Chris
CHRIS (tauranga North Island, May 2020 - various)
Rima house sat for us for 4 weeks. She was willing to meet me before hand so I could talk to her.
Rima kept the house tidy and spotless. She looked after our 2 cats and 2 bunnies, she did a fabulous job taking care of our little ones. She would send photos of them every week with a quick update of how things were. I have no hesitation in recommending Rima for any house sitting roles.
ANCY (Papamoa Beach North Island, Jan 2020 - 4 weeks)
Rima was very easy to deal with and popped over to meet me before the housesit.
Communication was prompt and my cats and house very well looked after.
Thanks Rima and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Tahlia

Rims was a great sitter for my lovely cat Daisy. Daisy does not take to everyone, but from day 1 she thought Rima was the bees knees. Rima was quick and easy to communicate with and kept me updated on Daisy while I was away. Would not hesitate to recommend her.
REBECCA (Bellevue North Island, May 2019 - 1 month 1 week)
Rima looked after my house and two cats for six weeks. When I came back the house was immaculate, and the cats clearly well looked after. As well, she emailed each week with a brief update so I would know all was well. I'd happily ask Rima to housesit for me again.
FRANCES (Matua North Island, Aug 2018 - 1 month 2 weeks)
It was a positive experience using a house sitter for the first time. Rima is very reliable and a great communicator. She got on well with our cat and we found the house clean and tidy on our return. Happy to use her service again. Thank you Rima and best wishes for the future! Mel and Rene
MELANIE (Gate Pa North Island, Jul 2018 - 2 months 1 week)
Rima came to look after my home and beloved pussycat for the month of June 2018. I cant speak of her highly enough and 100% recommend her to other home owners. My home was in an immaculate condition when I came home and my cat seemed to have decided Rima was better than me and ignored me preferring to cuddle Rima instead!
So all in all it was an ideal situation and I would call Rima again in a heartbeat should I need to leave my home for an extended period.
