Hi there, I am a kiwi, have owned my own home and many much loved pets also experienced with farm animals as used to breed Scottish Highland cattle.
I am quiet, a non smoker, and very security conscious so will look after both your loved pets and property with care.
I started house sitting when I lost my Red Heeler "Lilly" and just found it so hard to get another dog, so house sitting gives me that opportunity to look after other peoples pets.
Go to different towns and cities, try my hand at busking, as music is an absolute passion of mine, and a couple of the dogs I have looked after have come busking with me.
I have done over 110 house sits now, mostly from repeat ones of families who trust me with their pets and homes
I find it such a joy to be able to help people in this small way, while in return giving me the closeness and love of animals.
You will also see in my photo gallery, it is all about the animals.
The ginger kitten is one of 4 kittens I rescued before lockdown 4, dumped under a bridge, unfortunately 3 were deceased (but I did take them home and bury them. I kept "Thomas" he helped keep me sane for 6 weeks. I have now found him an extraordinary home. The last photo another dumped grey kitten "Violet" managed to get this little girl well again and also into an amazing new home.
I highly recommend Helen to look after your fur babies and home.
I have never left my dog or used a house sitter before so was really stressing out before going on holiday and I really truly didn't need to be. I came back to a very relaxed happy dog and cat that had obviously been loved and taken care of and a spotless house. I will definitely give Helen a call and hope she's not booked the next time we go away.
Complete trust in Helen, whose approach to our little qwerky dog was professional, patient and loving. Came home to a tidy house and a happy, relaxed dog. Highly recommend Helen — we would definitely use her again.
Helen was a great house/dog sitter for two weeks while we were away. House was immaculate and clean when we got home, which was very much appreciated. Would recommend.
Thanks Helen for looking after Jess and our home.
Highly recommend Helen. Jess was very happy and Helen had such a lovely way with her.
Communication was excellent and we would definitely ask Helen to housesit again. Thanks!
Helen was great. On time, fast with her replies, cheerful and polite. The old cat was very happy.
Helen was amazing! Max (dog) and GiGi (cat) Loved her. I think they miss her 😃 House was spotless when we arrived home from our cruise. We met a couple.of times before our trip and went away knowing my furbabies and home where in good hands. She's the best!!!
Highly recommend. Animals happy , house clean and Helen lovely to deal with throughout.
We so enjoy having Helen return to us again to care for our lovely Oscar. She is a lovely lady who cares for him as if he is her own and looks after every need for him. She is very respectful and careful in our home and we would be sure to have her stay again at any time. Thank you so much Helen, you are a star.
I am 100% happy to recommend Helen as a housesitter. We were away for two weeks and Helen looked after the house and our cat and dog as if they were her own. I cannot tell you how lovely it was so return home to an immaculate house and happy animals. She is a great communicator and a cool lady. Thanks Helen!
Helen was a great house and sitter for our little dog- Kai. She looked after him as if he was her own, taking him on daily walks and attending to his needs. Our home was left immaculate with a detailed note summarising the week. Helen kept in close communication with us throughout the house sit which helped with peace of mind. Would deinitily recommend Helen and would have her back anytime!
Helen, was absolutely amazing for us, arrived at 5am after travelling for nearly 3 hours, one of our dogs escaped and was missing for 20 minutes, but Helen was great, very calm, eventually we found our dog and was able to leave for the airport. On our return, the house was immaculate and both our dogs were looking fab, and were very calm on our arrival, and sorry to see Helen leave. Marvellous house and dog sitter.
Helen was a fantastic house and pet-sitter. She looked after our dog and two cats brilliantly and left the house in immaculate condition. She was a good communicator and very easy to deal with. Overall we were thrilled with her and would not hesitate to have her housesit for us again.
We were so thrilled to find Helen, she was amazing with our little Lowchen puppy Eevee. Helen sent regular updates which was lovely. We felt like she really cared for Eevee and was 100% diligent with her safety and committed to looking after her. Helen exceeded our expectations with dog training, cleaning and leaving behind some extra treats for Eevee and kept things at home just like Eevee was used to. Would highly recommend Helen to everyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet ... MORE
Helen took excellent care of our house and our cat Sesyl while we were overseas for a week. Her communication was always prompt and clear. Helen took great care of Sesyl and formed a bond with him while she was there. When we returned, the house was immaculate, linen washed and even a fresh bottle of milk in the fridge. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing their home occupied or pets taken care of. Thank you Helen, we look forward to having you house sit again in the future!
Highly recommended Helen. Great communication from the start. Very flexible & easy going. Felt comfortable leaving our elderly cat who was recovering from a stoke with her. On our return both cats were happy & relaxed and the house immaculate. Will definitely use Helen again should the opportunity arise!
Helen was a gift. She cared for my baby boy so well. Loved him brushed and fed. Walked him and taught him some better behaviour: she cared for my home and left it immaculately. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again ( hopefully)
We love Helen she has become part of our family.
Jed was so relaxed and happy, our garden looks great and house was very clean and immaculate.Helen is a 5 Star housesitter
Helen made our first experience of leaving our precious dogs at home with a sitter a wonderful experience. From the first contact, Helen was communicative and helpful, doing everything she could to reassure us that she would take good care of our two very pampered boys. She was more than willing to accommodate all of our requirements for the boys and she made it abundantly clear to us that the dogs would be her top priority and that she would love and care for them as her own. She put up with ... MORE
I cannot fault Helen as a sitter. Our priority was our wee dog, who is easy to look after, but can be sensitive and has her quirks. She was obviously at ease and happy with Helen, and we will be using her again if available. Helen is a prompt communicator, and is conscientious around house and garden, but above all she is a really knowledgable and genuine dog lover. can highly recommend.
Helen was absolutely amazing with Cosmo and my home and small garden. Such a wonderful woman with so much talent, skills and great energy on all levels. i welcome Helen back into my home anytime to simply 'take over' the reins. Thank you so much Helen.
I can't praise Helen enough, she is an amazing person to have house and pet sit for us. Her main priority was our loveable Staffy, Oscar whom she treated as if he were her own. We came home to a very chilled out pet after his time with Helen. She is a caring, organised and respectful person who looked after both our pet and home extremely well. Her communication is excellent and I would certainly recommend her to other pet owners.
Helen did the most wonderful job of looking after our home and little dog. Lacey can be an anxious little thing but with Helens obvious love and care she made us feel very happy about leaving her in such capable hands. We would love to have Helen back another time and we know that Lacey would too! Thanks so much Helen.
Helen looked after our house and pets for 3 weeks. Having never used a house sitter before we were naturally a bit nervous but we were put at ease the minute we meet Helen. Her love for pets is obvious as is her respect for people and property. Helen had excellent communication and we wouldn't hesitate recommending her to others. We hope Helen will sit for us again some time.
I could not speak highly enough of Helen. She was great at communicating and was very pleasant and helpful to deal with.
Helen is obviously an animal person and from the moment she arrived our two dogs were the centre of her attention. We felt very relaxed going away and leaving our house and fur babies in her capable hands.
When we returned the house in lovely and clean and tidy and dogs happy.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a Housesitter and would love to have her ... MORE
Helen arrived before we departed to meet our pets, immediately I recognised we had a person who was genuine, trustworthy and caring, and I felt completely at ease leaving Helen with our pets and home. It didn't take long for our trio of two dogs and one cat to take a shine to Helen and build a lovely trusting relationship over the week. Helen left our home beautifully clean and tidy which was lovely to arrive home too. Additionally, our garden was well watered which was a saviour over the ... MORE
Helen was absolutely amazing! It was so lovely to come from home from 2 weeks away to find happy pets, well cared for gardens and immaculately clean home - possibly even tidier than before we went! Helen's communication was fabulous and she assured us on many occasion that everything was fine and the pets were all going along well. She had her work cut out for her with 2 cats, a young pup and chickens, but you could tell she went the extra mile to make sure all were well loved and given special ... MORE
Helen was a great house sitter and I would thoroughly recommend her! I was very nervous leaving our two dogs as one dog especially can be difficult and nervy - they obviously had lots of fun and love as they kept looking for her after we came home!! Must have been the 3 walks a day! The house was well looked after too! Great to come home to a clean tidy house! Thank you so much Helen.
Helen once again was a perfect Housesitter and took care of our dog Marlowe like she was her own. Highly recommend and look forward to having Helen back again.
Helen was a great sitter. Our shy cat loved her and very much appreciated the brushing each day. There was great communication from Helen and would recommend her highly.
Helen's house sit with Pippa was excellent. It was evident that Pippa was well cared for and had a happy time with her walks. When we arrived home we found an immaculately tidy house and thoughtful notes from Helen about the house sit and even some valuable insights on horticulture advice. All very much appreciated. She is highly recommended as a house sitter.
