Remote worker

57, Archaeologist

I have moved to Otautahi for the year to complete the final write-up of my PhD. I study Maaori archaeological textiles from the Banks Peninsula and wanted to be near the sites while I finish writing.
I largely work from home, but occasionally tutor.
I have spent the last year housesitting in Gisborne after losing my home in Cyclone Gabrielle.
I love caring for cats, dogs, and especially chickens.
I seldom use social media.
I have references from past housesits on request.

Lisa was a great pet and house sitter. The house was left clean and tidy and she had excellent communication, giving us updates on our pets during her stay. Our elderly pets were clearly very well loved and looked after by her. Definitely recommend, thanks Lisa! 😊

We were very lucky to have Lisa look after our house and our dog while we were away. Superb ! ..... and our broad beans have never grown so fast ! We look forward to another opportunity to have you house sit for us again !

First time using kiwi house sitters, very impressed with Lisa. Her communication was fantastic. I came home to a very clean house and 2 happy pugs. Would recommend Lisa to anyone needing their house and animals looked after. Thanks again Lisa, will gladly have you house sit again. πŸ˜€πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘πŸ™Œ

Lisa was kind enough to pop out for a visit which reassured both that she was the right fit for us and our animals. She emailed regularly with updates. The house was immaculate on our return. We can totally recommend Lisa and hope she can help us out in the future.

Lisa is a very reliable house sitter who took excellent care of my kitties and chooks with a minimum of fuss, and left the house in a nice clean state for me to return to.

BRITTANY (Somerfield South Island, May 2024 - 2 nights)
Lisa was fantastic! Made the time to come visit before the sit to give me peace of mind and meet my old dog, Miss. I came home to a happy, comfortable dog and a very tidy home! Would highly recommend ☺️

House Security

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
