Tidy kiwi and animal lover

55, Quality/Health & Safety Manager

Hi, I'm a very clean, tidy, responsible, mature, non-smoking lady. I will not be partaaying in your house!
I enjoy housesits with pets but am also happy if you are looking for someone to be in your house for security, to water plants etc.
Having grown up on a farm I love all animals. I've often been left to manage the family farm, looking after cattle, sheep, working dogs, pig dogs, ducks, a cat or two, and the odd pukeko! I'm very capable and able to deal with most problems that might crop up. I'm also experienced with indoor-only cats.
I'll look after your home and pets as if they were my own - keep the house clean and tidy, bring in mail, and keep in touch by text/email/whatsapp if required. I'm happy to water plants but prefer not to mow lawns or weed gardens (although this can be negotiated for longer sits).
I'm a real homebody and would prefer somewhere quiet where I can chill and work from home (would need unlimited wifi).
I look forward to sitting for you.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jeannie for anyone wanting a kind, caring, 'in-tune', experienced and trustworthy person to look after their home/furry family members. Jeannie was incredible with communicating the daily activities of the wee furry bambinos (keeping the non-furry Mama confident and stress free whilst away). Any request was jumped upon instantly (last minute putting out of the green waste bin) and care instructions for the cats etc was followed perfectly, whilst ensuring that the cats ... MORE

Thanks so much Andrea, for taking the time to write such an amazing review! Much appreciated
Jeanie was great but our property may have been too remote for her. Luckily our neighbours are sociable. She was extra clean but unfortunately didn’t ask me an out getting rid of a the water I had stored for emergencies but I can replace it . It would have been great to have been asked first. Again city people may not be aware of the need for electricity to operate rural properties and we are sometimes without electricity it for days or weeks. She was a great pet sitter so I am most grateful.
 
JUDY (Bay of Islands North Island, Nov 2024 - 3 weeks)
Jeannie took great care our cats and home while we were away and even stayed a little bit longer as we were stuck overseas. This was our first time using a house sitter and Jeannie made the all process a breeze. We came back to a very tidy home with two happy cats. Highly recommended and we will not hesitate a seconde to have Jeannie housesit for us again.

FRANCES (Mahurangi West North Island, Apr 2024 - 3 weeks)
Jeannie was a fantastic housesitter. She did a great job keeping our cat happy. Taking care of the chickens and keeping an eye on the steers and sheep. The vegetable garden and plants were all well looked after. The house was immaculate when we got home. Communication was excellent. We would love to have Jeannie back and would recommend her to others.
 
KERRY (Auckland North Island, Mar 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
Both Roxy and Kiki was very well looked after and it was so nice coming home to a beautifully cleaned house and all the care taken by Jeannie.
 
ESTELLE (Dairy Flat North Island, Mar 2024 - 1 week 4 nights)
Jeannie took great care of my very fussy cat and two chickens, and went beyond what was expected in terms of feeding them. She kept my many indoor and outdoor plants alive at a very dry time of the year, and dealt to mail and parcels. Communication was clear and helpful at all times. It was wonderful to come home to washing on the line and a clean, tidy house.
 
DITI (Leigh North Island, Feb 2024 - 2 weeks 2 nights)
Jeannie was our first experience with a house-sitter unknown to us. She looked after our little dog while we were overseas for 9 days. She sent a couple of photos of our dog looking very relaxed and content. She kept in regular contact and was quick with replies. We had a happy dog greeting us on our return and our house was tidy with even milk in the fridge for a cuppa. Jeannie went beyond of what was expected of her by even cleaning out our stinky green waste bin after it had been emptied and ... MORE

Jeannie was a fabulous house sitter. Excellent communication before and during the house sit. Jeannie took great care of our house and our pets. I highly recommend her as a house sitter.
 
FELICITY (Auckland , Jan 2024 - 2 weeks 4 nights)
My first experience of a housesitter who wasn't family or friend. Jeannie has set the bar high. House and animals were well cared for. I don't think I was missed. I would have no hesitation in asking her back..
 
JANET (Millwater North Island, Nov 2023 - 1 week 1 night)
From our first interview (an hour having coffee, in my home), I knew that Jeannie would be honest and caring! She is a delightful and straight-forward person and she just let my cat absorb the fact of her presence, without fuss. From her communications, while I was away, I knew that the two were getting on well! I'd welcome her again!
 
JOSEPHINE (Albany North Island, Oct 2023 - 2 weeks 6 nights)
Thanks for everything Jeanne, an absolute pleasure!
 
JAKE (Stanmore Bay North Island, Jul 2023 - 3 months)
No rating Jeannie was an excellent sitter. She did everything that was asked of her and more. Our cats looked at us as if to say 'do we want you back we're quite happy with Jeannie"
BEV (Whangarei North Island, May 2016 - 4 weeks)
No rating We are really pleased to have met Jeannie! She has house sat 3 times for us now and hopefully will again. Friendly and down to earth, she has dealt with any minor issues without any hassles. The dogs love her and we feel very comfortable going away and leaving our menagerie in her capable hands. She has turned up on time, responded promptly and always left the house cleaner and tidier than we've left it! Couldn't ask for a better house sitter. Cheers Heather 021 599929
