50+, Clinical Research, Teacher & Endurance Sports
I am seven times Pfizer Covid-19 vaccinated. Plus annually Influenza vaccinated.
I have cat, chicken, rabbit, sheep and house sat all over the North and South Island. For cats that use cat flaps and cats that use litter trays. I have also successfully cat sat for a fussy Persian, nervous rescue cats, cats needing medication & elderly cats. I am an animal lover and a keen trail runner so love to house sit somewhere new so that I get to look after new furry friends and run somewhere new.
I am also used to watering plants, mowing lawns, tending veggie patches, collecting courier parcels and letters. Anything that needs doing while you're away really. I also catch and release or dispose of birds, mice, skinks, or moths etc. that are brought in for me by your cat. I am used to looking after and catching pet rabbits. I have had pet gerbils, budgies, hamsters, gold fish, rabbits and guinea pigs. I am also used to looking after chickens and sheep.
As a qualified preschool teacher and working for clinical research, I am police vetted. House and pet sitting references available on this site.
If I do not reply to your message straight away it is because I am working or running. I will get back to you on my break or at the end of my run as I run with my phone.
Non smoking, non drug taking, non party animal and vegetarian (mainly vegan), but happily serve pet food & meat to your cat.
I currently work remotely and from the office so need access to the internet or I bring my own modem. I am also used to sitting for longer sits from 4-5+ weeks while owners are on holiday overseas or in the northern hemisphere & work I with their time zones. I am also happily post pictures/videos to you to show "proof of life" of your pet.
Penny looked after our cats and chickens. We came back to very happy animals and an amazingly tidy home which was wonderful. Penny was great to communicate with and we would thoroughly recommend her for house sitting in the future. We are getting her back again! Thanks heaps Penny :-D
Penny was an outstanding pet-sitter for us. Excellent communication & care taken with my cats & our home. Thank you Penny, you were fantastic. Would definitely recommend.
A huge thank you to Penny for taking such good care of our home and our wee fur baby Woody 😻 We were abit hesitant at first about a house sitter but after meeting with Penny she completely put our mind at ease. Fantastic communication prior to and during our holiday. If Penny was unsure of anything she sent us a quick WhatsApp message. We were also sent photo updates of Woody which was awesome 👍 We returned home to a spotless house, a very happy kitty and even dinner! Penny left us soup and ... MORE
Penny is awesome. First up great communication, clear, easy, timely and also she had a good sense of humour. I knew from the get go George the cat 🐈 was in good hands.
George was well looked after and there were a few cute photos sent through but not to much to be intrusive.
When we arrived home the house was clean and there was even a few treats left for George.
Sadly our dryer broke just before our trip and it was no stress for Penny at all.
Thanks so much Penny 💚
Penny has been an outstanding house and cat sitter for us while we were away for a month. She sent us cute and funny photos and updates regularly, was super responsive and helpful when we had a couple of things that needed attending to, and she's a great communicator. We arrived back today to a spotless house, an extremely happy cat, and food and treats for us! Just amazing. Thank you Penny and we'd love you to house sit again.
Penny is a perfect choice. Penny was an exceptional house sitter and cat caretaker during our time away. Her dedication to our cat Storm, was truly remarkable. Storm was not only well-fed and cared for but also incredibly content and at ease. We could tell that Storm received plenty of attention and affection while we were away. The house was super tidy, and her communication is great. We have full confidence in Penny's abilities and wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone seeking a responsible ... MORE
This was our first time using a house sitter and after meeting with Penny my partner and I felt comfortable that our cat and house was in good hands. We were away for 10 days and Penny kept us updated throughout the entire time. On our return the house was spotless and cat very happy. Penny was exceptional I would highly recommend her.
Penny was the perfect house sitter. Communication was quick, clear and she gave us updates while we were away. On our return the house was spotless and our cat well looked after. Will happily recommend, and use again.
Penny was absolutely wonderful, she took great care of my two kitties. It was very reassuring knowing they were being well looked after.
Penny was a thoughtful, kind and respectful housesitter. She took absolutely fantastic care of the house, garden and cat. Penny kept us up to date while we were away, and we came home to a spotlessly clean house with all the plants well watered and cared for, and a happy cat. We were especially grateful for Penny's flexibility and understanding when our travel plans changed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Penny as a housesitter. Thanks Penny :)
Penny was an excellent housesitter while we were away. The house was spotless on return, and the cats were super chilled out and happy. She kept some flowers that had been delivered watered and communication was great. I would highly recommend Penny.
Penny was fantastic. We arrived home to an immaculate house and very happy cat. I would love Penny to house sit for us again.
Penny was recommended to us by a mutual friend. She came to meet our kitties and learn about their care prior to our trip and we immediately knew we would be leaving them in great hands. Penny is caring, smart and genuine. She did a beautiful job with our kitties and kept in touch so that we never wondered if they were getting along alright. Our home was left in immaculate condition and the cats were happy and healthy on our return. Thanks so much, Penny!!
Penny house sat for five days and did a very good job. Her communication was very good. She was friendly and keen to know how to care for my cats as they are accustomed to be looked after. I came home to happy cats and a clean and tidy house. I recommend Penny highly as a house sitter.
Penny looked after our house and mature cat Zorro for 3 weeks recently. We came back to a very happy, contented cat and a house that was spotless. She even went to the trouble of getting in fresh supplies for us as we had a late return flight. We will definitely be getting her back when we go away again and would thoroughly recommend her.
Penny took very good care of my cat Oscar. My home was immaculate and even my car was spotless. Penny is quick with her replies and communication/ contact from the start was excellent. I would highly recommend Penny, without a doubt.
Thank you for looking after our house, and cat Mista, while we were overseas. It was comforting to know he was being looked after by someone who obviously loved animals, and it gave us added peace of mind to know that the house was safe as well.
It was great to come home to such a clean and tidy house, and healthy cat!
The neighbours said they hardly noticed that anyone was in the house you were so quiet:-)
All the best for the future, we wouldn't hesitate to have you house sit for us ... MORE
With a house sitter looking after your pets, house and garden - you can really relax. Happy days.
