Denise

I love to explore new & old places and meet new people & animals :-). With KiwiHousesitters there is the added bonus of having the company of pets.

I am sure every pet owner wants to know they can leave their furry bundle of fun with someone reliable, caring and who loves looking after animals.

From a young age I had pet cats, mice, guinea pigs to look after. When I was 12 yrs I took horse riding lessons and helped out with caring for the horses. In New Zealand where I mostly grew up, you are always really close to a farm experience and I have spent time with farm dogs, chickens, hens and helping nurse and rescue weak baby lambs back to health.

Since then I have house sitting friends and families pets over the years. I love travelling and as a home owner also appreciate the need to have your home looked after whilst your are away. Having looked after my own garden and house I am practically minded and used to maintaining small repairs on my own home.

I am confident in my ability to provide great care for your pets and home. Trust me to treat your home with respect in looking after it and ensure your pets receive the care and attention they need whilst you are away.

Here is a reference from a house sit not from this site that I did in Aug/Sep 2023. 2 October 2023

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Reference: Denise Smith House sitting

Denise was our housesitter for 7 weeks and we found her to be very understanding, responsible and reliable during her stay. We left our home clean and tidy and this is how we found it on our return.

We kept in contact while we were away and she informed us of any problems immediately eg a plumbing issue. We could take action promptly. This was helpful to ensure we kept our home well maintained while not in residence.

Denise is a trustworthy and honest person who will take great care of your home. She has a lively and positive personality and appreciated the opportunity to stay in our home. We were able to relax knowing our home was in excellent hands.
Sincerely

2nd Reference not on the site:
To whomever it may concern

I had the pleasure of meeting Denise in October 2023. We have mutual friends so I had heard a lot about her well before this. Denise kindly agreed to house sit for us while we were away on a family holiday. She was careful and considerate with our home and belongings. It gave us peace of mind to know the house was occupied and we came back to a very clean space. I have already told Denise that I will be shoulder tapping her when we head away next! I have no hesitation is recommending her to anyone who requires this service,
