What's another name for a cat's house?

33, Student and HR Advisor

Hello Housesitter families,

Are you looking for someone reliable, respectful and honest to care for your home and pets while you go on an adventure?
Look no further, you've found the one!

I do book up quite quickly based on referrals and regular clients, so I suggest booking fast if you are interested.

I am seeking 1 week or longer housesits within the greater Tauranga region ONLY.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME:

My name is Adele and I grew up in the Rotorua region but have spent most of my adult life living overseas, largely in Canada. I love adventure and spending time outdoors. I also enjoy being curled up watching Netflix or reading a good book.

I love animals and have been around them all my life. I rode horses in my younger years and as a family we had cats and fish growing up. I have experience with: Dogs, cats, horses, fish, ducks, and chickens specifically. However, open to caring for any pets/animals.

Please ask if you have specific requirements for your pets such as medication, dogs being let out during the day etc.

I also enjoy getting outside when I have the time and going for bike rides in the redwoods or hiking new trails while enjoying the company of my friends.

I previously worked as a nanny and newborn care specialist, so I can assure you that I am reliable, trustworthy, and no stranger to being in a new home. I respect the privacy within your home and I also treat your animals and home with love and respect as if they were my own.

Open communication and honesty are important to me when sitting for you. We don't have to keep in touch every day, but I am happy to check in with you, so you know your animals are happy and safe. Let me know what level of communication works for you.
Occasionally accidents happen, as is the nature with pets and a home. I act responsibly and ensure you are informed along the way - through communication and honesty.
I have a great sense of humour and find the positive or humour in any of these situations.

I prefer to meet or have a phone call pretty quickly after the initial message (if suitable to both parties) to get the dates locked in, that way you can relax knowing it's all sorted and due to the high number of requests it prevents any potential of double booking and waiting around.

I welcome any and all questions and sit requests.

I look forward to sitting for you and spending time with your pets.

Adele

Adele was truly amazing, very caring, kind and her communication was brilliant. She looked after all of our animals exceptionally well and our home was also in great care. I will definitely be having Adele help us again in the future. Lovely, lovely person.

Adele acted like a professional from the start; excellent communication, and clear re her needs during the stay. The doggie was very happy, which is important! Special thanks to Adele for leaving the house so clean; we are considering another trip away just because of that! Would highly recommend Adele.

Adele was a fantastic sitter. Our dogs were happy and engaged with her right away. Great communication. Her confident and relaxed approach made us feel immediately like everything would be well taken care of. Thanks Adele we will definitely be happy to have you stay again.

No rating Adele has been a delight to have as a housesitter. Our dog Coco has been very happy. Communication is great and the property is left as it was found. A wonderful person to have as a housesitter.

Adele, was super when it came to caring for our aged horses! We felt they were in capable hands and would happily have her back again.
 
LOUISE (Tauranga , Feb 2021 - 3 weeks)
I spoke with Louise about this review in regards to the house and pet care, to clear up any confusion. I left their Studio clean and tidy, I vacuumed, wiped everything down, washed the sheets and towels and cleaned up the bugs that were littered in the studio from their bug bomb the day prior to ...
