Your home looked after, and your pets happy!

61, PhD student and Tutor

Recently I looked after house and pets for a private 2 week housesit. I enjoyed taking the lovely Lola (minutes collie/cross out for walks along the Waikanae river, and feeding chooks and cats (they were outside cats) she is happy to provide a reference.

I'm a very domestic person, love to bake, and preserve fruit. I've won prizes at a show with my cakes, jams and preserves. Have kept chickens and milking goats. Since childhood I've been a cat person (I hesitate to call myself a cat 'owner', don't cats own us?), but in 2022 I lived with a lovely old dog and enjoyed giving him the shoulder scratches that his poor stiff rear legs couldn't manage. There is nothing quite like having a dog that you have only know a month or so coming up to you wagging his tail, expecting (and getting) a good scratch.

I've owned my own home and know how I'd like someone else to look after it. That's what I want to do for your house so that you can have a lovely holiday knowing that you will return to a house that has been looked after carefully, and to happy, healthy pets.

Great sitter. Kate made everything seem a breeze and perfectly manageable when we were preparing for her sit. She is very capable and oozes confidence which was appreciated. Our two dogs are not the easiest to manage (age and behavioural differences) but Kate managed perfectly. She kept in touch while we were away which allowed us to relax even more!

Aw thank Karen, it was my pleasure!
Kate was easy to communicate with and made arranging the house sit easy. She left our house clean and tidy, and looked after our cat perfectly. Jojo (the cat) was a happy girl when we returned! I would happily have Kate back to house sit any time.

Kate looked after our dog Soufflé for 1 month whole we were on holiday in London. We cannot praise her enough. She posted daily videos of her walking our dog and Souffle was having great fun with her which put our minds at complete ease. The house was spotless when we got home and Kate even bought groceries for us. She is a great woman and anyone would be very lucky to have her house and animal sit. Thank you Kate x

Aw thanks. Missing Souf souf so much, you are the best and she is the sweetest xxx
Kate house sat for us over a long weekend. She cared for our cat, who needs twice daily tablets. She looked after the house and left it clean and tidy. Her communication was outstanding. We’d have no hesitation booking Kate again.

House Security

Safe house!

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