We need a house sitter

Wellington

Job not available any longer.

We are in need of someone to look after our elderly dog Stella and our 2 young cats Jasper and Juno, while we are away at the last minute over Labour weekend Friday night 25th October to Monday 28th October. Stella needs walking twice a day but she is 14 yrs old now and so the walks don't have to be too vigorous and are easy to manage from our house. However she is also happy to jump ( lifted tbh) into the back of a car and be taken to the beach or bush for a walk. We do prefer that she has company for a reasonable part of the day although it is fine to leave the house for several hours.
The cats have just turned 2 and are pretty low maintenance. They just need feeding twice daily and have each other for company.
Stella requires a daily tablet that gets put in her food that is to help incontinence. This is occasionally an issue but is well controlled currently.
Our house is spacious and sunny, with central heating, has an outdoor fireplace and we have a large garden. It is also very quiet and has a very private outlook over the western hills.

Thanks for letting me know of your interest.

No rating You have got to go there! Anna, Hamish and their lovely daughters were very welcoming, they made us feel right at home from the very beginning. They even made us a Christmas tree! They have two lovely pets. Stella, the dog, is such a cute and hug friendly big dog. And Didi, the cat, is much more wild but she doesn't mind a scratch to the back if you let her come to you. Plus their house is gorgeous, with everything you can think of. A great sit by any standard.

So lovely to cuddle their sweet cats in a window seat while watching the birds in their lovely back yard! And Stella was adorable, quite a character. A wonderful stay.
 
BETHANY (Jun 2024 - 3 nights)
We enjoyed spending a lovely weekend looking after Anna’s dog and cats in their comfortable home. The owner Anna was kind and we were left with clear instructions. A lovely and relaxing house sit that we would definitely recommend.
 
ALBERT & JASON (May 2024 - 2 nights)
Was a nice house sit! The pets were easy to take care for and Anna and her family were very welcoming!

All went well, after a thorough briefing. The clear instructions made caring for the animals simple. It was nice to stay in the beautiful house and enjoy the lovely garden. Thanks.

Amazing long weekend house sitting for Anna and Hamish! Stella the dog was a sweet and chilled out girl to look after and the cats Juno and Jasper were great company. Anna's place was comfortable and warm, and has an amazing outlook and garden. We loved sitting outside watching the birds (and Juno and Jasper tearing around). Anna was easy going and gave us all the information we needed in person and in a booklet which made us comfortable looking after their home and pets. Thanks again!
 
DENVER (Oct 2023 - 3 nights)
Loved looking after Stella who is very laid back, and the kittens who are a perfect amount of playful and very cute. It was also lovely to have a fire to put on in the evenings to keep us warm in winter! Anna was great at communicating and very friendly, so would highly recommend for anyone to pet sit for Anna and co.
 
LUKE (Aug 2023 - 2 nights)
We had the pleasure of petsitting for Anna and Hamish for 3 weeks. Their pets were an absolute joy to look after along with being able to stay in their beautiful home. Communication was on point and they left clear and concise instructions for every eventuality. We would recommend them in a heartbeat!
 
ELLIOT & CIARA (Jun 2023 - 3 weeks)
Meeting people like Anna and Hamish is why I love housesitting so much. Anna's communication was excellent. There was a handy little book to reference in their absense (for all instructions given). Their home is beautiful and I put N/A for "Gardens" (simply because I wasn't asked to do anything with them) - but oh my! How beautiful their gardens are. The backyard is like a magical wonderland. The pets were such great company - Stella is calm and easy going and getting to the age where she lets ... MORE

Anna and Hamish were extremely welcoming and easy-going. Their dog, Stella, is a gentle dog who was no trouble at all and the house is in a beautiful area with awesome views. We'd recommend anyone lucky enough to be offered to housesit here to accept!
 
SEBASTIAN (Oct 2022 - 5 days)
We really enjoyed our time sitting for Anna and Hamish and their delightful dog, Stella. Stella was very affectionate and easy to care for. Anna was really helpful - she went over her dog's care with us in person, left clear instructions and made sure we had everything we needed. Communication throughout the whole process was excellent. Anna and Hamish's lovely house is really comfortable and warm. It has a beautiful outlook and there are lots of lovely places to walk with Stella. We would ... MORE

Great friendly host + beautiful house + adorable cat + well behaved dog = 10/10 house sitting experience!
 
GLORIA (Jan 2022 - 2 day)
I quite enjoyed being a house sitter there;) I took Stella a walk in the morning&evening, fed her and Didi twice a day, petting them, sleeping with Didi;) They were absolutely cute and friendly. I'd like to come back again! Thanks for having me, Anna!
 
KYOKO (Jul 2021 - 1 week 1 day)
We house sat Stella (dog) & Didi (cat) for 8 days. Anna and her partner were very welcoming and provided great communication prior and during the entire house sit. They have an amazing, comfortable home and provide clear, easy instructions to follow. Stella is a beautiful pup who is very loving and so well behaved on walks. Didi is a very curious cat who loves attention and cuddles. We really enjoyed being able to look after both. The home was in a good location which is easily accessible by ... MORE
 
STEPH & JORDAN (Jul 2020 - 1 week 1 day)
We had a wonderful time looking after Stella and Didi in Wellington. They are super cute and friendly animals and so easy to look after. Anna and Hamish have a beautiful home in a gorgeous location and we were very comfortable there. Communication was a breeze and they were so kind, we would definitely sit for them again!
 
CLAIRE (Jan 2020 - 1 week 6 days)
It was a pleasure to look after of the lovely Didi. She was the perfect company for us, she is super friendly and quiet and really easy care. Anna and Hamish were very kind with us, they are a lovely couple and the communication was super easy. Their house is beautiful with a stunning view plenty of trees and flowers. Highly recommended! Thanks guys for trusting us!
 
BELEM (Dec 2019 - 5 days)
Adorable pets, beautiful cozy house in a lovely leafy neighbourhood. Lots of nice nature walks with stunning views to share with Stella. Very hospitable family and well organised communication. Highly recommended!
 
ALICE (Sep 2019 - 4 days)
Anna left clear instructions & it was a joy to look after their gorgeous home, Stella the dog & Didi the cat. Very quiet which was ideal for my study. Stella is an older dog, very well behaved, gentle & happy. Friendly neighbours too.
 
JACKIE (Jul 2019 - 1 week)
No rating House sitting in Anna's house was incredible. We felt like home. Anna and her family explained us everything in detail and even shared us some delicious hot cross buns. What to say about Stella and Didi? We already missed them !! So lovely pets :) we felt in love with them in just a few minutes. Such a good thing to meet this awesome family in our last days in NZ. Our first experiencie in house sitting could not have been better. Thanks a lot guys ! And keep in touch :)
