Your friends best friend

55, Board Secretariat

I am a mature professional housesitter who has owned homes previously and is therefore aware of the related responsibilities; and has applied this expertise when maintaining many owners' beautiful homes in a housesitting capacity. I have been operating as a full time housesitter for the past few years, having managed numerous housesits chiefly on a long term basis. My previous and current clients are professionals who travel overseas to various parts of the world often on a regular basis either for leisure or family. I have most recently been based in the Woburn, Eastbourne and Seatoun. On one occasion in Eastbourne, I managed a clients' property sale viewing arrangements for 3 months whilst they were out of town. This should provide you with an assurance of not only my personal level of professionalism but also the conscientious and professional approach I adopt when looking after, and occupying, your home. Unlike most housesitters who operate on a professional full time basis, I do not currently charge a fee. In terms of pet care, which I view as equally 100% important, having owned elderly pets; I am familiar with the management of elderly pet ailments. I am very good with animals; very patient, gentle and extremely attentive. I have cared for most cat breeds; rescue cats who have had to adjust to a domestic environment; including a blind rescue cat. Have cared for numerous dog breeds including; german shepherd, border collies, boxers, labradors, golden retrievers, shetland terriers and many other cross and smaller pedigree dog breeds. In summary, I have made many "good friends' during pet/housesitting and ironically I virtually remember all of their names! I am a Wellingtonian and therefore able to meet owners prior to confirmation of house sit. I am currently receiving approaches from clients, both current and prospective, regarding their forthcoming overseas travel and related housesitting requirements. Therefore if you are planning that overseas trip, vacation or otherwise, feel free to contact me.

Raelyn was a fantastic house sitter.She was proactive when our cat required vet attention, the house was left as she found it (if not better).I will certainley ask her again if we go away for a prolonged period.
 
MAUREEN (Seatoun North Island, Jul 2019 - 5weeks)
Raelyn was wonderful with our two older cats, giving them a lot of love and attention. She also left the house lovely and clean for us to come home to which was great! It was obvious from the first visit when she came to meet the cats before the sit began that she loved animals. One of our cats is usaully shy with new people but he warmed to her straight away which was amazing. Would definitely recommend her :)
 
ANGELA (Newtown North Island, Sep 2024 - 1 week 5 nights)
Raelyn looked after our home and our cat Philip for a month while we were overseas! We came home to a very happy cat and a tidy home! It was great to not have to worry about Philip while we were away knowing he was in Raelyn’s capable hands. We would definitely have Raelyn back again.
 
SYDNEY (Paekakariki North Island, Aug 2024 - 4 weeks)
Raelyn did a great job of looking after our house and Penny while we were away. Very clear and thorough communication pre sit which reassured us that our house & penny would be in good hands. Would recommend
 
ANNA (Pinehaven/Upper Hutt North Island, Apr 2024 - 6 nights)
Raelyn did a great job looking after our house and cat for 3 months. She met with us first and was very attentive to what was needed. She was flexible with changing requirements and communicated well. Our elderly, shy cat thrived under her care and our house was well looked after.
 
ANNE (Eastbourne North Island, Dec 2023 - 2 months 3 weeks)
Raelyn was a fantastic pet sitter. Our little slightly special needs dog became very attached and didn't want Raelyn to leave! We felt completely confident during the week we were away. :-D
 
JANE (Ngaio North Island, Feb 2023 - 1 week)
Raelyn was a joy to have as a house sitter. We were very grateful for the attention that she gave to our cat, and she kept the house beautifully. I highly recommend her.
 
CORNELIA (Woburn North Island, Dec 2020 - 3 weeks)
Raelyn is a unique treasure and came to our aid at a moments notice and looked after our home and Molly our cat for a long weekend. She took excellent care of both and we are delighted that we found her, highly recommended.
 
STEPH (Petone North Island, Jan 2020 - 4 days)
This is the second time Raelyn has looked after our home and cat. She did a great job with making sure my plants survived, and our cat was happy, healthy and relaxed when we returned. The house was spotless. I will certainly be asking Raelyn to house and cat sit again.
 
MARY (Normandale North Island, Oct 2019 - 2 weeks)
We had a very easy house sitter, met Raelyn a couple of days before hand and immediately felt at ease. Very happy
 
CRAIG (Brown Owl , Nov 2018)
I would highly recommend Raelyn our house/pet sitter. Excellent communication from the start and during the time we were away. After our week away we returned home to find one very happy spoilt dog and a very clean and tidy house. Thanks Raelyn!

Green garden!

Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
