House Sitting in Nelson

“Amy stayed at our place for 3 nights to look after our dog Poppy. She was on time, took Poppy for lots of walks and regularly sent pics. Amy is trustworthy, friendly and clearly an animal lover. A day later our dog is still going to the spare room to look for her! We will definitely rely on Amy again.”

“Chelsea was fantastic with our dogs. She clearly loves animals and knows how to take good care of multiple dogs with various needs. We came home to happy and well excerised pups. We would definitely hire Chelsea again.”

“Zara was a meticulous and caring house and pet sitter. She managed our sometimes challenging Husky with gracious patience and calm. Our cat bonded quickly with her, the house was spotless when we returned and yard waste all picked up as requested. An absolutely wonderful experience and it made our trip that much better knowing the pets were in such competent hands.”

“We booked MacKenna whilst visiting Nelson for a wedding. She took the dogs out all afternoon/evening and was really flexible when the wedding ran long. Would highly recommend!!”

“Couldn't recommend Brit enough! She has such a way with animals. She looked after my Staffordshire Bull Terrier every Wednesday for over a year, and spent countless weekends looking after her. She and my doggo had such a bond and that's one of Brittany's superpowers. She becomes friends with the animal she cares for. Her calm demeanor is really soothing for the dogs, they are drawn to her, and then they find out how much fun she is too! Couldn't think of a better person to care for an animal.”

“Natasha was awesome! Really great communication, warm and kind. Our pup was comfortable with her instantly and I felt like he was in caring, capable hands. She was also so neat and conscientious at our place. Would definitely recommend her and hope to have her back again!”

“Whitney has spent a lot of time with my dog Freddie. She has joined us on walks, hang outs at the beach and on our property. Freddie is very fond of her, and Whitney is always an amazing help with giving him commands, keeping an eye on him and assisting on walks. She also lived with a housemate who had a dog for a couple of years. She created an incredible bond with her dog, Charlie. She took him on regular walks and helped with training. Whitney is an incredibly caring, reliable and responsible person and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of or walk their pet.”

About: I've had dogs and cats all of my adult life. I have cared for an aging and ailing pets including a 14 year old Siberian Husky and a diabetic cat who lived to be 12. As a senior I have time to spend with pets and love to care for pets with any conditions I'm retired and have time week days and weekends to come to your home to feed and care for your pet. I am willing to stay over at your home if that is required. I have transportation and can drive to you if you live in a rural area. depending on your needs I can come to your home and stay over and as I said above I have a reliable vehicle so I can drive to you if you live in a rural area

“Lily has puppy sat for us and taken our dog on many walks. She is reliable, kind, and our dog, Squid is always so excited to see her for snuggles and treats! Lily is great with sending us photos and keeping us up to date. You can't go wrong booking her to look after your baby!”

“Took great care of my dog and my house.”

“Stacey is amazing. Her communication was timely, clear and positive. Stacey took great care of our house and cat and also let us know how our cat was doing with pictures. We would highly recommend Stacey and will be having her house/pet sit again!”

“Rosa was so patient and kind with Goose. Goose is sometimes nervous of new people and for whatever reason was super nervous when she first met Rosa. Rosa took it all in stride, sent lots of updates and by the end Goose was completely happy and relaxed.”

“Alisha was great, she kept me updated on how my boy was doing, walked Otis daily and she handled everything professionally. The only curtique I would give is for her is to limit updates to once a day, unless it's an emergency because I found it to be a bit distracting I would highly recommend her and will be using her services in the future.”

“Angèle has taken excellent care of my dog over the past three years, from the time when my dog was a rambunctious puppy till the slightly more chilled out version that she is right now. Angèle does a great job of ensuring that my dog gets the adventure she needs, with lots of walks for exercise and using play for mental stimulation. Therefore, she was the number one choice for me when I needed some extra help over the winter and Angèle was able to take care of my chocolate lab for 10 days. My dog hardly wanted to leave after that and she gets extremely excited every time she sees Angèle again. I think they are best friends for life!”

“Briar has sat for my special needs dog on multiple occasions and is an outstanding dog handler! My dog Rosie doesn't do well with sudden/loud noises and needs daily medication to help cope. In times of distress Rosie runs to whoever she seems trustworthy, and Briar is high on that list. I take great comfort in knowing that no matter what, my dog is safe with Briar as she has spent the time bonding with Rosie and gaining her trust.”

“We have had Tully house sit our home and look after our rescue dog, Frankie on a number of occasions. Tully is neat, tidy and always respectful of our house. She is also amazing with Frankie and the other dogs we have had in the past - taking them for lots of walks and making sure they are fed and happy. She is great at sending updates if we are away for a long time which is very reassuring. Could not recommend Tully more - I’m sure Frankie would agree!!”

“Dani is a confident, warm and friendly young lady, who absolutely loves animals. She is honest and reliable and, with a Level 3 Diploma in Canine Behaviour, knows what she is doing. She is not only professional but flexible too and will always do her utmost to ensure your pet is happy and cared for to the highest standards.”
