The sitter you're looking for

Kia ora, I’m Aunty Kaz – at least that’s what the pets I care for like to call me.

I’m a full-time remote worker and house & pet sitter, which means I’m around for most of the day. I spread my working hours throughout the day, taking frequent breaks, so apart from the odd grocery run or short outing, I’ll be home keeping your furry (or feathered!) family company - with plenty of time for cuddles.

Keeping tails wagging and whiskers happy while you’re away

I absolutely love getting to know new pets – mostly dogs and cats, but I’ve also cared for parrots, horses, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even the occasional rat. Every animal becomes "mine" while I’m with them, and I treat each one with the same love and attention I’d give my own.

For dogs, I’m happy to arrive the night before you leave, if convenient. It makes the transition easier when they’re left with a familiar face, rather than a brand-new stranger at the door. I’m happy to do the same for cats too – though let’s be honest, most felines just want to make sure I know where the food is kept (hee hee).

Your pets, my priority. Your home, my care

When it comes to your home, I’ll care for it as if it were my own – tidy, respected, and well looked after. I’m more of a cosy-night-in type than a party-goer, and I’m a non-smoker, so you can count on a calm and dependable presence while you’re away.

If you’d like to "meet" me before making a decision, I’d be delighted to set up a Zoom chat so you can get a feel for who I am and ask any questions.

Because every pet deserves an Aunty Kaz!

Kaz is a great house-sitter and we believe you won't find anyone as conscientious, reliable and trustworthy. Our cat Muffin is fussy but she and Kaz quickly established a nice rapport. Kaz helped us cover all things that sitters need to know by giving us a check-list she has compiled through her long experience with house-sitting in many parts of NZ and Australia. So, thanks very much Kaz. Hope other people and animals have the pleasure of meeting you as we did.

This was the second time Kaz looked after our house, dog, cat, chickens and ducks and once again we were very happy with the arrangement. Kaz stayed in our house for 5 weeks over Christmas and New Year and coped with immense amounts of rain which flooded the chicken coop on two occasions, so she did not have an easy time. However, she took it all in her stride, communicated with us throughout and all was well. We have already re-booked Kaz for the same time next year!

Kaz was a lovely house sitter. Lots of personality, tidy, dedicated and kind. My cats seemed calm and happy upon my arrival. My group contracted covid towards the end of our trip and it was such a relief to come home to a clean and well cared for home. Thank you Karolyn!!! We were lucky to have you.
