High end experience and references

67, Retired

Thank you for visiting my profile.
I am a retired teacher and I have been house sitting since 2017 in New Zealand and Australia. I am now traveling in UK and have a British passport I am looking to explore all over.
I specialise in cats as they are my love and passion.
I love the outdoors and exploring new places, but your pets and property will always be my top priority.
I own my own home and a rental property so am used to dealing with property issues.
I have looked after a lot of high end properties and have experience with spas and swimming pools. I am also very comfortable in smaller more humble abodes.
I don't smoke or drink.
As I may not have a car I will need to be able to access your place by public transport.
I look forward to discussing your particular situations

I was very pleased with Rose . My cat is not always very friendly but she took to Rose as soon as she arrived . When I arrived home all was tidy and clean and Pippa relaxed and cheerful . I would certainly recommend Rose .
 
MARGIE (London England, Sep 2024 - 1 week)
Rose is a fantastic sitter, I only wish I could have her every time I go away! Communication was timely, and comprehensive. Rose asked relevant questions to ensure she had all the information needed for the sit. Her experience really shone through. I had some reassuring updates while I was away. The house was immaculate on my return. You couldn't wish for a better sitter. My cats would love to have her back! I couldn't recommend more highly x
 
CAROLINE (Retford England, Sep 2024 - 1 week)
Lovely to have had Rose looking after Mackenzie and the house.
 
FAYE (Edinburgh Scotland, Sep 2024 - 1 week)
Rose was a delightful housesitter. She looked after Bertie my cat so well especially as he hadn't been well prior to her visit. I was not in the slightest bit worried as I knew Rose would look after him well. A lovely lady from NZ who left my house immaculate. I look forward to having Rose stay again in the near future. Thank you Rose
 
CHARMAINE (Teddington England, Sep 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
Rose is absolutely amazing, the best pet and housesitter you could ever wish for. From our very first contact the communication, speed of response and clarity, was spot on. Rose arrived the day before we left, we gave her a quick tour of the house, introduced her to our two cats and all had dinner together - we left early the next morning. Whenever we checked in with Rose she replied immediately and sent us pet photos, she only contacted us once with a very small query the entire time ... MORE
 
ALAN (London England, Aug 2024 - 2 weeks)
Thank you so much Alan, I really enjoyed your house sit and it was my absolute pleasure.
Brilliant sitter, cat completely disinterested in us when we got home so obviously missed us immensely lol. House was immaculate, highly recommend. Thank you Rose 😃
 
SUSAN (Wellsford North Island, May 2024 - 1 week) From Kiwi House Sitters
Words cannot express enough my gratitude to Rose for the care and attention during her house and furbaby sit. I work from home so my cat is used to constant attention and companionship - this is the longest I have left her in the 4 years I have been graced with her being her slave. Rose not only was here for my "kid" (furbaby) but I came home to a super clean house and all plants alive and thriving. All of which was secondary in my book but very appreciated. Rose is a treasure, highly ... MORE
 
ANDREE (Orakei , Feb 2024 - 2 weeks) From Kiwi House Sitters
Thank you so much Andree it was my absolute pleasure. It was such a lovely house sit and I felt very spoilt.
It was wonderful coming home to happy and content pets and a tidy home. I loved having Rose here she is a lovely, kind and genuine lady. I cannot recommend her highly enough and would love for her to pet sit for me again.
 
SANDRA (Algies Bay North Island, Jun 2023 - 1 week 1 day) From Kiwi House Sitters
Thank you so much Sandra, it was my absolute pleasure.
Rose was a brilliant house and cat sitter who went well beyond the call of duty. For the first time ever one our cats was unwell when we were away. Rose organised a visit to the vet, waited around for test results and managed to get the medication into a reluctant Felix over the next few days. We came home to a healthy and well cat. The outcome could have been very different if Rose hadn’t been really on to it and recognised all was not well….. we are very grateful to her. I hope she will come ... MORE

Thank you Sue it was my pleasure and I would absolutely love to come back

HAYLEY (Auckland North Island, Oct 2022 - 5 days) From Kiwi House Sitters
Rose was a fantastic sitter. Fitted in with our plans beautifully. Upon our return the house was immaculate and all linen etc clean. Casper very content and happy. Would love to have Rose sit again in the future. Thanks so much.
 
JANINE (Orewa North Island, Oct 2022 - 1 week 3 days) From Kiwi House Sitters
It was wonderfull to have Rose look after our dogs when we were overseas ,they were very well taken care of and we have booked Rose for another pet sit in October. Thank you so much Rose.
 
LYNETTE (Clark’s Beach North Island, Aug 2022 - 3 weeks) From Kiwi House Sitters
Thank you Lynn I loved it and look forward to coming back.
I was absolutely thrilled when Rose got in touch about my house sit, her reviews speak for themselves. Communication was perfect, the house was exactly as I left it and the pets were so happy. I didn't see her when I arrived home as I landed very late and she had another house sit but she put some lavender in a vase and some milk in the fridge - the best being able to have a cup of tea in the morning. I 100% recommend and I hope I can lure her back next time! Thank you Rose, you have restored ... MORE
 
STEPHANIE (Warkworth North Island, Jul 2022 - 1 week 6 days) From Kiwi House Sitters
Thank you Steph it was a real pleasure.
Rose left the house in the very clean condition she found it. She did a great job looking after our cat Wendell. Communication was very good and she didn't mind us calling her a couple of times to check all was well. She left a lovely note as we missed her when we got back. I would highly recommend her.
 
COLIN (Katikati North Island, Jun 2022 - 1 week) From Kiwi House Sitters
Thank you so much it was an absolute pleasure. Wendell is such a lovely cat.

Thank you rose for taking such good care of our dog. Nothing a problem, communicated well and house was left immaculate. Highly recommend Rose to mind your pet.
 
SOPHIE (Havelock North North Island, Apr 2022 - 5 days) From Kiwi House Sitters
Rose was a great sitter for our two cats. Rose was very organised and reliable. She communicated well. She left our home clean and tidy. We would recommend Rose to all.
 
BELINDA (Whitby North Island, Oct 2021 - 3 days) From Kiwi House Sitters
Rose was a fantastic house and pet sitter. Both of our animals (cat and dog) were very well taken care of and given plenty of love. Our dog Flax was taken for plenty of walks at the beach. When we returned home our house was clean and tidy, just as we left it. Thank you so much Rose!
 
CAT (Awhitu North Island, Aug 2021 - 1 week) From Kiwi House Sitters
Thank you Cat it was an absolute pleasure I loved it.
Nothing quite like coming home to happy and contented cats n dogs. Thank you Rose for making this a positive experience.
 
DEZ & TANIA (Mangere Bridge North Island, Apr 2021 - 1 week 2 days) From Kiwi House Sitters
Rose looked after our home and animals for two weeks. We had no concerns leaving everything in her care. We returned from our holiday to find everything as we had left it.
 
ROBYN (Ramarama , Apr 2021 - 2 weeks) From Kiwi House Sitters
Rose house sat for us for 10 days. Ollie was well looked after and it was lovely to come home to a nice clean, tidy house. Rose gave us updates and communicated with us really well. Thanks for making or holiday care free!
 
LIZ (Red Hill North Island, Jan 2021 - 1 week 3 days) From Kiwi House Sitters
Thank you Liz, I really enjoyed the house sit and Ollie is a real little sweetie.
Rose was everything we hoped for in a house sitter. She looked after our cats, chooks , garden and house for nearly 2 weeks. In fact, our cats are more cuddly and affectionate now after spending two weeks with Rose than they were before we left!!!! Cant recommend her enough.
 
KAREN (Glendowie , Jan 2021 - 2 weeks) From Kiwi House Sitters
Thank you Karen, your cats and chickens were lovely and the fresh eggs and veges were a lovely bonus.
Rose is the perfect house sitter and could not recommend her highly enough. She took great care of my home and animals and I came home to everything shining and cats very happy. Hope Rose can come back some other time.
 
SANDRA (Opotiki North Island, Aug 2020 - 1 week 2 days) From Kiwi House Sitters
Thank you Sandra, I would absolutely love to come back to your lovely home. I am sure there is lots more in the area I would love to explore.
Rose is an amazing housesitter. My fur baby was well looked after and my home was left in immaculately clean. Would recommend Rose to anyone. Kind regards Janet
 
JANET (Hamilton , Jul 2020 - 2 weeks 3 days) From Kiwi House Sitters
Rose was amazing. She had a lot to deal with on our property with unexpected lambing problems chicken house flooding and a sudden water issue. She handled these all easily and we appreciated it so much. We returned home to an immaculate property and very happy animals !!. We would highly recommend her. Thanks so much Rose
 
EMMA (Mangawhai , Jul 2020 - 17 days) From Kiwi House Sitters
Thank you Emma, Jasmine and I had an amazing time on your lovely property.
We returned home to find everything was perfect. We can't speak highly enough of Rose as the perfect house sitter. Fluffy (our cat) was well cared for as was our house. Thank you so much Rose and we hope you had time to explore the beautiful Waitaki area.
 
JENNY (Oamaru South Island, Nov 2019 - 3rd Nov - 1st Dec) From Kiwi House Sitters
We were thrilled to come home from our holiday after leaving Rose in the care of our home. The house was left in a perfect state, the cat was happy and content. We couldn't have asked for more! Thank you so much Rose. I hope you enjoyed our little beach paradise as well.
 
SUE (Bell Block New Plymouth North Island, Jul 2019 - 1 week) From Kiwi House Sitters
Rose was the best housesitter we could have wished for and I can't recommend her enough!! She was beyond fantastic and so incredibly caring for our pet, Cinnamon. Unfortunately our cat got diagnosed with cancer just 2 weeks before our planned family visit overseas and we were unsure how long he would live for (vet said it might be still a year or a matter of weeks). Sadly it went downhill for him all of a sudden and together with the help of a friend, Rose provided the best care possible in ... MORE
 
ANDREA (Pukekohe North Island, Apr 2019 - 4 weeks) From Kiwi House Sitters
Rose was a great house sitter, took good care of all pets and house. She very kindly left us soup for our late return too, much appreciated . We would certainly recommend Rose.
 
PHILIPPA (240B Ulysses Rd North Island, Mar 2019 - 2 weeks 1 day) From Kiwi House Sitters
Thank you Rose for doing a wonderful job of looking after our cat Jimmy and minding our house! We returned to a very clean and tidy house and a very contented cat! We would recommend Rose to others without hesitation.
 
PETER (One Tree Hill North Island, Dec 2018 - 1 week) From Kiwi House Sitters
We really appreciated having Rose who looked after the house and animals wonderfully. Rose is a really nice person, easy to communicate with. We messaged while we were away to check on how everything was going, how the pets were. Rose always was happy to let us know all was well. We would love to have Rose again.
 
KATHY (Mangawhai Heads North Island, Oct 2018 - 3 weeks) From Kiwi House Sitters
No rating Thank you so much Rose for house sitting for us for two months in Ngaruawahia. A huge 10 out of 10 from us. It was so reassuring to know you were looking after our home. It gave us peace of mind. Your granddaughter was a great help as well and loved Penny the cat, and Penny loved her. Thank you so much for caring for our house and Gardens, the gardens and lawn looked lovely for us to come home to, and the house was just spotless inside. Much appreciated and we would love to have you house sit ... MORE
JOHN (Ngaruawahia North Island, Jun 2018 - 1 month 3 weeks) From Kiwi House Sitters
No rating I can't reccomend Rose enough. She house sat for us for 3 weeks looking after our cat and kept us updated through our trip with photos of him and letting us know how he was getting on. We were a bit sad to leave him for so long and the updates made the world Of difference. The house was absolutely immaculate when we got home, and our cat was a very happy boy! Thank you so much Rose!!
INDIE (Welcome Bay, Tauranga , Jun 2018) From Kiwi House Sitters
No rating Rose is a wonderful house sitter. She coped beautifully with our two dogs - one 'geriatric' and the other who is like 'a bull in a china shop' and does every thing at high speed. She knew when to discipline or reward them and how to maintain control. Rose got on well with our neighbour too, who has now booked her for a home sit. We came back to a house that was absolutely spotless. Rose,you are incredible. We can't thank you enough. We would certainly highly recommend you to others ... MORE
BRUCE (Castlecliff , Jan 2018) From Kiwi House Sitters
No rating Rose is a friendly, easy going lady. Very obliging and obviously an animal lover. We felt very reassured on meeting her that our pet and our home would be in good hands. She left the house spotless and our dog was obviously well cared for. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending her Lauris & Peter Roberts
LAURIS (Greenmeadows North Island, Oct 2017 - 1 week 4 days) From Kiwi House Sitters
No rating Rose was a fantastic house sitter. A wonderful communicator - we arranged details for the house-sit easily together. She looked after our home and cat for three weeks. We returned to a beautifully clean house (freshly made beds, folded washing) milk and bread in fridge and a very happy cat. We felt very lucky to have her stay. Thank you Rose so much for all that you did! Nga mihi nunui - our whanau!
AROHA (Petone , Sep 2017) From Kiwi House Sitters
No rating Rose was a fantastic house sitter for us. Rose looked after our house and 9 month old Bull Mastiff for 3 weeks. It was a big decision for us to trust someone with our dog as he is pretty spoilt and well loved. Rose did a fantastic job. She communicated with us when we were away and we came back to an extremely tidy and clean house. Our dog was very happy when we got home and Rose had even found new games to play with him to help keep him entertained. I would not hesitate to ... MORE
