Very Experienced + Trustworthy New Zealand Empty Nester Mom

About this sitter

Kia Ora, I’m Johanna, a trustworthy and responsible empty nester mom. I am a movement instructor now after an international career. I have several years of house sitting and pet sitting experience in New Zealand and Spain with excellent references. These will be added to the site by the end of October. Your home and pets will be very well cared for and loved as my own. I am fit, active, and long walks with your pup are a pleasure! I love being outdoors, in nature, and am not fussed with cat/dog hair, cleaning the litter box etc. I can also offer light landscaping, garden upkeep, plants, and also like to clean and organise should you want that while you are away….

Why they want to house sit

I am in a transition period while my only child moves into his chosen career. I am using this time to slow travel and work on some personal projects while being near loved ones, that’s why I am focusing on Europe, Ideally in Poland or Spain. Why do I charge for my services? Because I’m very very good at what I do and I am very responsible. Because of the exceptional reputation and service that I provide this is how I make an income while in my transition. I realise many people’s expectation is that housesitting/pet sitting should be done free of charge and that is fine; however, I do charge for my services.

Their experience

Yes, I have several years of house and pet sitting experience in New Zealand and Spain. References will be put on this site by the end of October 2026.
