Going on holiday or on a business trip? Hi I'm Marie and have over 20yrs experience looking after peoples homes, pets, plants and children all over the world. I am currently in New Zealand & spend time in Sydney after living there for 21yrs. I will work my stay around your pet requirements from 2weeks to a month. A viedo call can to arranged to meet and discuss your needs in full. If you would like to find out more about me & the services I provide please view my website: www.littlemisshelper.co.nz You will be able to have peace of mind knowing your house/plants and pets are in excellent care while you are away. A little about me: I have a great understanding of people & their pets, and my nature is caring and very reliable. I am very responsible, organised, courteous, sensible and punctual at all times, and have lots of energy and a bright personality, whilst being sensitive to the requirements of other people and what is important to them and their furry family members. Here is a couple of testimonials from petsitting and childcare: JAEN (Spreydon South Island, Dec 2024 - 1 month 1 week) Best house sitter ever! Great communication, the house was spotless upon my return, the cats were really well taken care of and I received daily updates and photos from her. I highly recommend Marie and will use her services again! KODY (Saint Martins South Island, Jun 2025 - 5 nights) Marie was absolutely wonderful! Great communication and very flexible. Two very happy and relaxed cats after her sit and a house left looking perfect. Thank you so much Marie we would love to have you back 😊 GINNY (Beckenham South Island, Mar 2025 - 2 weeks 6 nights) Marie was wonderful with Max always getting down to his level and quietly calming him. While away she gave me almost daily updates and photos. Marie also contacted me quickly regarding an issue with Max's eye which allowed him to be treated immediately. Marie also kept my house clean and tidy. GINNY (Beckenham South Island, Feb 2025 - 3 nights) Marie was wonderful. She clearly was able to build a great relationship with Max even though the sit was for a short time. She communicated regularly and sent accompanying photos. He looked amazing too, brushed to look beautiful for his walks. Marie was also very tidy and the house was probably tidier I han when I left. I have no problem recommending Marie and am pleased that she is available to sit again with Max in a few weeks time. KEIREN (Somerfield South Island, Dec 2024 - 4 weeks) Fantastic house sitter. I got pictures of our pet frequently. Great communication. Highly recommend Maria! KAREN (Somerfield South Island, Jun 2024 - 3 nights) Marie did an awesome job of caring for our 3 miniature schnauzers and one cat. The dogs were walked, she managed the medication for one of our dogs and temporarily patched up the fence when a board came loose. Marie kept us informed with texts and photo updates. We look forward to her sitting for us again in the future. Thanks Marie. "I have known Marie for over a year and have no hesitation in recommending her. I left her in sole control of my two young girls for a week when my husband and I went to the States. I had never left them before and I had no doubt they were in safe hands and Marie proved that. Not only did I have two happy girls on return but our house looked immaculate." Camilla Vaughan, Balmoral, Sydney Sandy Crawford, Cremorne, Sydney. I have known Marie for 6 years and over that time she has become a part of our family. She has taken great care of my two boys and more recently she has looked after our puppy and home while we were away on holiday. I could not think of a more warm hearted and generous lady who I am very happy to recommend to anyone.

What does your pet's daily routine look like? How does your pet get along with other animals? Does your pet have any allergies or health issues? What does your pet like and dislike? How is your pet with strangers and children?
