Jimmy and Me

About

My name is Serena, My Jack Russell Jimmy and I enjoy house/pet sitting while we travel and explore NZ.

My first training was as a paediatric nurse, then I became a farmer with my husband on a 15-acre block, we upsized to a full sheep farm a few years later. We had all sorts of animals, dogs, cats, sheep, a house cow, chickens, fish and guinea pigs. I’ve worked in a vet clinic, a 24-hour surgery, been a receptionist and a gardener and now I’m retired.

I have travelled extensively house and pet sitting in the UK, Italy, Australia and NZ. I have experience in house-sitting houses as well as lifestyle blocks. My passions are gardening, visiting open gardens, swimming, paddle boarding, cooking, reading, DIY and travelling.

Your pets and house will be cared for as if they were my own. As I said I love gardening so I’m hoping to get some sits where I can tend a vegetable garden and potter about in the garden.

I would particularly like some sits in the far North as I haven’t explored that area yet and I’m keen to do so.

If you are interested in booking me I can supply references and phone numbers to contact past sits.

I look forward to hearing from you.
