Your pets, your home, your peace of mind — with a sitter whose consistent 5-star track record spans three years, dozens of sits, and a lifetime of professional animal expertise.
"Leigh looked after our two cats and dog for a whole year while we travelled overseas. We knew straight away when we initially met her that we had hit the jackpot. We could not have asked for a more intelligent, capable, respectful, caring and communicative person. She constantly went over and above what we expected, which made our being away from home and our animals completely stress-free. Anyone would be very lucky to have her look after their house and care for their animals."
I bring something unusual to pet and house sitting: a career built entirely around animals and professional responsibility. My background isn't incidental to what I do — it's the foundation of it.
I've owned homes including a lifestyle property in Hawke's Bay — I understand what it means to hand over your keys. Vegetarian and non-smoker, proficient in raw feeding, with a homeopathic animal care range and a keen eye for health irregularities.
My animal experience spans a lifetime: from tadpoles at age 3 through dogs, cats, horses, sheep, goats, guinea pigs, chickens, pigeons, and wild birds. As an equestrian I'm equally at ease with horses and stock animals.
Longer sits are my preference — I settle into your home, your animals relax into their routines, and you travel with complete peace of mind.
No pets? No problem. A trusted, responsible presence in your home while you're away — keeping everything safe, secure, and well-maintained.
Horses, stock animals, farm animals, chickens — handled with confidence. As an equestrian with lifestyle property experience, farm sits are a natural fit.
Medication schedules, mobility limitations, anxiety, age-related care — managed precisely and patiently, drawing on years of working alongside veterinary professionals.
Regular photos and short videos throughout every day — not an add-on, just how I work. You'll never wonder how your animals are doing.
I own a professional homeopathic range for animals and am proficient in raw feeding. I can work alongside your existing vet or holistic care plan.

Based in Mexico City but will travel anywhere in Mexico for longer sits — Oaxaca, Riviera Maya, San Miguel de Allende, Guadalajara, and beyond.
Leigh understands pet sitting like few others. She has a real connection to animals of all kinds, and our shy cats fell for her very quickly. Leigh has such a caring nature and intuition, with both practical skills and experience to manage problems if they arise.
Leigh did an AMAZING job looking after my darling cat — even buying her a woollen jersey from a charity shop to replace the blanket Mischa had taken over. Left the house spotless. I could not be happier and would have her back in a heartbeat.
Rosie is a very old dog set in her ways and Leigh gently worked with her — Rosie missed her when she left. We were fortunate to have Leigh in our home looking after Rosie and our house.
This is the 3rd time Leigh has done a sit for us — so good with our cat Misha. Everything was clean and tidy on return and she kept us fully informed throughout. We could not recommend her highly enough.
Absolutely fabulous! Leigh was amazing at communicating and keeping us up to date. We were so thankful for her care and attention to detail. A+++++ best house sitter ever!
Leigh looked after Bilbo, our ageing Border Collie, with great care and dedication — Bilbo loves her. She fed our beloved wild birds and looked after the house beautifully. Most highly recommended.
