About Patricia
I am an honest, friendly and reliable 63 year old woman from New Zealand. I'm a non-smoker and a non-drinker. I've done lots of traveling over the last 10 years and am looking forward to doing more.

I am an honest, friendly and reliable 63 year old woman from New Zealand. I'm a non-smoker and a non-drinker. I've done lots of traveling over the last 10 years and am looking forward to doing more. I love to keep fit and will walk for miles every day. I love nature, and am a bit of an amateur twitter (I think that's what you call birdwatchers these days, lol). I have been an avid gardener for the last 30 years, and although I don't have my own garden at the moment I still love walking through botanic gardens and stately home gardens. I've been an aerobics instructor for a
wide range of age groups over the last 17 years, and have really enjoyed the friendships and camaraderie that has brought. I've been really inspired by the older ladies doing aerobics in their 70s and 80s, and hope I can keep as fit and active as them.
Why I want to house sit
My daughter lives overseas, so I've traveled a lot over the last 10 years visiting her and meeting up various places. House sitting would allow me to spend more time in each area and really get to know it, which I love to do and prefer it to rushing around to different areas. For 32 years I cared for my disabled mother, and now that she has passed away and my two daughters are grown and on their own life paths, it's time to take some time for me and explore the world.
My experience
I designed and project managed the building of our last three family homes, and then maintained them all to an exceptional standard for the last 40 years. I have now sold my last house and am living with my daughter, and keeping her house to an exceptional standard. I also have rental properties that I personally vet applicants for and inspect on a regular basis.

We have known Gaye Morrison for the past 24 years. Gaye is thoroughly trustworthy, reliable, hardworking and extremely conscientious. As well as being caring and thoughtful, Gaye is also intelligent, competent, methodical and organized. She can be relied upon to be sensible and practical in any circumstances.
Gaye has always fastidiously cared for her home, garden and rental properties. Her home is impeccably clean. She has worked in an auction house and loves and cares for anything old. She has a special interest in and respect for antiques.
We would have no hesitation in recommending that Gaye house-sit. We know that the house would be in very good hands and that Gaye would go the extra distance to care for the house and the wider property. She is very conscious about safety and would ensure that everything was locked and secure at all times. She is the very person we would want looking after our house if we were needing a house-sitter.- Organised
