Lover of furry friends & garden veggies

More information about this house sitter

Hello lovely humans :) I am a retired International Flight Attendant turned Nutritionist & Yoga Teacher. Health conscious, non drinker, non smoker, aged 41, and now a lucky solo mother to 1 little boy.

I am a creative, warm and friendly woman who enjoys a good book in a sunny spot, sipping tea and soaking in the beauty of nature. I like to spend my days practicing yoga, pottering in the garden, turning herbs into teas and watching my boy grow.

I have spent months both in the past and recently minding (and loving) my parents 11 year old Groodle, Ruby. We enjoyed daily walks, ball games, lots of cuddles and relax time in the home. I have an ability to make animals feel comfortable, and at ease.

My boy, Ziggy, has been raised in the Byron shire and loves to spend time outdoors, learning and creating. We enjoy beach/sand play together, exploring different flowers and plant varieties and building tall towers, with whatever we can find! He's about to turn 2.

I am fairly new to House Sitting, and have completed x4 so far, minding dogs, cats, chooks & ducks, yet have also stayed in many Airbnbs, around the world, and all have reviewed me very highly. My attention to detail, reliability, cleanliness and true care for others items/homes is apparent in these reviews and I have even made some lovely friends out of the hosts.

We are searching for a home to be closer to family, to spend time with my ageing parents, located in St Leonards - VIC. While we look for our perfect rental, I felt the call to re-ignite my house sitting account and spend some time looking after furry friends.

**Ready for sits from Mid MAY 2026**

I have included a couple of reviews, below. Happy to confirm these with a reference if/where required.

We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our home and most importantly our fur baby. Our house was cleaner and tidier than before we left and our dog was so well loved and cared for. She had so much fun on walks and outings and we loved the photo updates. We were gone for 3 months and we would love to have Nyssa sit for us again.

Nyssa was amazing. She cared for our cat and dog so well and I was so comfortable leaving my older dog, Jack, in her hands as he can be a handful with seizures.
We were gone for 4 months, as we got stuck interstate with work, but Nyssa was so flexible and helped us out. The house was left better than it was when I had left and I would not hesitate to have her house/pet sit again. Read more...
