We are in our early sixties, dual NZ/UK nationals on a two year tour of New Zealand (Nov 23 - Nov 25). We have an 8 metre Motorhome which we would need to park up. We are dog lovers and have many years of experience of looking after friend's dogs whilst they are on holiday. We enjoy walking, cycling, reading, cooking and fishing. As part of the “Partner of a New Zealander visitor visa” application process we both had to go through Police criminal record checks as well as character references, a thorough medical for Nigel and proof of sufficient funds to satisfy the NZ government!

Happy to provide references. Non smokers. We have completed two house sits since we have been here, 3 weeks in the Coromandel during July and 2 weeks in Central Otago over Christmas and New Year.
