Gardener, former Airbnb host, pet lover

50, Gardener (full time); lifeguard (casual))

Kia ora!

If you’re looking for a reliable house sitter to care for your home, garden, and pet(s), I’d love to help out!

Here’s a bit about me:

- I’m a self-employed gardener based in Dunedin, always happy to dedicate time and energy to your garden.

- I’m an animal lover who understands the special bond between pets and their owners. I get along well with dogs, cats, and birds of all kinds.

- I hosted on Airbnb in Japan for four years, so maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and order is second nature to me.

- I pride myself on being an excellent communicator, ensuring I respond within an hour in the evening and within three hours when I’m working.

- Giving back to the community is important to me—I work as a lifeguard at the new Mosgiel pool on Saturdays from 3–7pm and enjoy volunteering by planting trees and gardening.

- In my spare time, I love listening to folk music, attending the Dunedin Folk Club, and enjoying tramping and swimming.

Thanks for taking the time to read this! I’d love the chance to meet you and discuss how I can help with house or pet sitting.

All the best,
Glen

Geoff was great and took good care of the house and even did some fall yard work that was needing done over the period he was there. Responsive and keep in contact well during the sit. He was great with the cats and an older dog that needed some additional support. Overall a great experience and I would not hesitate to have Geoff sit again for us!

It was lovely to come home to a warm house after a day's travel. Fire going and a welcome back by a contented puppy! 100% recommend Geoff and will definitely use his housesitting abilities again.
