Hi,
We decided 5 years ago to live on the road and travel our beautiful country. After 9 months travelling we ended up in Northland and have for the last 4 years managed DOC camps.
Now its time to hit the road again. Home for us is Otaki Beach where we have a house and ½ an acre section. In our previous life we had two border collies, chickens and very productive vegetable gardens and fruit trees.
Chris is a carpenter by trade while Jo has always worked in office, clerical, managerial roles.
We both love fishing and gardening.
We would love to be able to look after your pets, house and maybe even your small business while you have a holiday.
All though new to this site we have previous house, pet and small business experience and would be happy to supply referees.
Non smokers.
No pets.

We have police clearance from working with DOC which is valid until December 2026.

Look forward to hearing from you.

We returned to a lovely clean home, well maintained lawns and most importantly, happy and contented animals. As we travel most years we have already made tentative arrangements for next year. We ...
