Richard Ormsby

56, architect

I am a professional, middle aged, single man looking for house sitting opportunities for 2024 and early 2025 in the Christchurch area.

I am a self employed architect, can work flexible hours from my office and can often work from home on my laptop.

I love all pets and enjoy walking. I am responsible, trustworthy and tidy.

Richard was outstanding and we were so happy with his stay. Richard's communication before and during his stay was great. Richard treated our house and our cat like his own - very respectful, clean and tidy. Charlie was very well loved and fed under Richard's care.

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
