Update - now available from 2 Feb - 8 March and 23 - 29 March 2025.
My husband and I are visiting New Zealand from 14 Jan to 9 April 2025 and we’d love the chance to look after pets and houses while we’re there.
Our son has lived in Auckland for the last 6 years and also I have other relatives in the country so I have been there several times. My husband has been there three times in the last few years and loves it as much as I do.
We have done house and pet sits during our last trip to New Zealand in early 2024 and would like the chance to do so again in 2025.
We would much prefer to ‘live’ in the country rather than ‘staying’ in a soulless hotel so we can be part of a community.
I was brought up on a farm and continue to spend most of my time there. We own a family run livery yard and both my husband and I are very comfortable around horses. Also there is the usual assortment of dogs and cats that come with a yard, and we used to have chickens, pigs and cattle, so no animal big or small, is a problem to us!
I love walking and doing so with a dog is far more rewarding. Also my husband could be very useful as he loves gardening, so you’ll find your garden to be as tidy as your house on your return!
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope we can be of help to each other.
