The Traveling Pom

67, -Retired

Hi my name is Owen I am a fit and active 67 year old retired widowed male travelling around New Zealand in my American caravan. I have travelled extensively throughout the world having spent 25 years in the armed forces (British Army) and also around NZ, I am a non smoker but like a nice glass of wine in the early evening. I take pride in myself and my travel trailer which will reflect on the care taken of your home and property I’ve had various house sits including a kiwi fruit orchard, life style blocks and a sheep farm only looking after the property not the sheep, I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, ducks and chooks also horses, cattle and a few lambs. I’m happy to take and collect you from the airport. I have a police clearance having worked as a school bus driver and also for NZ post and I’m willing to sign a house sitting agreement if so required, there is no charge for my services I can stay in your house if needed or my caravan, all I require is a fairly level spot for my caravan. Access to power and water would be greatly appreciated many thanks Owen. I am fully vaccinated. Happy to talk by phone.

We were very fortunate to find Owen who looked after our place for nearly 4 weeks while we were overseas. He fed our chooks and ducks, moved the electric fence for the cows, kept an eye on the sheep and bottle fed and an unexpected orphan lamb. Owen kept us updated with regularly emails and we felt very confident everything was in good hands. I would be happy to recommend Owen if you were looking for a house sitter and I would have no hesitation in having him back

We found Elaine and Owen to be honest and trustworthy. They took wonderful care of our cat Lulu and our gardens and chickens were also well tended. They communicated with us regularly while we were overseas and were willing to stay on for a few extra days after our flights home were disrupted. They picked us up at the airport and a had a meal ready for us on our arrival home which was much appreciated. We are delighted with the care shown by this great couple and would highly recommend them.
