We need a house sitter

Region: Hawke's Bay - Hastings

House Owner: Christina

We live in a lovely family home with 9 chickens and 2 small friendly dogs. Our home has LOTS of house plants that need watering and outdoor gardens that need watering and looking after while we are away. We have a gorgeous
pool (not heated but stays warm with the cover) and beautiful garden. We are looking for a single person or couple to house sit and care for our special place.

*We have a couple air bnb bookings in the time we are away but they will not require any effort other than you greeting guests upon their arrival. Room cleaning and restocking will be done by someone else.

This was a super housesit. Christina and her family are very friendly and kind. We shared a meal and enjoyed the family’s company before they left for their holidays. Thomas and Fred are gentle, characterful dogs who kept us company at home and on walks. The chickens and cockerel were easy care. The home is a very relaxing and special place to be with its gorgeous houseplants, and the large garden was enjoyable to potter around in, accompanied by a robotic lawnmower.
