Mangawhai Heads Auckland - North

We are looking for someone to look after our Black Lab Toby (4 yrs) whilst away in Europe. Toby needs to have someone around during the day and has two walks per day (early morning and afternoon) about 1 hour each time. He is not used to being left for more than a couple of hours and we want a house sitter who will be around with him or will take him on your travels in the car. Toby is good on the lead (not off lead unless on the beach) but is very interested in other dogs and will lie down if he sees one coming. Very chilled at home and affectionate, will do just about anything for food, sleeps very well at night and completely toilet trained. There is a nice beach 10 mins walk from the house or a bush walk 20 mins away (or 2 mins in the car). If you could look after the house too!, Mangawhai heads is 90 mins North of Auckland , lots of cafes, restaurants and even a New World. House is 9 year old, wifi, heat pump, double glazed, garden fully fenced, quiet street with nice neighbours.
