We need a house sitter

Caroline

Hi.
Would you like to come and house sit for me?
I am away for 2 weeks and need someone to look after the house and furry ones. Molly is a 11 year old sweet natured golden retriever who just needs love. She is not good with being left alone for more than about 3 hours but loves coming anywhere with you. And Purr-c is a smoochy cat who can't stop eating!
It's a warm house but with air con if needed, with a totally stunning view of the coastline and a lovely deck with spa pool..You can walk up the hill or down to the beach from the door. Golden sandy beaches and a marina are just a few minutes away if you fancy a night out.
You will have a beautiful bedroom with new ensuite overlooking the ocean and the kitchen and living room are free for your use.
There is a veggie garden to water ( and help yourself) and a few outside pots. Depending on weather, you may need to water a few other plants outside too. There’s a robot lawnmower.
Bills are included - free unlimited wifi.
The house is a non smoking house.
Please note that some of my references are from my previous house - I moved to the coast 4 years ago.

Wow! This was a stunning housesit. Possibly our favourite ever! The views were breathtaking. The home is comfortable, warm and such a nice space to hang out in. Tutukaka is a very special place that we enjoyed exploring. Molly (the dog) is a real sweetheart. She’s super friendly, gentle and sweet. She’s a wonderful companion, loving nothing more than being next to you, wherever you are, whatever you are doing. She loved going out in the car and chasing a ball is her idea of heaven! Purr-C ...

Caroline was excellent at providing clear directions, care for pets and the house. The home is in a stunning location with breathtaking views of the Tutukaka coastline. We had a wonderful stay. Really appreciate the opportunity. Many thanks.
 
KATHY & CLIFF (Nov 2024 - 2 nights)
Caroline was delightful to deal with, Her home was in the middle of renovations so very difficult to give a star rating. The views across the ocean were amazing. Molly (the dog) was adorable and so obedient. Purr-C the cat was lovely too.
 
BARBARA & TERRY (Sep 2024 - 2 weeks)
This was a lovely sit, Caroline was easy to communicate with, welcoming, thoughtful and accommodating. The views from the house of the coastline were spectacular in every direction and watching the daily weather roll through was enough for an enjoyable visit. The real joy was spending our days with Molly who is a sweet soul, playful, well-trained and loving. PurrC was easy and cruised by for meal time and to stretch out close by for a bit. We found plenty to do in the area, with a black sand ... MORE
 
DERRICK & THERESA (Aug 2024 - 1 week 4 nights)
An extremely pleasant house, dog and cat sit. Caroline is enjoyable, and considerate. Molly the dog is sweet, amusing and well trained. Purr-ce the cat is – well – “interesting”. All this in a sunny comfortable house with wonderful sea views up the Tutukaka coast and with Richard nearby to lend assistance if needed. Thanks Caroline. It was a pleasure.

Our house sit for Caroline was great lovely house and amazing views Molly was a lovely natured dog but mischievous at times and Purr-C the cat was cool very loving when he was around especially night time
 
BEVERLEY & COLIN RIDINGS (May 2024 - 3 weeks)
Absolutely wonderful sit which we would love to repeat. Molly was such a delight, so well disciplined and so lovable. Were so pleased to have an evening to get to know Caroline and am sure we will have further contact. Would not hesitate to sit for Caroline again, totally recommend this sit opportunity, but only after we're not able to do so!
 
PAM & IAN (Apr 2024 - 1 week 5 nights)
It was a real pleasure to spend a few days in this paradise home taking care of Molly and Purr-c. Molly is a super adorable, beautiful and playful dog and Purr-c is a sweet and independent cat. Caroline was super kind and generous with us and always responded to our concerns during our stay. She made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. It was an excellent and unforgettable experience. Thank you Caroline!
 
SEBASTIAN (Feb 2024 - 2 nights)
Such an easy and relaxing sit, with good communication and adorable pets. Molly is a sweetheart, obedient and loves company. Purr-c is independent, doing is own thing during the day, but very smoochy when he appeared at night. The house is in a stunning location with spectacular views. I would gladly housesit for Caroline again.
 
LINA (Jan 2024 - 2 nights)
I had a great time at the Tutukaka coast looking after Molly (dog) and Purr-c (cat). Molly is a really sweet and fun dog to look after. We had a lot of fun playing fetch on the beach. Purr-c is an absolutely sweetheart and loves a good cuddle. The house is very comfortable and the views as simply stunning. I would housesit for Caroline again at any time.
 
LISA (Jul 2022 - 7 days)
This was one of those very special house sits with the most gentle, sociable and well behaved dog in a perfect location that one wants to keep all to oneself so as to do it again! Molly was such fun to play with, at home or on the stunning, wild beach just down the road. Purr-C, who lived up to his name, spent the evenings in the house but was doing his own thing during the day. Communication with Caroline was easy with a chat prior to the sit and written notes left for us. The view from the ... MORE

Richard says thank you for the delicious scones! Have a great trip abroad. I will certainly be in contact in the future :)
Thanks Caroline for letting us look after your lovely home and animals. Very easy communication both before and during the house sit, clear instructions provided and felt very welcome. Really enjoyed looking after Molly, Teddy and Scooby (the dogs) and taking them on there daily walks to the beach. Purr-c (cat) was super easy and friendly. Lovely warm home with fire and stunning views over Tutukaka coast. Would happily house sit again, thanks!
 
SARAH (Jun 2020 - 1 week 5 days)
No rating I would recommend housesitting for Caroline. The house is in a rural setting and all the farm animals are easy to care for. Molly the dog is an absolute delight . And the cat is friendly.I enjoyed my housesit and the house is really warm with the fire burning. Annette
ANNETTE (Apr 2018 - 1 week 4 days)
No rating Caroline has a lovely comfortable rural home close to the coast and close to shops. We had a great stay there with Molly the dog who kept us entertained with her toys and balls and also loved the beach. All the other animals were great and easy to look after. We highly recommend this housesit and Caroline made us very comfortable and welcome. Thanks for a great stay.
