We need a house sitter

Region: Auckland - Rodney

House Owner: John

Looking for house sitter during dates listed. Have a Labradoodle dog called Leo who needs looking after while we are away. We live 5mins from a beautiful beach where you can safely swim and walk.. We have a fully fenced section with automatic gates for security. Leo is now 12 years old and has had a crucial ligament operation on his left rear leg, so now requires only short walks on a lead at all times due to ligament damage.After his walk he will happily sleep for the rest of the day.
Prefer person or persons who can be home for maybe some part of day to keep Leo company if possible.
The house is modern with heat pump & internet.

Another fabulous Leo sit. He’s such a good boy and everything went well again. Great communication and superb spot. Had lots of local walks.

I loved looking after Leo! John and Mary were wonderful communicators and their house was lovely to stay in. Leo is such a fabulous boy and I really enjoyed my stay.

My wife Rebecca and I took care of Leo their lovely Labradoodle . He was no trouble at all and their location next to the reserve and the beach made walking him a breeze . We had a great week and were made to feel very welcome. John and Mary's house was immaculate and easy to live in . Thanks John and Rebecca

We absolutely loved our time at John and Mary's home! The house is very comfortable and the location is lovely - just across the road from a park and the estuary, and a short walk from the beach. But the absolute highlight was Leo the retradoodle - such a friendly, laidback and fun chap. Thank you John and Mary for letting us care for your home and Leo!

John & Mary are genuine people, with a gorgeous dog, Leo, who was a pleasure to care for. He has a beautiful nature about him and we adore him. Their place is stunning and metres from Orewa beach and a reserve which give ample opportunities for walks! Thank you so much for letting us stay in your home & looking after Leo!!
