We need a house sitter

Canterbury - Christchurch

Courtney

We're looking for someone to come and look after our 3 year old Staffy cross pup Mousse and our cat Janice while we're away over Easter and ANZAC day. Mousse is a really easy going wee guy, we walk him once a day and he is fed a raw diet morning and night. He is a bit scared of other dogs and can react agressively to them so we walk him in quiet areas and avoid other dogs. He is fully crate trained which is where he sleeps at night, and is able to be left loose the house throughout the day for around 6 hours at a time if need be. He is super loving and just wants to hang out all the time. Janice is a beautiful wee black cat who is full of personality. She's also super easy going, she has a cat door she has access to always. She'll be sure to let you know when she's home and wants pats. Our house is lovely and warm, with a BBQ and nice yard. It's close to some great walks and has a supermarket and local shops nearby.

It was our pleasure to house-sit for Courtney. Her home is modern, spacious and very comfortable. Communications and changeovers were hassle-free. Mousse was a happy, fun dog. He travelled well in the car and was very well behaved on lead on walkies! Janice, the cat was easy care and relaxed. Highly recommend Courtney's home to fellow house-sitters:)

I had a very enjoyable time hanging out with Mousse and Jan. They are both very low maintenance animals who make for great company. Mousse starts off shy, but after a day or so he becomes very affectionate and a great companion. He is a friendly and well behaved dog who I wish I could have spent more time with. Jan lives by her own schedule but as long as you leave food out for her, she will let you give her as many pets as you want. The house and guest room were cozy and comfortable, with a ... MORE

Lovely couple with lovely, animals and a really nice house. A pleasure to sit for them and their animals. Communication was excellent. Obviously rightly particular about who took care of their house and animals- my kind of people.

We thoroughly enjoyed house sitting for Courtney and Campbell in their lovely new house in Halswell Christchurch. They are a great couple really friendly to meet and easy to get on with. Courtney had listed simple to follow instructions about looking after the house and Janice the cat which we appreciated as it made things so easy for us. Janice was a treat! She was really independent but so friendly and affectionate when she quickly got used to us. We would be extremely happy to house sit ... MORE
