We need a house sitter

Waikato - South Waikato

Pauline

We are looking for House sitters to look after our four dogs (all trained and friendly), three cats (think they own the house), free range chickens. And weather depending we might ask you to water the veggie garden as well.

We live on a farm with magnificent views of the Mount Karioi. It is a very peaceful environment with great short walks around the house. Raglan is 25 minutes drive from the farm.

You must be confortable living remotely and enjoy the company of multiple animals. Animals can be left in their kennels for some time but we hope for housesitters who would rather spend time at home as well.

You will also feed about 40 free range chickens (a 5 minutes daily walk lovely to do with the dog, following a farm track!
) who are used to seeing us everyday so they are very social and like to follow you around. Lucky they don’t know their way up to the house !

We had a great time looking after the 4 lovely retired dogs, 3 cats that like to eat, and around 40 free range chickens. My kids really enjoyed it. If you are not fond of picking up chickens (as the fly into their food bin), then rather don't do this. But if you love nature, animals plus peace & quiet time, then I absolutely recommend this. Pauline is awesome and so kind, she even bought our kids Christmas presents and put up the Christmas tree so that we can have an extra special time ... MORE

This place is truely special. Pauline and Noel are so kind, generous and welcoming and made me feel right at home. I miss all the lovely animals as if they were my own. I really hope I have the opportunity to go back some day.

We absolutely loved our time at Pauline's! The animals are all really sweet (especially the four dogs who all love cuddles), the views are amazing and the house is really nice and we felt very at home. We enjoyed our walk each morning down to feed the chickens and have a search for the eggs. Pauline and Noel were both really kind and welcoming and explained how everything worked at the house. We would definitely recommend house sitting there!
 
CLAIRE & JAMES (May 2024 - 4 nights)
We were so fortunate to look after Pauline and Noel’s wonderful furred and feathered family and spectacular property. Boy, Emma, Rita and Ellie were such lovely dogs and a joy to walk and spend time with. Arthur, Moon and Socks were real characters & we enjoyed their individual personalities & furry cuddles. The chickens were such a delight & we looked forward to our twice daily visits & egg hunts. We were blessed to be able to harvest beautiful produce from the veggie patch & the flower ... MORE

MALENA (Sep 2023 - 1 week)
I had the best time petsitting for Pauline and Noel! They have 3 gorgeous, friendly dogs, and 3 sweet, fluffy, cuddly cats! Their house is set in a incredible piece of land, with beautiful views over the hills, a really peaceful area to unwind and escape into nature, and amazing walks around the property. It's also not far from Raglan if you want to go surfing or hang out in town for a bit, they were really chilled out about leaving the animals for a few hours to enjoy what's on offer, and the ...

We absolutely loved our stay at Paulina's and Noel's house! Very warm and welcoming house with stunning views. The animals are so well behaved and easy to look after. We got along very well with 3 cats: Socks, Moon and Archie. We fell in love with them all! We also had 3 dogs: Emma, Boy and Rita. They all are super obedient and friendly. We also looked after few chickens which was very easy. Noel and Paulina were very efficient in their communications. They were very flexible with our arrival ... MORE

Unforgettable housesit! A farm experience in a stunning location with all the comfort of a modern life. 20min from Raglan, we met the wonderful couple Pauline and Noel: they make us feel at home straight away and even had dinner the first night together. Communication with them was effortless. Sox, Arthur, Moon the cats are so chill and got along with us instantly. Emma, Boy and Rita the cuddly dogs were the best ones we met. There is even Turkey, the pet turkey, who is chatty and extremely ... MORE
