We need a house sitter

Bay of Plenty - Tauranga

Helen

Hi,

House sitter would need to be able to arrive 1130am Friday.

We're looking for a house sitter for our 8 year old Jack Russell Poppy, our 11 year old ginger cat Percy. Poppy would require walking most days, theres lots of great dog walks in the area.

We also have 2 chickens that get fed daily and let out for fresh grass.

Would need to water the garden and pot plants.

We have a 3 bedroom house in Brookfield with off street parking and a great outdoor area. Walking distance to New World, estuary loop access way 4min walk away, 10min drive to central Tauranga.

Thanks Helen

We really enjoyed our house sit. Poppy is the best behaved little girl, the chickens were a hit and the shy cat turned out the best quite a snuggly one. We enjoyed hanging out in the front and back yard and the comms with Helen was easy going. Thanks for having us.

Helen's family home was a great place to stay, with everything we needed to feel comfortable. Poppy, their dog, is an absolute sweetheart—so well-behaved and a joy to be around - we'll truly miss her! The chickens were super easy to take care of, and Percy, the cat, kept his distance but made a surprise appearance to say goodbye and enjoy some cuddles before we left. We had a wonderful experience and absolutely loved our time in Tauranga!"

We had a wonderful 3-night stay in Helen's! The home was lovely, in a convenient location with all amenities nearby, making everything we needed easily accessible. We enjoyed spending time with their adorable and friendly pets – Poppy and Percy and the two chickens. The garden was filled with beautiful flowers and a fantastic veggie patch, which was a lovely area to chill out and relax in the sun. Overall, it was a delightful stay, and we'd be happy to return!

Beautiful family and beautiful home to look after. It was a real pleasure to take care of Poppy and Percy in this wonderful house. They were the best company we could have, we really enjoyed looking after them and our walks in the park. Poppy will always be by your side giving you lots of love and making you feel at home. The hardest part was leaving. Helen and Steve are very kind and generous, they made us feel very welcome in their lovely home before they left and left us with detailed ... MORE
