We need a house sitter

Waikato - Hauraki

christine

I am requiring a person or a couple who love dogs to walk and to take care for my three standard poodles. They are Ink, who is 11 1/2years old and Shine who is 3 years old and Fancy who is 2 years old.
The dogs have two walks a day about an hour each time. They have two feeds per day. Ink only needs half an hour to 40 minutes
They sleep on their own beds in the house. There is a spare room in the House that will be for you.
I am about a five minute walk from the beach and a play space for dogs is across the road in Te Mata Reserve. They like ball play in the park or walks on the beach.
The Property is very central to everything else. Shops, Four square, Cafes, RSA, and Art Gallery, everywhere being no more than a 10 minute walk. There is a walk from North end, not for dogs, to another bay.
Your accommodation is in the house. A queen bed in the spare room. A separate toilet. Bath and shower in the bathroom. No ensuite .

Christine and her 3 dogs were such a pleasure to meet. We enjoyed our stay and loved spending time with Shine, Fancy and Ink. Thanks again for having us!

Christine is a lovely person who I've really enjoyed having the opportunity to get to know through housesitting for her 3 adorable dogs. They love there walks 2x a day and some amazing options for walks from the house to beach and parks. One older dog and two younger dogs with one having lots of energy, so they do love there walks. I have developed quite a bond with them and friendship with Christine through this time. I highly recommend this housesit.
 
CHRISTIAN (Oct 2024 - 2 weeks 1 night)
Christine's home is very comfortable and in a great location. Christine was very welcoming and helpful. Unfortunately, the youngest dog was on heat, and we also found it difficult to walk her on the lead, which meant we had to walk her separately from the other dogs. The older 2 dogs were wonderful and very easygoing. All of them have lovely, affectionate natures.

Christine is a lovely women with lovely dogs. She has a garden house were we had privat space for the days. Ink, Shine and Fancy are adorable dogs you can play, walk and cuddle with! We have taken them to our hearts. We had a great time in Waihi Beach and Christine was reachable for questions every time! :)

I absolutely adored Ink, Shine and Fancy! They’re lovely dogs with an equally lovely owner. Christine was fabulous! So friendly and welcoming and took the time to make sure I was comfortable. The location is incredible. You really can’t beat a beautiful morning walk on the beach. The dogs are very well trained and a joy to look after. I would gladly do it again in a heartbeat! It’s also doable without a car as there are shops within walking distance and Christine was kind enough to pick me ... MORE

Christine works from home and was busy on my arrival Indian Ink was very welcoming and affectionate and so was Shine once we met when Christine had finished. These two dogs Shine and Indian Ink are very easy to get on with and look after. Walking is a pleasure as they are well behaved on the lead. A credit to Christine to the way she looks after her dogs. Christine made me feel welcome and the studio was perfect for my stay. Beautiful Waihi Beach is an easy walk from Christine's place ... MORE

Christine is a very lovely and friendly house owner who was easy to communicate with. We spend some time with her before and after our house sit. Her two dogs Shine and Ink are sweet and very handsome. Ink is totally easy to look after, she really just enjoys being with you. Shine is very alive and brings a lot of momentum. It is super fun going for a walk with both of the dogs. The area is beautiful, you can walk at the amazing beach, in the parks nearby or have a look at the town centre. We ... MORE

We had a wonderful time in Waihi Beach with Ink. Ink is a joy to sit for, perfectly trained and great company. She loves her walks on the beach and in the park., with ball throwing a must! Christine is a very generous host and we really enjoyed spending time with her before and after she went away. Her beautiful house is perfectly located, close to the beach and shops. A highly recommended house sit which we look forward to returning to!
