We need a house sitter

Otago - Dunedin

Melissa

We are heading away for a short break over Waitangi weekend and have to leave our beloved dog at home. We have a 7 year old black Labrador called Benji. He's a lovely placid dog (once he's given you an excited welcome), and loves a run over the hill at the beach or down the road at the dog park or a walk around the neighbourhood.
He is an inside dog (and has his own dedicated spot on the sofa!) but keeps out of the bedrooms, and he sleeps outside in his kennel at night.
Nice quiet neighbourhood, and the house has off street parking and regular home comforts such as Netflix and wifi etc. We have children under 8yrs old, so families would be welcome.

I was fortunate enough to be asked back to house sit for Melissa and her wonderful lab, Benji. Melissa was lovely in communicating everything to me and had everything organised for when I arrived. Benji is the best company! He is such a beautiful dog to sit for and we had a great week together. The park and beach are close so we went out exploring every day, which he loved. Their home has a very peaceful feel to it and it made for a great week. Would recommend to anyone and happily sit ... MORE

I was able to come back again and house sit for Melissa and Hayden's amazing dog, Benji. Everything is always prepared for me to arrive and Melissa communicates wonderfully before and during the house sit. Benji is the best company!! Lovely to be with, and we have great outings to the park and beach. Wonderful house sit :-D:-D

I house sat for four days for Melissa and her amazing dog, Benji. It was such a wonderful stay! Melissa was brilliant with her communication prior and upon arriving, everything was set out just for what I needed. Benji was the best company, I had a lovely time with him and we went out exploring every day. He was such a joy to be around. I'm fortunate enough to be house sitting next month - would recommend Melissa as a house owner to anyone. Really enjoyed it :-D:-D
