House sitting
Kia ora koutou,
My wife, Alexa, and I are currently house sitting in Khandallah and we are looking for house sits in the surrounding area from 2 February through May, 2019.
So far this year we have house sat and pet minded at eight different addresses in Khandallah and Ngaio, we have been Police vetted by the House Sitting Company, and we have very content house owners to call upon should you require references.
We love pets (cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, you name it!) and have both had pets growing up, so we know how to look after them - even the toughest.
So, if you require someone to mind your beloved pets or look after your place then get in touch.
Contact me on 0272381074 or email brettjeffreyreid@gmail.com
Don't hesitate to drop us a line. We'd love to meet you to discuss your house sit. :)

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
