Experienced pet carer and house sitter available
Hey neighbours,
With domestic travel resuming, the school holidays approaching and people starting to plan for the longer break over summer, thought I would write a quick message to say I'm on the lookout for pet care and housesitting opportunities.
My name is Caitlin and I have been caring for other people's pets for a total of over 10 years now. I have a full driver's license and my own car so getting to different areas around Wellington is not a problem. I work in the central city during the week but am happy to do once or twice daily visits, or stay at the house if you prefer. I can also give medications if needed and will care for your pets as though they are my own (sadly I haven't had my own since we lost our dear old cat in 2018).
Reasonable rates depending on needs and references available.
Contact info: easiest contact method is either a message on Neighbourly, an email to chearfield14@gmail.com or a txt message to 027 821 3969 (more likely to get ahold of me than a phone call though I will call back if requested).
:)

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
