House / Pet Sitter Available
Hi, I'm Jo.
I am a professional, Kiwi, single female in my 40's. I am currently in-between houses for the next few months (November 2019 onwards) and am available to house sit in Auckland and surrounding areas.
I have my own Internet Business which doesn't require too much of my time and allows me to 'work from home'. This also means I am available to look after your pets and home 24/7 as I don't have to travel to work!
I am experienced, having house sat for several places over the last few months and can provide several references detailing my trustworthiness, cleanliness, capabilities, etc!
I do have a small Shih Tzu dog, 4 years old, fully immunised who is very well behaved and is experienced living in a variety of places. She is very friendly and loves other dogs and is very respectful of cats (ie keeps her distance and leaves them alone!)
We love going for walks every day which means your pooch/s would get exercise, treats and company day and night. I am experienced walking several dogs at once - my dog Tilly - walks at the back and lets other dogs take the lead spot!
I love gardening and housework, so your home and property would be very clean and tidy and your grounds well looked after in your absence.
I have my own vehicle, which is suitable for taking dogs on 'trips' to parks or out and about.
Feel free to contact me if you would like to meet/chat!

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
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.
We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
