Need someone to mind your home and pets anytime between June and December?
Looking for someone who can provide peace-of-mind reassurance that your home is being cared for by a rock solid, sensible, careful and dependable person? If you have cats that need looking after, that’s great, I can help. Dogs typically prefer someone home during the day but if that’s not an issue, we can talk about that.
ABOUT ME
I’m nearing retirement and planning my VanLife adventures. I will fit out my own van and travel around NZ, finish hiking the rest of the great walks, riding and bike packing.
I work full time for a software company Monday to Friday in the Auckland CBD and ride to work most days. I have the option to work from home one day per week.
I do gardening, mow lawns, pull weeds…whatever is required to keep your home looking ‘lived in’.
DURATION
Ideally, at least 4 weeks to as long as required. But if you’re away a bit short of that time, ask me.
I'm available from 2 June to 31 December 2023.
Happy to pay for water, power and internet usage.
Please reply to this post or just send me a personal message via Messenger or Facebook - I'm very easy to find.

Any homes located in or on the fringes of these suburbs:
St Heliers
Mission Bay

Glendowie
