Seeking house sitting with a cat

Marissa from Remuera

Hi, I'm interested to house sit for anyone around Remuera or nearby suburbs over the holiday weeks. 🎄🎁
I have a cat I'd like to spend time with as I'm not allowed to have him where I live currently.
My cat minder is going overseas for three weeks from 22 December 2024.
I'm honest, respectful of others privacy and property. I'm very clean and tidy and I will happily do jobs like basic garden work while you're away to keep busy. 🙂
I'm keeping options open reaching out on Neighbourly as well as signing up on a house sitting website.
If you or you know of anyone who's looking for a house sitter please feel free to contact me on the below.
