Do you, or someone you know, need an experienced and caring house and cat sitter?

Sheridan from Kohimarama

As it happens, I have some free time while awaiting the completion of my custom van build in Christchurch right now. I also have some availability for January 2025. Sorry, I’m already booked for the Xmas/New Year 2025 period.

I’m an expert house sitter with 20 house sits to date since February 2023 with several repeat gigs for the same clients and cats.

AVAILABILITY
I'm available between the following dates:
16 to 30 November 2024
8 to 31 January 2025
Possibly February 2025 (to be decided)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you prefer the peace-of-mind of 'in-home' care, I can help with that.

If you don't have any pets but prefer your home looks lived-in, I can help with that too.

ABOUT ME
I’m a recently retired Documentation Specialist, planning my VanLife adventures. I do gardening, mow lawns, pull weeds, clean pools…whatever is required to keep your home looking ‘loved and lived in’.

SUBURBS
Any homes located in or on the fringes of these suburbs: St Heliers, Mission Bay, Orakei, Glendowie, Remuera, Meadowbank, Kohimarama, St Johns, Newmarket, Parnell, Ponsonby, Herne Bay, Pt Chev.

Happy to pay for water, gas, 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.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
