Need a house sitter anytime between June and December 2023?
If you prefer to have someone look after your cat 'in-house' and take good care of your home while you're away, I can help. If you don't have any pets but prefer your home looks lived-in, I can help with that too.
Happy to look after your dog although typically, owners prefer someone home during the day but if that’s not an issue, we can talk about that.
I'm currently house sitting and looking after a cat in St Heliers but available from 2 June.
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 around our stunning country.
I currently work full time as a Documentation Specialist 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 ‘loved and lived in’.
DURATION
Ideally, at least 4 weeks to as long as required. But if you’re away a bit short of that time, please 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.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
