Experienced pet carer and house sitter available
Hey neighbours,
With domestic travel resuming, the school holidays approaching and people starting to plan for the longer break over summer, thought I would write a quick message to say I'm on the lookout for pet care and housesitting opportunities.
My name is Caitlin and I have been caring for other people's pets for a total of over 10 years now. I have a full driver's license and my own car so getting to different areas around Wellington is not a problem. I work in the central city during the week but am happy to do once or twice daily visits, or stay at the house if you prefer. I can also give medications if needed and will care for your pets as though they are my own (sadly I haven't had my own since we lost our dear old cat in 2018).
Reasonable rates depending on needs and references available.
Contact info: easiest contact method is either a message on Neighbourly, an email to chearfield14@gmail.com or a txt message to 027 821 3969 (more likely to get ahold of me than a phone call though I will call back if requested).
:)
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

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!
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
