Laingholm Auckland

We are looking for someone to look after our home and 2 pets (plus fish} while we are away for 1 week in October 2024.

Our house is a small basic 3 bedroom place in the bush down a long private driveway. We have an acre of land which is mostly bush. The house has a heat pump, wifi, Netflix, all the usual stuff, but no dishwasher sorry, though we do have hammock seats on the deck to relax.

A short walk across the road and you have access to bush tracks (ideal for dog walks), or in the other direction you have a short walk to a park/field area for exercise. 5-10 mins drive west you have the Manukau beaches such as Armour Bay and Cornwallis, the dog friendly Kakamatua Beach, and the lovely Huia with it's rustic store.
You can pop down to Laingholm beach store or Woodlands Park store for supplies otherwise if you head back towards civilisation you have the popular village of Titirangi (8mins drive up the hill) where you have pretty much all you need.

Our 10 Yr old Huntaway dog Jessie loves walks and sniffing all the smells, either at the beach or along the bush tracks and parks near our home, or she'll happily chase the ball at home as many times as you want. But she'll just as happily laze around on the deck now she's getting older, especially when the weather is warmer. She is quite routine focused and likes a good snore in front of the TV at night.

We also have a 14+ Yr old black cat, Missy Moo, she is very low maintenance and comes and goes as she pleases, she'll come and snuggle on your lap when you're not looking, but usually will just appear when it's meal time.

We are ideally looking for someone who is home based or doesn't work away all day every day and is clean and respectful. Someone who is reasonably active and has time to spend with Jessie and take her for a walk or have a play and generally just appreciate our location.

Thanks for your time.
