Adrian

Hi I am a full time firefighter based in Hamilton in the Waikato. I have been with the Fire Service for 30 years. I have been house sitting reasonably consistently for a year. Having separated from my wife a year and a half ago and with my two daughters now travelling and working in Europe it was time for something a bit different, I have looked after properties in Marlborough, Canterbury and in the Waikato with animals, gardens and pools to care for, references available. A number of years ago my wife and I managed an extensive rural property whilst the owners lived and traveled overseas. I have walked the Te Araroa Trail (length of NZ walk) the Portuguese Camino and the Coast to Coast across England. I am relatively new to the House-sitting website as all of my house minding has come thru friends and referrals. I always do a professional diligent job, I have a campervan and a flexible attitude, so am keen to take opportunities as they arise.

Reference.
Adrian house sat for us recently while we went on a family vacay to Bali, as some mutual friends had recommended him. When we arrived home 2 weeks later, OMG the house was so immaculate it was as if no one had been there!
Adrian even took the time to write a lovely note providing an update on things while we were away (Mail, Animals, Plants etc.), which was much appreciated. He treated our home with such respect it was as if he’d never been there and we’d never been away!
I would not hesitate to recommend Adrian as a house sitter, in fact we’ve already told him we are pre-booking him in for when we head away next! 😊
