Hello my name is Ian

I am a single person and what people would say as been low key , non alcohol , not a party person. Love nature and gardens. I'm tidy and respectful of peoples homes. Your home and pets are well looked after and will be as good as the day you left. I have no problem looking after gardens and mowing lawns or anything else you require. I have looked after many pets ,[ cats have been in my life from childhood ] and have references from all homes I've looked after. Can email references .One home for 3 months looked after 7 cats-4 dogs - 35 ducks /chickens and was of the grid in Wiamate North. I have my own car .
I have a wide range of handy man skills . I am a photographer and do my own calendars for around the Otago region . I also have my photographic work in shops and attend markets . To see my work, look up Port chalmers artisan market website, or contact me for details. In between I have clients whom I do gardening for and no problem to supply contact number for reference.
Kind regards Ian

We'd highly recommend Ian as a housesitter. He took great care of our house and our dog, Bella. She was happy and healthy on our return. Ian communicated really well and was kind and courteous. He left us some lovely photo cards of the Otago Peninsula, where we live. We would happily have him to house-sit again. Many thanks, Ian

Ian was the first house sitter we have used and I couldn't be more impressed. He was helpful in guiding me through the approval process and was thorough in his communication with us. On arrival back home our house and garden was immaculate, such a wonderful surprise. We met Ian a day or so later and found him to be a lovely, easy going impressive person. I'd totally recommend Ian for further sitting.

Ian was helpful and appreciative – and left the house in perfect condition. My (rather aloof) cats were chilled and well cared for, thank you Ian.

Ian was a fantastic sitter. He took care of our cat Charlie like he was his own and left our house & garden in better condition than when we left. We also came home to baked goods and beautiful photos of Charlie. Highly recommend - thanks again Ian!!
 
LUCY (Wanaka South Island, Oct 2022 - 1 week 4 days)
Fantastic job from Ian, very easy to deal with and very good communication. House and Pets well looked after. Our dog Skye had had major leg surgery a week before Ian came to sit and he coped extremely well with her. I wouldnt hesitate to have him back. Also loved the little gift he left us. Both Neil and I wish Ian all the best for the future

No rating I would 100% recommend Ian. He is totally reliable, friendly, kind and a great communicator. He also allowed me to take an extra day. Thankyou Ian.

I very much enjoyed looking after Rhonda's humble home, peaceful rural outlook. MaCherie the cat is a pleasure to look after ( especially if you get her brush out). Very central to all that the far South Island has to offer. Thank you Rhonda.
Ian exceeded all expectations. As well as looking after everything, our cat, lawns, horses, garden, he shared his photography skills with us. Photographed our horses, cat, garden and local events, etc. He took a great effort in making sure everything was clean and tidy and gardens even weeded. A very cabable and versitile bloke that we certainly will have sit for us again. Would recommend with bells on. Thanks Ian.
