We need a house sitter

Manawatū-Whanganui - Whanganui

Doug and Lynda

Hi
We have a 2 bedroom house with a small view of the ocean. 5 min walk to the river and 10 min to the beach. One big huntaway cross neutered bitch (Bella) who is a total beach bimbo. One black cat (Shade). He has a dodgy hip so we have to be mindful of that but he manages it himself.
We might be using a dog walker occasionally that Bella knows well. She is 9 years old, and loves to run and spend time in the water- but we have to limit her exercise so she doesn’t feel sore later.
The section is big but there will be little or no garden work required. We will mow the lawns before we go and it does not worry us if they are not done while we are away.
The house has a sun room, a log burner with plenty of wood, a semi covered deck and bbq. Normal kitchen etc. Our house is by no means flash. But it is warm and dry. The dog is allowed in one room only. Please no smoking in the house. Neighbours are quiet and friendly. 4 square supermarket 10 minutes walk away.
With discussion we are flexible with arrival and departure dates, as long as our time away is covered.

Housesitting at Doug's and Lynda's in Whanganui was our first kiwi housesitting experience in New Zealand and it couldn't go better! From the very beginning we felt most welcomed at their home and we appreciated it a lot having just arrived in the country. They are kind, helpful and generous people who love their animals very much. We spent a lot of lovely moments with Shadey and Bella and made a lot of great memories at Castecliff. We hope to see you and the animals again during our stay in ... MORE
