Our home

Hi!
We are looking for a SUPERSTAR solo pet & house sitter with LOTS of previous experience!
We live in a stand alone home in Harewood, Christchurch. We have a cat called Wheelie (she is a senior cat, and a little bit timid and fussy) and we have a Pug called Scrumpy (she is very energetic). Both pets have very specific Veterinary dietary requirements and these strict diets MUST be followed.

Hi!
We are looking for a SUPERSTAR solo pet & house sitter with LOTS of previous experience!
We live in a stand alone home in Harewood, Christchurch. We have a cat called Wheelie (she is a senior cat, and a little bit timid and fussy) and we have a Pug called Scrumpy (she is very energetic). Both pets have very specific Veterinary dietary requirements and these strict diets MUST be followed.

We would like to find someone who: ideally works from home and will always be around for the pets OR who only works short part time hours, as we don't like the pets to be left by themselves for too long at a time.
We have a large lawn area, but very minimal garden care will be required - just some watering of pot plants. We are a short walking distance to a park area, and very handy to the local shops & takeaways.
We can offer unlimited high speed Wifi for working from home, and have secure off-street parking.

If you think you have what it takes to take EXCEPTIONAL care or our pets and our home - please feel free to message us with any questions or for more info on this house sit.

Payment for the right candidate will be considered also :-)

Thanks so much!

Kate & Paul (and the fur-kids)

Hi! We’re looking for a caring, attentive pet/house sitter to look after our two much-loved fur-children while we’re away for around 18 days. Ideally, we’d love someone who works from home, or who can be home regularly, or just simply enjoys spending lots of time around the house, as our pets are very used to having company and attention throughout the day (as one of us works from home so that is what they are used to).

Our Pug is full of personality - very energetic, clever, and always keeping you entertained! She thrives on attention and routine, so we’re looking for someone confident with high energy dogs who can keep a close eye on her, stick to her strict hypoallergenic diet, and take her for daily walks and playtime. She absolutely loves being involved in whatever you’re doing and is happiest when she has company.

Our senior indoor cat is calm, sweet, and loves affection and companionship. She may occasionally require medication, so we’d appreciate someone comfortable with that if needed. Otherwise, she mostly enjoys a quiet environment, cosy spots to nap, and plenty of pats and attention.

Both pets are very loved members of our family, so finding someone warm, reliable, and attentive is really important to us. In return, you’ll have two affectionate companions who will make themselves right at home with you very quickly!
