Our home

Come enjoy a peaceful getaway in our sunny Mosgiel home, perfect for a relaxing housesitting experience.

Our cozy house is on a quiet street, just a short walk from local shops and a quick drive to multiple beaches. There, you can take a refreshing swim on a rare warm Dunedin day or, if the water is too cold, enjoy a lovely walk on the beach.

For those who love the outdoors, you'll be steps from the scenic Silver Stream and a short drive from Outram Glen for a longer adventure. If you're ... Read moreCome enjoy a peaceful getaway in our sunny Mosgiel home, perfect for a relaxing housesitting experience.

Our cozy house is on a quiet street, just a short walk from local shops and a quick drive to multiple beaches. There, you can take a refreshing swim on a rare warm Dunedin day or, if the water is too cold, enjoy a lovely walk on the beach.

For those who love the outdoors, you'll be steps from the scenic Silver Stream and a short drive from Outram Glen for a longer adventure. If you're up for a day trip, the stunning landscapes of Middlemarch and Central Otago are also within easy reach.

You'll be looking after Frank and Moss, our affectionate cat and dog. You'll also have access to our coffee machine to brew a delicious cup of coffee to enjoy on our sunny deck.

The house offers a comfortable stay with three bedrooms: two with a queen bed and a third with a single bed/ cot if needed.

If you're interested in a quiet retreat and some animal cuddles, please reach out with any questions!

This House-Sit proved to be a pleasure in every way! The home was comfortable; the location was brilliant (walking distance into Mosgiel, and lots of bike tracks nearby); and their pet cat Frank, was the most delightful fella!

ASHLEY (Jan 2025 - 1 week 2 nights)

Hollys house was so cozy and comfortable! On such a nice little Street with a beautiful yard and amazing deck. I loved her animals. Moss (the dog) was so friendly and so so well behaved- and Frank (the cat) was so easy going and independent- both very cuddly and lovely animals! Holly was always around for any questions or concernes but honestly- her animals were so easy going and well behaved there was no issues whatsoever ! I would pet sit for these two anytime :)
