Our home

I live in Waiuku, a small town on the southern outskirts of Auckland in a modern brick and tile home. It is located within walking distance of the shops. Awhitu Peninsula is located nearby which has a regional park and beaches to explore.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

It is a friendly small town but close enough to drive to the city if needed.

I have two dogs needing loving care while I am away. They were both rescue dogs and as best we can tell or know, one is a wire haired Jack Russell/foxie and the other a Huntaway X. We live in a smallish town, Waiuku, in a modern brick and tile home. The Awhitu Peninsula is nearby for exploration, walks etc. Our nearest bigger town is Pukekohe.
I would like to visit my son in Australia and need someone to be with the dogs. They are fed twice a day and need a walk of at least 1/2hr. I would like someone who loves dogs and is confident with them. The larger dog can pull sometimes when walking - not to get away, but to smell something interesting for example.
The dates I have given are approximate as I have not made a booking yet and can be flexible.

This is the second time around for us with Heidi and her lovely pooches River and Joseph, it was a pleasure to spend time with the dogs again, they are extremely affectionate, love to have snuggles and adore their walks daily. Heidi is a great communicator and it was great to get to know her. Heidis home is in a quiet culdesac extremely convenient to all amenities in Waiuku.
I had a wonderful time with River and Joseph at Heidi's comfortable house located walking distance to the heart of Waiuku's village. Both dogs are very well-behaved and we all enjoyed our daily walks around town. River can get a bit excited by smells and other dogs, but is just curious. Communication with Heidi was easy and efficient. The house was extremely comfortable and has all of the amenities one would desire. I would definitely house sit for Heidi again and recommend it to others.
