If you prefer the peace-of-mind of 'in-home' care, I can help with that.
I’m currently house and 4 x cat sitting in Kohimarama for the next 3 weeks and hoping to help another household late Oct/November with their beloved feline/s. If you don't have any pets but prefer your home looks lived-in, I can help with that too.
ABOUT ME
I’m nearing retirement and planning my VanLife adventures. I will soon buy and fit-out my own van before heading off to finish hiking the rest of the great walks and Bikepacking wherever. I currently work full time as a Documentation Specialist for a software company Monday to Friday in the Auckland CBD and ride to work most days. I do gardening, mow lawns, pull weeds, clean pools…whatever is required to keep your home looking ‘loved and lived in’.
SUBURBS
Any homes located in or on the fringes of these suburbs: St Heliers, Mission Bay, Orakei, Glendowie, Remuera, Meadowbank, Kohimarama, St Johns, Stonefields, Newmarket, Parnell, Ponsonby, Herne Bay, Pt Chev.
I would also be interested in suburbs around Epsom/Greenlane.
Happy to pay for water, gas, power and internet usage.
Please reply to this post or just send me a personal message via Messenger or Facebook - I'm very easy to find.
