Do you, or someone you know, need an experienced and caring house and cat sitter?
As it happens, I have some free time while awaiting the completion of my custom van build in Christchurch right now. I also have some availability for January 2025. Sorry, I’m already booked for the Xmas/New Year 2025 period.
I’m an expert house sitter with 20 house sits to date since February 2023 with several repeat gigs for the same clients and cats.
AVAILABILITY
I'm available between the following dates:
16 to 30 November 2024
8 to 31 January 2025
Possibly February 2025 (to be decided)

If you prefer the peace-of-mind of 'in-home' care, I can help with that.
If you don't have any pets but prefer your home looks lived-in, I can help with that too.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
