Housesitting wanted!
Hello!
We’re Freddie and Frankie! We are housesitters here in Christchurch, and we're on the hunt for houses to sit! We are a couple who have been living in Christchurch for the past year. We are very responsible and friendly people, with lots of experience in home sitting. We recently housesat a home in St Martins for 3 months, looking after pets, lawns etc. We will be very respectful of your home and privacy, and will keep your home safe and sound while you are away. We are big animal lovers, and would love to take care of your pet(s) while you're away, including making sure your pet(s) get plenty of exercise and lots of pats. We are currently house sitting in Beckham, where we look after a lovely dog, collect post and keep the house safe and sound!
Freddie is into his fourth year studying Law at Canterbury Uni and is currently working at Hohepa doing gardening. Frankie is on a working gap year as a waitress at Dose Diner, who previously studied Languages at Victoria Uni in Wellington and is looking into studying here in Christchurch.
We are available from the 21st of July but please message any other dates past this! We can provide positive references from previous housesits :) We don't charge any money, so we're far cheeper than a kennel!
Thanks, Freddie and Frankie :)
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are 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.
