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 :)
