Experienced Housesitter available
Hi
Short Notice - sitter available See dates below
I"m an experienced housesitter mature woman who loves animals and can almost call myself an animal whisperer. When I meet animals (pets) for the first time they often come up to me sit on me and hang around so they must be able to sense that I'm a nice person :)
I'm a non-smoker and non-drinker love gardening and live a fairly quiet life. I really enjoy looking after pets as haven't owned one of my own for quite a few years now. I had a ginger tabby for 10 years. I grew up with a menagerie of them including a milking goat and her 2 kids numerous cats dogs ducks sheep chooks guinea pigs canaries and budgies. I've really missed not having my won or so long due to the places I've been living so this has been a wonderful opportunity to be with them again.
I'm now available from
1. 29 - 31 Jan
2. 6 - 10 Feb
3. 27 Mar - 30 April
If you know anyone who needs pets looking after please message me as soon as you can to ensure my availability.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
