Experienced pet carer and house sitter available
Hey neighbours,
With domestic travel resuming, the school holidays approaching and people starting to plan for the longer break over summer, thought I would write a quick message to say I'm on the lookout for pet care and housesitting opportunities.
My name is Caitlin and I have been caring for other people's pets for a total of over 10 years now. I have a full driver's license and my own car so getting to different areas around Wellington is not a problem. I work in the central city during the week but am happy to do once or twice daily visits, or stay at the house if you prefer. I can also give medications if needed and will care for your pets as though they are my own (sadly I haven't had my own since we lost our dear old cat in 2018).
Reasonable rates depending on needs and references available.
Contact info: easiest contact method is either a message on Neighbourly, an email to chearfield14@gmail.com or a txt message to 027 821 3969 (more likely to get ahold of me than a phone call though I will call back if requested).
:)
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?

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?
