Hello Everybody,

My partner and I are around home this holiday season, and we would like to offer to help out neighbours while they are away. In the past we have reached out to locals for the feeding and caring of our cat.

Happy to do:
1. Pet feeding - Neighbourly cats that like to stay at home for peace and quiet (we have one of these), while their cat family are away. Will consider dogs.
2. Plant Watering - Neighbours have some amazing gardens in Mount Cook that need care while people are away; outdoor and indoor considered.
3. Dog Walking - Just exercise them when you are not around or more if they are little. My partner loves dogs, Dachshund's get extra care from her.
4. Local house - security check outside etc. with report.

We are local people, live in the area (near Willis, Aro, Thompson, Webb and Nairn Streets etc.), reliable professional people working in the city, that are keen to help out. Very trustworthy etc. No set fees, happy to help out.

Anyway we are around, please reach out if you have any more questions.

Have yourself a happy holiday neighbours!

Thank you, Rob and Jess
