House and Pet Sitters
Kia ora. We have just sold our Clyde Quay Wharf apartment in Wellington and are wanting to hold off for a year or two before buying a new home. In the interim, we’d love to house and pet sit (preferably mid- to long-term) somewhere in the Wellington/Hutt Valley area.
We are in our early 60s, are fit and healthy non-smokers, and are both rather “house proud” (i.e., clean freaks).
We currently have no pets of our own. We have had lots of pets (cats, dogs, birds, tropical fish, guinea pigs, rats…) in the past though, and would be very pleased to be able to care for your fur (or feather or scale) babies.
Happy to answer any questions and to provide references.
Many thanks!
Steve Osborne and Kate Hatfield-Osborne
