Housesitter extraordinaire available !
My friend has a home in Auckland but has been travelling overseas for several months and has tenants currently until at least February and therefore wishes to offer her services as a house sitter. Dates beyond February would also be negotiable. She has plenty experience and has excellent references having done this many times before. She has lived, owned and operated a business in Northland in the past and is very keen to house sit in Whangarei. Having known my friend for 40+ years I can personally assure you that your home would receive the best of care and you could enjoy your travels with no concerns for your property. Please contact Dianne 0211017877. She will be delighted to hear from you !
