Ashburton
Rivers, a rural lifestyle and the beauty of Canterbury make Ashburton a great town to live in.
Canterbury
Canterbury is a magnificent region of epic landscapes, with mountains, lakes, rivers and plains, not to mention the city of Christchurch. A must see destination for many is the Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. If you want to view New Zealand’s longest glacier, you can view the Haupapa/Tasman Glacier in the park too. And for those who like a challenging walk, Arthur’s Pass National Park is the place to be. Don’t worry though if you prefer to be in a city as the Garden City of Christchurch has much to offer, with restaurants and bars in the Salt District, plus the Christchurch Art Gallery, and a lot, lot more.

My wife and I are retired and are systematically exploring NZ and looking forward to exploring it's many treasures. We will be available from July onwards 2021. We enjoy photography, writing, travel, bonsai's,woodworking & motorbikes. When in Australia David house sat for 5 months non stop looking after dogs cats birds & chooks. We love animals and have had dogs and cats over the years, and regularly look after our family's animals when required. Your pet is of utmost importance and will be cuddled and spoiled as if our own, this comes naturally to us both. The security of your home is also equally of utmost importance and will be treated as if our own.

Hello, I’m Kate; here is a little about me. I am a Teacher and have had the good fortune to have been able to travel the world with my career. I’m originally from Nelson. During the last 25 years, I have lived and worked in London, Bangkok, HCMC, Shanghai, and Beijing. It has all been an exciting adventure. While living and working in Vietnam and China, I looked after friends’ pups and then went on to foster many dogs. I found a tiny puppy on the street in Shanghai. He lived with me for three years and turned out to be a big dog. His name is Paddy. Sadly, I could not bring him back to New Zealand with me. I found him a great and loving home and have regular contact with his 2nd Mummy. I will always be 1st Mummy. I am sure you will understand how heartbreaking it was separating from him. I have now returned to Tauranga to live and work. I have a six-month contract teaching in Tauranga. I love dogs and cats. I am a keen walker and love finding new places to walk. The only thing that is missing is a furry friend. I am currently staying with my family. However, I would love to do short or long term house sitting while settling into Tauranga. I am clean and tidy and enjoy healthy living. I am a non-smoker.

I am a friendly, kind, fully vaccinated non smoker and I love people and animals....I really enjoy hiking, reading, movies, numbers (luckily I work at an Accountants), handcrafts, friends, family and pottering around home. I am comfortable looking after apartments in the city, homes in the suburbs and also homes in rural areas - pets or no pets. I have been with the Housesitting Company since November 2021 and have a few references online. If you require further reassurance I have a list of other home-owners/pet-owners who are happy to be called as referees. Please email or text me and I can provide more details to put you in touch with some of those who may have similar animals and/or houses as yourself. I am a mum of two gorgeous young adults who are running their own worlds....I currently base myself in Kaiapoi and work in Rangiora, North Canterbury. *************************************** I love to housesit to help others - so they can have a holiday reassured that their home and animals are well looked after. From my own previous experience, I know how hard it can be to find a kennel/cattery or a suitable person to look after the gorgeous animals in our lives. For me house-sitting is a lovely change of scenery and it would be fabulous to care for other people’s animals and/or home. I really enjoy the company of other people’s animals. I am 51 years old...and as I mentioned, my children are nearly grown ups (when did that happen!!)....they have both “flown” my nest ...my son is a second year building apprentice and my daughter is at Auckland Uni doing architecture ....as they don’t live with me now I can freely go housesitting as required. I grew up by the beach in Sumner and our family always had house pets and my (now ex-) husband and I brought our children up on a lifestyle block in Ohoka with cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, dogs and cats. So I have looked after and have experience with a wide range of stock/pets (in saying that I am not familiar with riding and the daily care of horses - although I love being around them!). I would feel privileged if you choose to have me as your Housesitter. I am very tidy and am happy to do things the way you wish. I will respect your house and everything in it and will be grateful for you letting me stay in your home. I look forward to hearing from you!!

Hi everybody! So nice of you to take the time to read our profile! If you are looking for pet lovers that are also clean and organised, look no more! You have found us! We are Adriana and Cesar, a down-to-Earth couple in our late 30s, enjoying New Zealand's welcoming lifestyle for the past three years. Hard to think of a time when we are not in contact with animals. Back in South America, we had pets all our lives, as well as rescued and fostered stray cats and dogs. So you can positively be sure we will take care of your furry buddies with kindness, and deliver an off-the-roof overall service. Our daily routines involve reading, cooking, exercising, and spending time outdoors. And though we both work full time mostly, we have different schedules and at least one of us stays at home for the majority of the day. Doing house-sitting allows us to travel, and meet new places and cultures, while saving some money, of course. Taking care of homes and pets is a serious matter to us, and we commit to it fully. Stay safe, you, and your fluffy friends! Thanks! Adriana & Cesar.-
