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.

We are David and Adrienne Smith and our ages are 69 and 62. We are a friendly, quiet couple, non-smokers, who have rented out our home in Auckland to discover the rest of this beautiful country, whilst caring for your home and pets. About us: David spent much of his early years on a farm in Matamata, before moving with his family to Auckland. He has worked for Air New Zealand, and its predecessor NAC, for many years as an airline pilot, both short and long haul and is now retired. David is involved in IT support for a charity group, which can be carried out anywhere there is internet connection. We do not need much bandwidth, its mostly offline work. Adrienne, also retired, has worked as a nurse and caregiver. She is a keen gardener and loves walking, crafts and reading. We are keen to move into the next phase of life, exploring other parts of this beautiful country, and beyond. Since Coronavirus cancelled the holiday plans of many, we chose to spend a year in the beautiful Bay of Plenty, but now we feel it's time to return to caring for your fur, feathered and finned family. Our gorgeous bi-colour ragdoll cat is no longer with us, leaving us free to care for your home and pets. We love pets and have significant experience caring for cats, dogs of various sizes and ages, and chooks, goats, cows and birds. Awarded as a top 10 housesitter for 2019 and 2020. As we have no work or family constraints, we can offer dedicated service to caring for your home and pet as we would our own.

Hi .. My name is Jude.. I am a 59 year old Women, Company Director and mobile travelling sales person, selling educational resources to schools throughout NZ. I have been working in a travelling sales role all around NZ for more than 30 years... working, travelling and usually staying in motels or my time share accommodation, which tends to be a little expensive over the year. I have flexibility and can work any in area. I am normally at work daily for around 5-6 hours and home mid afternoon to do paper work etc. feed, walk animals, and prepare dinner. I own 2 houses and at present have them both rented with tenants and flatmates. So I totally respect other peoples property and belongings. I have done a lot of housing sitting over the years and have cared for and feed many animals. Auckland for 3 months looking after dogs and cats. Farm animals or feeding chickens, which is no problem as I am a country girl at heart. I have had looked after 3 large dogs. One that required monitored medication daily and exercise. I have also had to feed unwell cats medicine etc and have no problem caring for your pets no matter what there needs. I enjoy the company of animals especially since I am away from home so much. Whilst I am at home during the summer months, I used to host overseas students that come to NZ to learn English. I have had many students over the years, Swiss, Thai, Arabian, Japanese, Chiian, Brazillian. They all love staying with me and I recently even had someone REQUEST to stay with Jude Habib. Very unusual. Obviously now due to covid this is not happening. Homeowners can be assured that I will treat their home and their pets as they would themselves with upmost care and respect enabling them to have a stress free time away from home and to enjoy your holiday with no concerns.

Kia ora, My name is Briegé, I am a 26 year old full-time distance student, studying psychology. I came across this website and was intrigued about the adventures it could bring, and so I applied! I love living life to the fullest, discovering more of this beautiful country/world we live in and encouraging others to do the same. My hobbies include; heading to the gym/running (I am working towards the Queenstown half marathon in November), playing guitar/singing, writing, reading, hiking and enjoying quality time with good people. I have experience with an older dog, as well as my own a dog (Maltese shitzu) and cat. I learn quickly and I am extremely responsible. I am a great time manager and would love a house of my own some day - so this would be great practice! I will respect your rules, keep your house happy, clean and tidy. I assure you I will not disappoint! Thanks for checking out my profile and I hope to hear from you soon! Briegé Koning
