Kawerau
Kawerau is a key town in the Eastern Bay of Plenty, and has the magnificent Putauaki (Mount Edgecumbe) dormant volcanic cone behind it. You can apply for a permit to climb the mountain, with access permits to climb Mt Putauaki available from Maori Investments. Kawerau is well placed for travelling to Rotorua and Whakatane, and a great location for people wanting to go hiking and cycling, or who prefer an easy stroll on the tree-lined streets.

Hi my name is Paul Julian. I work as a Counsellor at agencies in the Tauranga area, including Waipuna Hospice. I have a great love for animals, each with their own personality and needs, much like humans. As a child I always had pets, most notably my cat Felicity who I got as a kitten when I was just 5 years old. She was a much loved companion until she passed away when I was 20. It was a sad time when we buried her in the back yard with much ceremony and respect. We also had my brother's German Shepherd ‘Dick’, who I loved very much and would give me wonderful hugs whenever I felt down. In later years I have had two brother terriers, called Scruffy and Rusty, and two cats from kittens named Ellabella and Pablo Picasso. I love being with animals, so caring for other people's pets is always a treat. My work as a counsellor is both demanding and very rewarding. I take great delight in helping people during challenging circumstances. My personal life style is fairly quiet. I enjoy art, reading, and biking. I am tidy, conscientious, and kind-hearted. I can be relied on to attend to pet needs and practical household tasks. I have successfully sat a number of homes and pets and always enjoy the experience. If you think I may be able to help in your situation then please contact me to discuss further. Kind regards Paul

We love animals and since our beloved family cat Casey passed away last year we feel privileged and fulfilled by spending quality time with so many amazing pets from some of New Zealand’s most unique places though Housesitting. I (Zlata) am currently completing New Zealand Certificate in Animal Care (Companion Animal) which covers all aspects of animal care including health, hygiene, behaviour, and handling. I’ve gained the applied knowledge and skills to care for a wide range of companion animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, reptiles, and birds, in a variety of settings including your home, pet shops, kennels, animal shelters and catteries. As part of my course requirement I’ve completed over 40 hours practical experience at Tauranga SPCA learning the best practices in the most rewarding yet challenging of environments, which has prepared me well to care for your precious companions while you are away. My partner Clinton and myself are committed to providing the best care and attention for your family pet while you are away, so you don’t need to feel any anxiety or stress about leaving. We treat animals as our own and pride ourselves on making it easier for you and your beloved pet(s) during your time away. We are in a very unique position to be able to live and work from remote places thanks to our internet business www.Interlike.app. Clinton’s daughter spent last year in Spain after finishing high school in Auckland where we rented the same house on Jervois Road in Herne Bay for the past 12 years, she is now about to start University in Wellington this year so we are ‘free birds’ so to speak while saving for our first home. We enjoy flexible work hours and can adapt to any new routine quickly and easily including caring for any special animal requirements. Clinton's background is in commercial film and photography, so if you enjoy being updated with cute videos and photos of your pet enjoying their daily routines then you are in for a real treat. We go out of our way to make sure animals are happy so capturing and sharing these special moments with you while you’re away is our heartfelt pleasure. We are truly grateful for all the pets we have cared for and the families we have helped thanks to Housesitting. Now we are both looking forward to hearing from you and learning how we can make a difference for your fur baby(s) too! Zlata & Clinton

Hello to home owners and animal lovers..... If you have a home to be looked after and animals to be cared for, then look no further. My name Is Hinehau, I am a quiet and peaceful, warm natured person, who enjoys walks, healthy eating and peaceful surroundings. I am a caring house minder, who is clean, organised, reliable, and a friendly person who takes seriously the care and protection of folk's homes and pets. So if I can assist you in anyway to walk your dog, stroke your cat and feed them on time and keep your house spic and span then send me a message and I hope I will be free to help you.

I am an independent and responsible single person that would be the perfect candidate to mind your home, pets and garden in your absence. I am a non smoker. I work from home as a Medical Transcriptor and therefore I am able to travel outside of the Wellington area and I am happy to take inquiries from anywhere in New Zealand. I am extremely experienced at caring for peoples homes and pets and have had previous positions house minding both short and long term.

Maggie Kathryn - Hamurana SIT DATE: Oct 2018 Maggie did a wonderful job looking after our home and many animals. This included a dog, cats, guinea pigs, rabbit, goldfish, chickens, goats, sheep, a duck and ducklings, as well as watering the greenhouse and other plants. This was our first time having a house sitter. The dog obviously had a great time with Maggie during the week we were away. We would definitely recommend Maggie

Hi, I'm Angela. I have an executive background but prefer to live the quiet-life of an author in between research tours and workshops. I'm a gentle and kind soul whose C.V. looks oddly like someone ticking off their bucket list. I am blessed with the flexibility of working full time from home. I have traveled extensively, yet have so much more of New Zealand to see before I do the whole "Under The Tuscan Sun" move to Italy thing. (That's a movie if you're wondering). I have a clean drivers license, am a non-smoker, adore 99% of animals, (worm farms make up the 1%). I have house sat 8-million dollar mansions with extensive grounds, pools and help-pads to lifestyle blocks, manors, historical cottages and rustic batches. I grew up on a farm in the Waikato and a kiwifruit orchard in the Bay of Plenty, so I am used to a large range of animals including goats, bunnies, chickens, cats, birds and dogs, cows, horses, even possums. I've always wanted to own alpacas. I work too hard to party, used to own a commercial/carpet cleaning company (so your house is in good hands), worked at a nursery (so your pot plants are safe), and have a wonderful ability to communicate with animals of all species. Mainly because I treat each precious animal as my own. House sitting is the perfect way to find some peace and quiet to ponder and plot my next novel and add variety to my life other than work. It's time to get out of my writing cave and hug some cute fluffy things, so if you want your home appreciated and treated like a palace and your precious babies loved, happy and healthy, let's connect.

Hi I'm Mel. I'm a 48 year old female who freelances as a designer and works both locally and from home. I enjoy helping people and I know it's easier to feel comfortable while you're away if someone is caring for your home and beloved pets. House and pet sitting also helps me out as I'm saving to buy a home of my own. I'm kind and friendly, very clean, tidy and house proud. I grew up around all kinds of animals and have had cats and dogs as an adult. Since flatting, I haven't been able to have my own pets but am lucky enough to be a pet Aunty to my friend's and family's animals. I'm careful and respectful, and would take good care of all property and animals in my care. I have the energy to run and play with pets and make sure they are loved when Mum and Dad are away. Thanks for considering me for your next house sit.

Dear home owner, My name is Damion and together with my wife Anna we are looking for house sitting opportunities in the Bay of Plenty area. We foresee house sitting as an opportunity that will steer us forward in the pursuit of purchasing our own home and property. Alongside this, we have a vision to own a property where children and young people can come for respite stay and to be given the opportunity to interact and play with animals as a measure of therapeutic interaction and enjoyment. I am an Avocado Contractor and Anna thoroughly enjoys working with children and their families as a Counsellor. Though we are far more then our careers, we are adventurer's who love social sports as we are members of a tennis and swimming club. From a young age we have loved and adored our pets and have enjoyed caring for pet pussy cats, puppy dogs, birds, fish, cows/calves, bunny's, sheep and lambs. Both Anna and I love animals of all kinds and one day hope to have our own furry family to love and care for. We have awesome friends and come from strong and supportive families. We are non-smokers and we do not drink alcohol, our day to day life consists of working hard throughout the week with a walk or something rewarding to let go of the day, fun day Saturday and church on Sunday. We take pride and care in all we do and we are very respectful of property. You can be assured that we will respect each and every home as if it were our own. Thank you so much for the opportunity of being considered as your house sitters. Our most kindest regards Anna and Damion Spencer

My children and I lived on a 10 acre block in Waimauku for several years and cared for a variety of animals including cats, dogs, hens, sheep, cows, and the occasional rabbit and duck! Because of Geoff's years spent at sea his opportunities to care for pets have been limited, but in his younger years his family owned cats, dogs and budgies. Geoff and I spend the summer months,October through to April, in New Zealand, which is when we are available for house sitting. We have a yacht berthed in Penang, Malaysia, and we are there during New Zealand's winter months. Geoff has spent nearly 13 years cruising in South East Asia, and I joined him in 2012. Geoff is a shipwright and is capable of servicing a wide range of appliances, machinery etc.He served in the New Zealand navy for 8 years and after leaving he worked as a commercial diver whilst building his first yacht. After sailing for many years in the Pacific, Australia, Africa and Europe, he settled in Brisbane, where he set up his shipwright business. He then built his second yacht and set sail for South East Asia. My previous working life involved a variety of positions, including working as a supervisor in a childcare centre in Waimauku, Auckland, and then as a sterile services technician at North Shore hospital in Auckland. I have two sons who live in the Netherlands and Belgium, and 1 grandson. Because of our lifestyle on the yacht we are organised and tidy in our habits. We enjoy exploring new environments, so house sitting promises to be a great way to meet new people, have some much-needed interaction with animals again, and reunite us with different parts of our country after being away for so many years. Although we are away from New Zealand at times, we are always able to participate in video calls via either Skype or What's App.

I really love dogs and cats, I've been raised with and have had dogs and cats throughout my life, my love for animals is the main reason I'm a housesitter. I'm a pensioner and part time work on line from home, after raising a family and a life time of running my own businesses in the food industry I now love living on my own stress free, all my children are grown up and raising their own children overseas, now I'm free to travel wherever I like in New Zealand and spending more time to explore and learning about different parts of NZ. I have driven New Zealand from top to bottom many times throughout my life. Also had a deer farm with horses and many different types of animals. Lived in Melbourne for many years and did a lot of housesitting. I've been a landlord and I have experienced many situations with tenants so I understand the importance of respecting other people's property, privacy and most important hygiene as I have been working in food industry since I was 14 years old, I'm not even a little bit noisy or interested into looking at people's privacy. I like to walk 5-10 kilometers two to three times per week, if I was looking after your dogs it would be a pleasure to have some company on my walks. I'm very fit and able to carry out most chores if needed, If you choose me to house sit for you, you can be assured your pets and property will be taken care of as if you were at home taking care of everything yourself.
