Picton
The scenery on the boat journey into Picton through Queen Charlotte Sound is breathtaking. The sandy bays, coves and forests will make you think you’ve entered the most beautiful place in the world. Picton offers a very warm welcome to its visitors, some of whom are in town ahead of starting the famous Queen Charlotte Track. Others will be in town to explore the stunning Marlborough Sounds, and the boating, fishing and diving options they offer. Keen to stay on dry land? Head to the Picton Community Museum to find whaling and maritime displays, or hang out in one of Picton’s cafes and eateries. You’ll find your favourite when you’re house sitting in Picton, but if you may just be passing through as you discover more of the beautiful scenery of the Marlborough region.

Hi, Kia Ora, Kia Orana, We are both retired professionals, well travelled and interested in seeing and experiencing new places. For the last 5 years, after my retirement from 38 years of teaching Chemistry and coaching Volleyball in Marlborough, we have rented out our house (which we've owned for 37 years) to vineyard workers from Vanuatu for the winter season from early May to Mid September. We've spent that time Circumnavigating Aussie 2013, South America 2014, South east Asia 2015. We did 2 months on our first house-sitting in Northland, travelled back to the Cook Islands for 2016. TWO more house sits in 2017, and vist to Vanuatu were followed by three more houses in 2108. and while still fit and healthy, we are looking for other adventure options 2019 and beyond.ar in We have raised two stunning and successful daughters, had numerous dogs and cats while the girls grew up ( but none now) , enjoy gardening, like long walks, and quiet nights in and travelling in our camper-van. We will take excellent care of any property as we do our own and will be dedicated to your treasured pets as required. On our last sit we thoroughly enjoyed the company of Gracie and Sam while their owners traveled around Europe. Communication via Skype, Facebook and Email, when necessary, meant a worry-free trip for them and our time in the garden and on house-keeping eased their transition home. 2017 we sat April - May in Tauranga and June - August in Coromandel before going to Vanuatu for a month. Had a "quickie" of 5 days in Dovedale with Zoe, pregnant Cindy and rabbit eating Clay early 2018. Survived NO Water supply, NO gas, and NO internet !! Pretty extreme for such a short period and VERY hot weather too. We have spend the winter around Nelson area in 2 different houses, so now looking for offers after August 25th.

Hi there, I first started house sitting 20 years ago and have enjoyed minding some beautiful homes in a variety of locations in NZ and Australia. I'm happy to provide references for my most recent sits, as listed. I'm a reliable, clean, tidy person with the utmost integrity and respect for your property. I have looked after with care; houseplants, grounds, dogs and cats. So your beloved pet will get plenty of attention, should they be in need of pet sitting. My work history includes pharmacy assistant, temping in administration and bar management. I have no children but two sisters with children and grandchildren whom I love to spoil. My interests include exercise in general, walking, pool, gym etc, maintaining a healthy lifestyle/diet. I love a nice chilled wine with good food, good company, cafes and movies. Quality time with friends and family are always a priority. I also enjoy the quiet life and enjoy my own company. Thanks for reading my profile and I hope to hear from you soon. Kind regards Pam

In our 50’s 2020 sees us starting our adventure travelling the South Island for a year or two. We live on a lifestyle block south of Auckland surrounded by alpacas, sheep, horses, pheasants, pukekos and rabbits. We have had an Old English sheepdog and a few cats, inherited chickens, pigs and a goat and are happy to look after any animals. Glenn is self employed with his work covering signage, property development and building maintenance. He quietly creates large scale sculptor and enjoys landscaping. Raewyn is a certified Mindfulness teacher, currently furthering her studies. She loves to cook and make candles. We read, we listen to music, we eat good whole food, we hike. We are extremely house proud and will respect your home as our own, leaving it in pristine condition. We will take care of your pets, have fun with them (send you snaps if you want) and bring your dog/s along on our hikes if you think that’s what they would like. Your home and your pet/s are in mature hands.

Recent retirement from my work and also being single has created the ability to housesit. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, drug-free lady with quiet habits. My father has been a dairy farmer all his long life so I have had a farming childhood and well as many adult holiday trips to the farm. I have had 2 pet cats of my own as well. House sitting experience - 17 completed house sits since May 2017. Cats, dogs and hens. Duration ranging from 3 days to 7 weeks. When I housesit for you, I will keep your pets fed as well as give them love and kindness. I appreciate cleanliness in a home so your house will be treated with respect. Your neighbours will be respected also.

Jenny and I have been motelliers for 20yrs. and have just sold our motel. We have been married 52 years and enjoy each others company and we feel that house and pet minding would enable us to see more of NZ . Also enabling us to have contact with animals that we have missed for years It was impossible to have pets while motelling . I am a mechanic by trade, farm manager &,stock agent before going motelling Jenny was a hairdresser and Hospital theatre assistant We are both keen gardeners We have run boarding kennels for the owner while she was overseas purchasing new blood for her Blue Heeler stud We did this several times when we lived in Gisborne and really enjoyed the variety of dogs and cats we were in charge of. Your property and pets/animals will be give the respect and love that they deserve to the very best of our abilities Regards Morrie and Jenny Springer

Hi there! My name is Geri. I am a kind, trustworthy, honest person and a good human being. I love being around animals. When I was a child we had a cat, guinea pigs, chickens and a budgie. Our chickens were free range. I always helped with looking after them and spending time with them. You can expect me to treat your home with respect. I have very good standards of cleanliness so your house will be clean and tidy upon your return. I am a mature, sensible person who takes responsibilities seriously. I would take care of your pets as if they were my own and give them lots of love and attention. I like to walk every day so if you have a dog I can take him/her with me on my walks. I am for the most part a Wellington girl but have spent approximately 11 yrs overseas when I was younger. I have a small Teleco related business that I have had for many years which I can operate this from anywhere in New Zealand as location is not an issue. This allows me to be mobile and travel. I have been house sitting for friends and stayed in a number of different types of houses and flats but would like to have my own place again in the near future. In the meantime I am enjoying travelling and staying at different places around New Zealand and meeting new people. I would love to meet you and your pets and hope that you will consider me as your housesitter. Yours sincerely Geri
