Hi I'm Andrew! I'm a home-owner, Creative Director and Designer from Wellington…
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 I'm Andrew! I'm a home-owner, Creative Director and Designer from Wellington. I have lived with animals all of my life, and as house proud person, I have a respect for keeping homes in a loveable state. I'm big into sports – football is my biggest passion. I've also started running over the past few years which I love doing in new places to explore different areas. I have always had cats around the house and love trying to work out each one's unique personality. My cat Winter is very picky with people and wants everything on his terms. But once he chooses to, he is super affectionate. I love that about animals – you can get to know their behaviours and personality if you are willing to put in the effort. I don't have a dog of my own but was very close with my previous in-law's dogs – particularly a golden border collie called Trix. I'm the type of person who loves to play with dogs and keep them entertained. I'll quite happily kick a ball or throw a disc with the pups for hours. And I love running / walking with them - put a podcast into my ears and I'm happy! I also have a lot of affection for the office dog Pootle - a miniature dachshund that I've now known for almost seven years. Ask me about the photos of this dog!! I'm looking forward to taking care of what is important to you – and also getting some quality time with some fur-babies. As a house sitter, I am looking for a location that I could use as a place to work in the evenings/weekends. I am also open to short / long term stints as I am currently living with family.

Hi our names are Maryna and Neil, We are close to retiring and feel it is our time to discover the rest of the South Island in New Zealand and while doing that, do what we enjoy and that is looking after peoples pets and a little gardening while we at it. We immigrated here 11 years ago and have been living in the Catlins ever since so love to explore . As we do not have animals of our own (not by choice) this will also give us a great opportunity to enjoy other people's pets while we are on breaks. We are reliable and trustworthy and are managing a holiday park in the Catlins. This is a 24/7 entity and being in hospitality means we know what is expected from cleanliness and client communication. Neil is a handyman and extremely keen garderner so finds himself very busy most of the time. We both are pet lovers and with previous housesitting experience in London, South Africa and in the Catlins, we have done a lot of dog walking, cuddling cats and even looked after pigs, horses and chickens. We both love fishing and used to take our doggies with us (back in South Africa) so they could have a good run around, and when given the chance they would steal some of our catch! It would be our privilege to help home owners out by looking after their homes and taking care of their pets ( with lots of love) putting their minds at ease. We love to update owners at any time as to how things are going back home. Please feel free to contact our referees and ask any further questions you may want answered.
