    Dog and house sitter needed from 4th April till 11th April (has to be those dates) or you can come on the 3rd


    Puppy sitting in our house needed while we are in Australia for the week. (must have good reviews) We live in Mangere Bridge, Auckland – known as “the country in the city.” Our place is just 10 minutes from the airport and 20-ish minutes to the city. Right across the road from us is a Farm, where you can wander among the animals for free and just down the path is Kiwi Esplanade, perfect for walking, biking (we’ve got bikes you can use) Mangere Mountain is right on our doorstep too – an easy climb up for panoramic views of the harbor. We have a nice big covered deck where you can relax and read a book.

    Our main requirement is that our dog gets the best care and play as possible and maybe some light housework (we can discuss all that later)

    Please see attached photos of our little Cavoodle and our house.

    Look forward to hearing from you.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I’m Australian, my husband’s a Kiwi, Weekends usually mean a cheeky glass of wine, catching up with friends, or getting outdoors. We’re big fans of nature — rainforest walks, beaches — and when the sun’s out and it’s a calm day you’ll often find us on the boat with the kids, water skiing, fishing, or just cruising. We also love eating out, discovering new spots, and enjoying a bit of live music. We also enjoy just a chill day at home.
    We’re happy to pick you up from the airport and drop you back when it’s time to go if it works out with the timings.
