Description
Kia ora. My name is Emma and I am looking for a very responsible person or pair to house and dog sit my active 3 year old golden retriever. I need someone from the 17th December until 5th January. We live in Waiuku, a short walking distance to the local shops and 1 hour drive from central Auckland. Note - public transport to central Auckland is not easy nor quick. This opportunity would suit those that are happy to have a few quiet laid-back weeks in a nice house in a small NZ town with a very lovely family dog.

What else ...
Sandspit beach (Manukau harbour) is a 10 minute walk away, a lovely spot to visit and swim! Karioitahi beach is an 8 minute drive away (black sand West Coast beach). Waiuku township is less than 10 minutes walk alongside the Waiuku river. Awhitu Peninsula is also very beautiful. Auckland is a 1 hour drive and public transport is not very good (involves buses and train).
