    Description

    Kia ora,

    We live in Lower Hutt, a great part of New Zealand for city and rural life.

    I am from London and my husband, Scott, is from Lower Hutt. We met in London 10 years ago and decided to move to New Zealand for ‘2 years’ in 2019. We have since decided to call NZ home - bought a house, got a dog and have two young daughters (2 year old and 2 month old!)

    Our dog Cuba has just turned 5 and is constantly being played with by our toddler. She loves company, needs one walk a day and will be a happy dog. She can be left for 5/6 hours on her own.

    We are looking for someone to housesit and look after Cuba from 21st Dec - 3rd Jan.
