Hi there,

Over Labour Weekend we would like you to house sit for us and look after our animals that include 2 cats, chooks, ducks and a couple of super friendly sheep.
We live very close to stunning surf beaches, parks and in particular, enjoy nature and the great outdoors.
We are asking that you help out for 5 hours a day in return for a terrific Kiwi Experience, fun, food and accommodation.
