    Description

    We live 30 mins by train or car from Wellington. We are looking for pet and house sitters from 23 June to 28th July. You will have the house to yourselves and would need to be around most of the time to look after the animals. If you have a car, you can take the dog to some places with you but he can not be left home alone for long periods. This would suit people who work from home or want to relax in beautiful surroundings for a month, doing nearby activities. The cats, chickens and guinea pigs also need feeding daily and cleaning once week. The house has stunning views, privacy, space, a large garden and heating/wifi.
