Hi, I'm Ellie!
I'm from the UK but I'm always on the move. I arrived in NZ in May, and have been working a ski season, but can't wait to start road tripping again!
Myself and my best friend (we met at a workaway in Canada) are looking to house/pet sit over Christmas, and New Year. It needs to be in the North Island but we do not mind where, and dates are very flexible. Send me a message if you're away over these time periods and need some experienced sitters!
I lived in Canada for 3 years, which is where I discovered workaway. I experienced a wide range of tasks, involving carpentry, gardening, animal care, painting etc. I enjoy the diversity of jobs workaway presents to me.
I love workaway for many reasons, but in particular due to the amazing humans I've met from it. Learning about people and their backgrounds is really interesting. It has given me a new perspective on life, and opened my eyes to options outside the standard 9-5 way of living. I feel like I've learnt many important life lessons from each and every workaway so far.
I am happiest when surrounded by animals, be it at a rescue centre, seeing wild animals in their natural habitat, at a sanctuary, or a home with pets. So being around animals would be a bonus!
I’m active, reliable, hard working, energetic, love learning new skills as well as improving what I already know, and trustworthy. Some of my hobbies include: hiking, dog sitting and walking, longboarding, canoeing, visiting art galleries, snowboarding, yoga, being creative with food, and sketching.
I'm a long term vegan, so staying at a workaway that can accommodate, or allows me to cook for myself, or is willing to try vegan food, would be ideal.

The work required was absolutely fine, mostly consisting of walking dogs, giving them cuddles, chopping wood, cleaning kennels/crates etc when animals leave, and a few odd jobs. E.g. I had to clean up a burnt down sauna in the forest, which was an fun one… read more
