Description
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.

Thank you for taking a look over my profile :)

I spent 2 lovely weeks with Pippa and Brent.

The animals are so well looked after and happy. Pippa loves them with all her heart, and I believe they know that.

Animal care jobs included poop scooping, weeding, feeding, letting the chickens/wild pigs out and putting them away at night, and my favourite, tucking up Dot the pig in blankets come… read more

I felt really welcomed and comfortable living with Amanda, her lovely family, and two other workaways. Amanda was super relaxed about hours. She was out most days so depending on weather etc we decided which jobs to do that day, which I appreciated as I'm a wuss in the heat haha. They had a few rescue possoms and I was honoured to have one named… read more

Louise was such a lovely, welcoming, chilled host, with lots of interesting travel stories. She took me to Eumundi markets which was a really nice outing, and gave me lots of top tips on the area.

Ellie was such a treasure! I had almost given up on Workaways but Ellie restored my faith! Ellie is a super delightful, friendly, caring, interesting and helpful person. She brought a beautiful energy into my house, cooked me dinner, cleaned up after herself and after doing tasks, and respected the home and rules. Ellie has common sense and a… read more

I loved my stay with Ian and Tanya. I felt really comfortable and warmly welcomed into their family. Jobs varied but mainly consisted of weeding, painting, cleaning, cooking, and walking the dogs, which I was perfectly happy with. They live in a beautiful area, so during time off it was great to explore the coast and nearby lakes

Ellie was a pretty amazing workawayer. Always with a cheery smile, she cooked up delicious meals for us regularly and was a tremendous help with odd jobs and dog sitting. It was a real pleasure to have been able to host her.

Shane is a relaxed, open, friendly human, who I really enjoyed getting to know. The house is really beautiful and unusual, I stayed in a private room. It can be a bit hectic when his children are around, but that was all part of the fun. There was an endless supply of food, so I enjoyed cooking up exciting vegan meals.

The animals are all… read more

Robyn is a really lovely, chatty person. She very kindly took me in last minute. I enjoyed cooking tasty meals together! The work was very relaxed, I spent most my time happily weeding away in the garden. The guest room is lovely, with a view over the front garden. She recently got a second dog, together they can be a bit noisy and energetic, but… read more

I had such an amazing time with David and Janice. They're very kind and thoughtful, and made me feel very welcome.

James and Jani are lovely humans who are really passionate about asissting animals in need.

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

It was a real great experience to have Ellie with us at the Resort. During the unfortunate confinement, we had the luxury of having Ellie confined with us during the 3 months of the pandemic and that was the best thing that could have happened to us. She is very energetic, organized and independent and was able to perform at a high level with… read more

My time at the resort was full of interesting activities and life lessons. Due to the pandemic things were were slightly different to usual e.g. as there weren't any guests, we didn't need to do any housekeeping, but I was kept very busy mostly weeding/planting/maintaining the resorts multiple gardens.
