Experienced home makers, pet owners and farmers
About
Elyse grew up in Queenstown and Ross in Canterbury. We have recently moved back to Christchurch after four enjoyable years in Queenstown. We have two adult daughters, the eldest in Christchurch and the other in Dunedin. We would love to look after your home or farm to give you the opportunity to travel – take a sabatical.
Elyse manages the Habitat for humanity Op Shop and Ross is a semi retired farmer and park manager, now working as a mediator. We have lived all over New Zealand setting up homes and creating gardens. We love and are experienced in looking after various pets and livestock and have skills in gardening and building. We are very house proud and particular, and would extend this care to your home or farm.
