Self-Employed Professional & 2 sausage dogs
About
I am a 43 year old professional based in Oamaru on the South Island. I work for myself so I have flexibility to travel out of town with plenty of advance notice. At home, I have been working hard to establish a thriving, small ecovillage with others. I also study part-time at Te Wānanga o Raukawa learning the art of whakairo wood carving so regularly travel to the Kapiti Coast for my studies.
I love animals and am the proud mother of 2 miniature dachshunds. When I housesit, my preference would be to bring my dachshunds with me–they are well behaved and house-trained.
I have relevant experience to care for your home as a life-long pet owner, AirBnB host, manager of the Waitaki Community Gardens, permaculturalist, gardener, carpenter and dog-walker.
Please don’t hesitate to call me and talk if you want to know more. Happy to provide references.
