We have a sunny, German-built, 2 bedroom home in the North East Valley of Dunedin. It is only a 15 minute walk to the University of Otago. It is also very close to the botanical gardens. North East Valley has a good community spirit, with an open singing choir meeting once a week and many other community activities (Zen meditation, yoga) to take part in.
Both myself and my partner work/study at the University of Otago. We are going back to Canada to visit my family from June 14th-Sept We have a lovely, sleepy cat (named Nekko) who simply needs to be fed once a day, and would benefit from having some human presence around so she won't feel abandoned. It would be a very simple housesit, for which we'd be very grateful.
