We are off to our daughter's wedding in Vegas and need housesitters to care for our home, dog and bird while we are away. Our home is an easy-care townhouse in West Auckland, handy to the Waitakere bush, beaches and a 20 min drive to the central city. Nice sunny outdoor area with small lawn and vegetable garden. Hera, a five year old black lab is very friendly and loves company. She is an outside dog and sleeps in her kennel so you won't need to share your bed! She needs a daily walk and we would like a sitter who will be home for a good part of the day to keep her company. Prettybird is an elderly low maintenance cockatiel who loves to talk & whistle. If this sounds like a good place to spend part of your summer, please contact us. We are happy for you to stay a day or two either side of our dates if this helps with your planning.
