About

Looking for a reliable house and pet sitter for a lovely art deco apartment on a quiet street in New Farm. The sit will include caring for a low energy 18 month old wolfhound X dog (30kgs), and watering pot plants in the spacious courtyard. We have multiple trips planned in 2024, so hoping for a repeat sitter (Feb/March, June, and August). Small apartment block of 5, with lovely neighbours!

Pets & farm animals

Joni is an 18 month old wolfhound X, who weighs approx 30 kgs. She needs 2 x walks a day (usually 45-60 minutes). Joni had surgery on her front legs at 8 months old, so generally moves pretty slowly, and should be discouraged from any over excited play, as such we don't allow her into dog parks. She is not on any medication. She is not allowed on any furniture, and is generally well behaved (although a bit sassy!). A confident and capable handler is required. Joni can be left alone up to 3-4 hours, but is used to someone working from home full time, so would prefer someone home more often than not. She sleeps happily in her crate overnight. <br />Joni usually goes to daycare in Hamilton once a week, so would be great to have a sitter with a dog friendly car for drop offs and pick ups.

House Tasks

Looking for a sitter who can water the pot plants in the courtyard and at front entry to apartment. All very low maintenance and easy access with hoses.
