I'll be coming to New Zealand for 3 months (I'm so excited !) on a work visa. I've been living in Canada for the past 12 months, mainly working in spas. For the last month I've wwoofed at an urban farm near Victoria. It's been great, especially as I have 2 dogs to walk, horses and chickens to feed and a cat to play with. I'm pretty good with plants (-I've been hired to work full time to manage the farm, so will head back in the spring) http://www.mindmyhouse.com/owners/sitter_search/view_sitter_ad.php?id=615 I am 62, was working as an educational consultant and now retired. I am prepared to travel anywhere in the world to housesit for homeowners. I am a mother of 3 and a grandmother of 2. Am prepared to mind pets and keep your house clean and tidy. I am booked up for house sitting until the end of April 2009 and then will be available. I have travelled to the UK and Europe, Asia and New Zealand. I grew up in NZ on a farm and I currently am divorced and live on the NSW North Coast in Australia http://www.mindmyhouse.com/owners/sitter_search/view_sitter_ad.php?id=4372 Hello! We are an active, non-smoking, non-drinking, and responsible professional couple currently living on the west coast of Canada. I (Tamara) am a family counsellor and marketing consultant and my husband Alexander is an online business owner. I am also a British citizen. We would eventually like to secure a housesit in the southern part of England, or as far north as the Midlands area, for at least one month.  We would also be interested in starting our trip eastward with a housesit in Ontario, Quebec, or Nova Scotia, to experience more sides of our beautiful country and get out into the snow.  We would like to do start near the middle of January or sometime in February. Depending on the location, we would then be open to creating an ongoing relationship where we could look after your house for other shorter stints if you needed someone. Our only requirement is that high speed internet must be available, in order for us to do our work part-time.  We have our own computers. http://www.mindmyhouse.com/owners/sitter_search/view_sitter_ad.php?id=3989 Non-smoking, non-drinking, no-drug, Holy Spirit-filled middle-aged female Christian, unpublished writer.  An Alabama farm girl who's also lived in the city.  I've raised my five children, taken care of sick and elderly for many years.  Just house sitting without taking care of people is a new adventure for me.  I am allergic to cigarette smoke, perfumes, aerosole sprays. I don't have a problem with tending to farm or outside animals or smaller inside animals such as guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, birds, lizards and fish.  (When you've raised a houseful of kids, you have had them all.)  Don't want to tend to snakes or spiders.  PLEASE! Would like to stay at a house that is furnished with a piano/keyboard since I am also composing songs/music.    Also a house with telephone and internet service would be great.  2-3 months minimum job assignment http://www.mindmyhouse.com/owners/sitter_search/view_sitter_ad.php?id=4379 We are a recently retired British couple who would like to remain active.  We love to travel, particularly to warmer climates and have always been animal lovers.  It is in our nature to live our lives in a clean and tidy surrounding  - also non-smokers. http://www.mindmyhouse.com/owners/sitter_search/view_sitter_ad.php?id=4305   Hello,We genuinely love all animals and meeting wonderful animals we would never have had the chance to spend time with is a large part of the joy in house-sitting.
