ATTENTION HAMILTON HOMEOWNERS
Would you like an adventure in Rotorua for about 6 mths from Aug or Sept 2009 until about March 2010? (flexible) Spring/Summer..good way to have a change or a holiday.
I'm a house proud female artist hoping to exchange my large 2 bedroom renovated cottage with someone from Hamilton.
Im 10mins walk to a beautiful lake, close to the Redwood forest for walks and 10mins drive to our beautiful City.
Im just a hop and skip away from the bus stop, free if you're on Super.
Lots to do and see here in Rotorua..museum, art galleries, lots yummy restaurants..good shopping...fishing...bushwalks...and heaps more
I'm more than happy to care for your garden/pets etc. I'm willing to exchange with one or two similar people.
I would also consider home/pet sitting if I cant exchange.
Great references. Ive been a home owner for 40 years.
Will send photos if interested and/or happy to come and have a chat about the possiblity.

I've been house-sitting for years and have always enjoyed each commission. I always take my own bed linen, toiletries and food and make sure the places is as clean as, if not cleaner than, when I walked in. Quite often the kitchen or bathroom is a mess when I arrive, so they get a good clean for their money :-)
The only time I lose out is when the person decides they won't pay me after all, not much you can do about that 
I have excellent references if anyone's interested in employing me: largelyhappy@hotmail.com

Hi everyone!
Does anyone need, or know of anyone that might need a responsible couple to house sit their home in the Kerikeri area 8 June to 26 June 2011.
John is due to retire this year, have sold our wee home and we are renting here in Taupo for the moment. We wish to explore the Kerikeri area as a possible place to relocate and settle later this year. You will find us fit and healthy,with a love for pets and gardening, very house proud, trustworthy, sensitive and reliable. John is also a fabulous 'handyman'. We would prefer to use our linen etc and will be willing to provide further information on contact.
Thank you for your time .....we look forward to hearing from you.

Looking for a reliable and cat-loving person who could spend a month in Christchurch from mid May to mid June. approx. Free accommodation in exchange for cat-care.

Hi Natalie,
Thanks for your comment. Although we actually now have jobs in Masterton so we would be unable to come to Christchurch. I will still check out your website for future reference.
