I am a 57yr old self employed artist and painter/decorator.I have my own home in New Zealand which is being taken care of by my grown son while I am housesitting. I am a nonsmoker and enjoy the quiet life and get real pleasure out of pottering about in the garden or working at creative projects.

There have always been pets in my life and as a family we have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish and even possums!

I can take care of your home and garden to a high standard and will make your pets feel well loved so they don't miss you too much while you are away from them. All of the people that have entrusted me with their pets and homes are willing to be referees for me and I have written character references also.

The main thing I can offer you is real peace of mind so you can enjoy your holidays away from home!

I will be available at the end of July 2010 and can happily do long or short term housesits to suit your needs.

Thankyou for reading my profile and I wish you all the best for your future ventures.
