Kia ora

I have retired from full time work but still do a low level of consulting. This enables me to take more time to travel.

As an owner of a house I know what it takes to look after someone else’s home and garden and have owned several family pets over time. This includes cats, rabbits and dogs. All pets have been treated as members of the family with equal voting rights.

Being from New Zealand I have spent time in rural areas and I have experience managing farm animals. I have also looked after some very large animals such as tigers and elephants and I studied zoology at university (as well as economics).

In addition to English, I speak French and also a little Maori in case your pets prefer something a little different.

Over the years I have travelled extensively and so am used to blending in with different cultures. This has also meant I now have friends in several countries, particularly France and England. I am in good health and enjoy many sports and outdoor interests such as running, mountain-climbing and biking. I would describe myself as relaxed, with a sense of humour.

House-sitting appeals because it provides an opportunity to get to know people, and a specific place, more intimately. Several friendships with people in other countries have started through chance meetings and have endured over many years. Maybe this will be another one.
