Responsibilities

We are looking for someone who can care for Maisell the marvelous maine coon and look after our house. Maisel is as close as you can get to a dog while still remaining a cat, she is affectionate, plays fetch and loves company. She is primarily an inside cat and requires feeding morning and night. We are away from the 12/10/24 and will return home on 28/10/24.

The Hillcrest area of Hamilton was close to the beautiful Hamilton Gardens which are a MUST SEE, the Waikato River and local dog park where the dogs love a swim (especially Mac) and a fetch, and walking distance to a tasty cafe. Shops and the CBD are a short drive or a long walk for the ambitious. The family home has wonderful French doors in three different spots which allow the house to stay cool. I also enjoyed the ease of going in and out between the deck by the pool and the main house and the main house and the ensuite. There is plenty of space for sitting in the sun and enjoying a cup of coffee or cold beverage while listening to the birds above. As for the animals, I have a special spot in my heart for all of them. Daisy leaps in joy and excitement any time a walk or car ride is offered and if this doesn't make you smile from ear to ear, then you must have something wrong with you. Mac the lab LOVES a good belly rub and was the friendliest dog at the park and river. He is always okay off leash because he is so well-behaved. Daisy has a bit of little dog, "all bark, no bite" syndrome when it comes to other dogs, so she is best kept on her leash when out and about. As for people, she, like her brother, loves affection and a good pet. Stan the cat will meow at all times for food, but wouldn't you if that were your only job? Daisy also could give Stan a growl and chase every now and then, but Stan could take it. Waihi Beach is only about an hour and 20 minutes away and worth a day trip for the beautiful hike at the north end of the beach. Raglan Beach is also only 50 minutes away (the western coast) and a great spot for dogs who love a swim. I definitely recommend this house sit if you love friendly animals and want to be in a great spot to access many attractions.
