Having a house sitter helps prevent burglaries while you travel
With domestic burglaries up in recent years around NZ, having a responsible live-in house sitter while you're away is a strong deterrent to burglars, who are expert at spotting empty houses as they case the neighbourhood streets.
Contact us at www.homesit.co.nz... if you're looking for peace of mind while you're away this Easter or over months ahead - our sitters are pre-checked and interviewed and all have pet-care experience, multiple references and police clearances.
With a sitter living-in, mail is collected, lights are on at night and curtains opened/closed - life's seen to be going on as normal at your place while you need to be away - no giveaway signs that people are absent and your home's an easy target.
New clients - take advantage of our special one-day-off offer for your first booking (over one week's duration) in Wellington - contact teri@homesit.co.nz to discuss.
