Join us for a guided tour with a difference! Discover the unexpected and intriguing stories behind the bags on display in our featured exhibition Carried Away: Bags Unpacked.

The bags themselves are a visual feast, but we've dug deeper and fallen down rabbit-holes to bring you the bigger picture of the life and times of these popular accessories. We guarantee that the De-tour stories start with bags, but who knows where we may end up?

De-tours are thirsty work and so they will conclude with a Devonshire tea at our 1929 cafe.

Saturday and Sunday afternoons, 10 - 11 and 17 - 18 August. Bookings essential.

I am a mature woman, mother of three adult children and have nine fabulous grandchildren. I am a Life Coach, meditation teacher and facilitate personal growth workshops for mature women and our youth of Aotearoa.

I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to enjoy house & cat sitting for others while they are travelling and need someone who is home for most of the day and night. I grew up with animals as a child and had cats while raising my children. My services allow cats to stay in their home which causes less stress to the pets as well as their owners. I am reliable, loving and can provide your cat with a safe loving environment while you are away.

Currently I offer my cat sitting services in Central, East and South Auckland Regions. Please don't hesitate to PM me if you have any questions.

Here are a few references from previous house/pet sits from clients:

"We recently had the pleasure of having Dee house & dog sit for us. Dee was amazing, she looked after our dog as though it was her own, taking him for lots of walks and sending us updates of their adventures.

We were able to relax on holiday knowing Sparky was in capable & loving hands and the house was with someone we could trust. We came back home to a happy dog, super tidy house and home baking! We highly recommend Dee.
Thank you so much Dee!" Jackie

********************************************
"I was fortunate enough to meet Dee Petit at the end of last year and have her house sit for us over the Christmas & New Year period. She cared for our cat and home beautifully and we just loved arriving home to a clean, fresh house full of flowers. Our cat was well loved and it was just so nice having the house lived in while we were away. Dee left her special touch while here and it was lovely to come home to. Thank you Dee," Johanna
