Hi everyone, if you are looking for a pet or house sitter over the next wee while, myself (Lyss) and my partner (Corinna) are available from October 17th. We are experienced house and pet-sitters and would be delighted to look after your fur children and home while you are away!

Some reasons we might be a good fit:
• flexible work and study arrangements, so we can be home when needed for your pets (most of the time at least one of us can be home). Corinna is a lecturer at Victoria University and I am studying by distance.
• experienced dog and cat owners, and able to care for a wide range of pets
• two sets of hands
• we don't charge to sit
• responsible, reliable, tidy and clean - we are sitting while saving for a house deposit, so will care for your home as if it was our own.
Up
Longer sits preferred, but we will happily consider all! Please get in touch if you think we would suit your needs. References available too :)

After 50 years without a sighting, the rare and quirky sailback houndshark has finally been spotted again in Papua New Guinea!

Because it’s been seen so rarely, scientists still know very little about it. But its striking features are already sparking debate about whether it should be given special protection, and some have even argued it could become an icon species for Papua New Guinea.

At a time when we so often hear about species disappearing, the return of this little shark is a reminder that nature can surprise us ... and that there’s always reason to hope.

You can read more about the sailback shark here

We hope this brings a smile!
