Wanted: House sitter extraordinaire

Yuri from Wadestown

I'm away from mid-March to mid-April and need a special person to look after my home and two little dogs. The dogs are well-behaved, healthy, and need two walks a day. Looking for someone who has experience with dogs, works from home or is home most of the time, can drive, and is reasonably fit, because the house is 90 steps up from the street. It's a sunny one-bedroom near Otari-Wilton Bush with a heat pump and bottomless cup fibre broadband. The garden is small, but on three levels, and there is always weeding and watering to do! Ideally you can be flexible about the finish date in case of travel disruptions. If this appeals to you or someone you know, please PM me. (Note: This is a free house sit, not a paid position).

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
