Max and I have had animals all our lives. Originally of Swiss origin, Max grew up on a dairy farm in the Waikato. I grew up in the Bay of Plenty and had horses and a dog. Once married, we moved back to Geneva, Switzerland. We now have a cat, as well as two adult sons. Max is a photographer and I am an academic and writer. I write mainly about New Zealand literature.
Why we want to house sit
We come to Wellington regularly for our work, but this time our accommodation arrangements have fallen through. Max is supervising the placing of his photos in the Turnbull Library and organising three confirmed exhibitions of his work. He is also publishing a book of his photos with Victoria University Press. I am researching the work of Witi Ihimaera. We have been friends for years and he has asked me to write his literary biography. So I am working in the Beaglehole Room at the Victoria University Library.
Our experience
We have from time to time looked after the houses and pets of other people, in general our friends. The last time was in Breakers Bay, where we looked after a cat. And we looked after another cat last Christmas at Macandrew Bay, in Dunedin.
