About cat sitting in Wellington

Wellington runs on policy and tech jobs, and bookings track parliamentary sitting weeks more than school holidays. Recurring midday walks are the bread and butter; house-sits spike when ministers and staffers travel back to their electorates.

The Town Belt, the Botanic Gardens, and the South Coast give walkers an unusually good set of off-lead options for a capital city.
