Hello, my name is Didi and I am a dog/cat owner since for 25 years. I also did a lot of dog fostering and dog/owner training. In the last 10 years I am an active Dogsitter at the TrustedHouseSitter website and I do have a lot of references. I am very passionate about animals, especially dogs. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat myself. Lilli, Jack Russell Girl is 14 years old, the other is a mixed bread who is 3 year old. I have a 15-year-old cat. 
I was self employed my whole life and my dogs were always by my side. Now I am young retired, I am 56 years old and my dogs and foster dogs are never alone. Pets are family and I'm looking forward to get to know your pets and look after them as if they are my own.

Hello, my name is Didi and I am a dog owner since 25 years. I also did a lot of dog fostering and dog/people training. In the last 10 years I am an active Dogsitter at the TrustedHouseSitter website and I do have a lot of references. I am very passionate about animals, especially dogs. I have two dogs myself one is 14 years the other is 3 year old and I do also have a 15-year-old cat. 
I was self employed my whole life and my dogs were always by my side. Now I am retired and my dogs and foster dogs are never alone. Pets are family and I'm looking forward to get to know your pets and look after them as if they are my own.  

Hi, I'm Stef and I'm happy to help out by spending some quality time with your furry besties.
As a pet owner myself, I understand the stress of having to find someone to look after them when you make plans to go away, or just when life gets a bit busy; so I'm available to provide them care, companionship, exercise and stimulation when you need that extra hand.
I have experience with my own pets (I've previously had 3 family dogs and currently have a cat), and I volunteer for the SPCA from time to time, including fostering dogs.
I am available for dog walks and daytime house visits, and will be happy to send you photos and updates during each visit so you can rest assured that your little family member is being well looked after.
Feel free to ask any questions - I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, my name is Lisa and I arrived 2019 in New Zealand and call the Tasman area my home for a few years now - it’s just such a beautiful area.

I’m 31 years old and originally from Germany, where I grew up with cats and rabbits in my 20ies.

The last 3 years I owned pet rats and currently I have a high energetic 2 year old Labrador and 1 year old Huntaway cross.

I worked on diary farms in Australia in the past and also volunteered at a horse sanctuary in Canada.

Besides petsitting I do casual support work, but I can choose the time and hours when to work, so am quite flexible.

As someone who has has/had pets my whole life I understand how they are part of your family and I always make sure they are as happy and comfortable as they can be while their family is away :) I can ensure you, I will love them as their would be my own. I am able to look after dogs, cats or small animals.

———————

I offer:

Dog walking 

Pet visits - to check in &amp; spend time with your pet 
(provide lots of love &amp; cuddles, make sure pets have plenty of fresh water, feed your pets - you leave the food &amp; I follow your instructions, administer any medication to pets, clean litter trays if you have a cat, collect the mail and any papers and put out/bring in the rubbish/recycling, water any needy plants)

Dog boarding (before arranging any boarding, a meet-and-greet will be necessary to ensure compatibility between your dog(s) and mine) - Please supply your dogs regular food, as a quick change of diet can be upsetting a dogs stomach.

Having dogs over for doggy play dates (meet-and-greet will be necessary)

House sitting (only for a short period of time due to having my own 2 dogs)
———————

My values:

Regardless of the weather, my partner and me take our dogs at least 2 times a day out for outings to like Rough Island, Maitai Valley, Richmond Hill walks, Wakefield walks, the beach etc. and let them run off-leash in a safe environment so that they can enjoy: exploring, socialising, swimming…
If your dog stay with us, we will happily take him/her with us to our adventures!

Im a believer of positive reinforcement when training, and I always have a bag of treats with me for every walk to keep the training going.

Moreover having two intelligent and active dogs, I know how important it is to stimulate them mentally - we have puzzles and other brain games at home. Also doing scent seeking exercises I’ve learnt through course’s.

We have friends over who often bring their dogs (all different kind of sizes and breeds and personalities) so I’m confident to look after various kind of dogs (anxious, reactive etc. included).

I am happy to send daily photos and updates of my time spent with your pet.&nbsp;

Pease feel free to message me with any questions you have or to discuss a booking.

I look forward to have a meet-and-greet to get to know you and your pet :)




















I have always been passionate about dogs and animals in general, and my love and respect for them motivate me to offer pet-sitting services. Growing up, pets like dogs and cats surrounded me, and that has given me an understanding of their individual needs and unique personalities, which is essential for providing quality care.
I have gained experience as a dog sitter and have worked with various animals, including playful pups, mature veterans, and more. These experiences taught me how to provide attentive care, ensuring each pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away.
My commitment to providing quality care is unwavering, and I offer a range of services tailored to meet the individual needs of each pet and its owner. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I strive to create a personalised experience that exceeds expectations and ensures the happiness and well-being of every pet I look after.
I'm excited to continue building meaningful connections with pets and their owners in my community, and I look forward to providing top-notch pet-sitting services to those who need them.


I love dogs and enjoy playing with them. I live in town. My landlords allow pets and i would be able to watxh them from my house. I can walk them anywhere from 30 minutes to half day walks depending on the day. If they are shorter walks I can do 2 walks a day and if they are longer, one walk a day. I grew up with 3 german shepards and have been craving dog love for awhile now.&nbsp; I am originally from Papua New Guinea. I have done this a handful of times with my partner. I have been living in NZ for 10 years now.&nbsp; I am an all rounder at the restore cafe and it would be good for me to get out. My partner works from home and would be able to help watch them while i am cooking up a storm. When I am&nbsp; with the dog we will not leave it alone. I can supervise pets the whole time I am with them other than my work hours.&nbsp; It was always so lovely having a dog to hang out with. I would be bringing them to parks or the river. Dogs to me are non judgemental people and you can be your true authentic self around them. I can range from a chill day at home cuddling to going on runs/hikes to just going to the beach and playing fetch and swimming. Dogs help me get out and I help them get out. I have looked old dogs to 3 month old puppies where we play and nap.&nbsp; Happy to do anything. I understand that they are your babies and I will do everything in my power to keep them safe and healthy.&nbsp; Thank you!

Dog Sitting, Nelson
