Hannah

My name is Hannah and I grew up on a farm in the Wairarapa surrounded by animals. We always had at least 4 dogs at once and the odd pet lamb who used to think it was a dog. A Wild kitten also adopted us and ended up joining the dog clan for 17 years.

My motivation for pet sitting is I love animals! My dream is to have some more space where I have many animals to share time with.

I have my own dog Rufus whom was my first foster puppy, since then I have fostered many more through Auckland Puppy Rescue. Rufus is super gentle, patient, gets on with all walks of life, happy to play or leave your doggo to its own space. Hes a real pleasure and is used to having many different dogs around. Generally I will have a max of 2more dogs onsite unless its an already established group of dogs that know each other so your dog wont be overwhelmed or over stimulated.

I regularly look after friends/family pets and know how important it is to have someone trusted to leave you furbabies with.  I hope I can be this person for your furbabies and treat them just like they would at home. 

Very open to house sitting in your own home so your family member can be in a familar environment or your furbaby is also welcome at mine. Rufus is very used to pets coming and going and quite often shares his bed with a new comer. Dogs have access to a fully fenced yard, plenty of beds, treats, 2 walks a day and the odd snuggle on the couch or bed with me.

Cats and Kittens give the best cuddles - house visits can easily be arranged for feeding and cuddles.

I'm a very active person, walking pets is a great start/end of the day for me and I find it the best way to wind down. 

Only doggos who are fully vaccinated can stay here.

Looking forward to hearing from you and your furbabies.
