Amy

Hey, I'm Amy! I'm 30 years old and live in Taupo. I currently work as Content Creator for the Taupo District Council. I have been around, loved and cared for animals all my life.  

Currently, I have two little absolute darling cats, one giant fuzzball who is knocking on 12 in February 2023 and last year I rescued a feral kitten from Wairakei. They are wicked cool cats, even if the little one can be a handful at times!  

I am keen to get into house-sitting, specifically for cats because I know how hard it is to book holidays and weekends away when you have animals at home to look after. I also know it makes for a better experience for
our kitty-cats to stay home where they are in a safe and familiar space. I much prefer a cat-sitter myself to sending them to the cattery! But my prime motivation is, I just love cats.  

I am confident in giving medications to pets by pill form but have no experience with injections. 

I have a lot of experience looking after friends' cats around Taupo over the last year. I have just signed up to Pawshake so, unfortunately, don't have any reviews on here (13 Jan 2023). I have permanent keys on my keyring specifically for these cats. 

At the moment I am only available for up to twice a day home check in's :) during those house check in's I will spend quality time with your fur-babies making sure they are happy and healthy, fed and watered (of course),
but I would be also be happy to bring in mail, pop out bins, water plants, pull curtains, open curtains etc. I will also send you photo updates if you would like!!  

Here is a review from current pet-sitting client:  

“Amy has been petsitting for us for around a year, she has been trustworthy and always provides updates and photos of our cats. She gives them plenty of personal attention as well as feeding and generally checking that our house is secure. Highly recommended” - Emma, Taupo

“Two of the most valuable things to me are my cat and my house and it gives me great peace of mind when I am away knowing that Amy is taking care of both. My cat is a spoilt needy brat and Amy is more than happy
to cater to his demands. The daily video and photo updates make my day. A number of times upon my return he has waited by the door in the morning hoping Amy is coming. I trust Amy 100%. She has her own key to my house and is the emergency contact on my cats microchip.” – Lauren, Taupo
