Kia ora, I'm a passionate animal lover and particularly love going for big walkies and wouldn't mind some new company!
I have a big dog myself who's incredibly good with all kinds of other dogs. We both love a good long hike to wear out that high energy, followed by some cuddles (or more play if the walk wasn't enough!).
I often look after my friends dogs at my house in Petone, Lower Hutt, or at their own places around Wellington. I love getting to know other dogs of all shapes and sizes.
My dog was rather chaotic as a puppy so I've put a lot of hours into training and attending years worth of obedience classes where Ive learnt a lot that can be applied to anyones pooch. I've earned
I have my own home and car and can work from the office or anywhere with internet access. I'm really flexible and am happy to work with whatever suits you best.

Dog walking

Offering walks from anywhere from a 30min street walk or wonder along Petone beach to 1/1.5hrs up in the hills. There's lots of great tracks up in the Belmont hills or Wainui hills that we love to explore. I often take my own dog around 4pm workdays or 9-10am weekends, but can be flexible. I only accept walking one dog (plus my own) at a time to ensure they're getting the attention they need.

Pet sitting

Offering pet sitting either in my own home or your own. My goal is to give your pet all the love and attention they deserve. I understand that every pet is unique, with different levels of energy and obediance. I'm more than happy to change my style of care depending on your prefernces.

If you'd like them to stay at mine I will work from home and ensure they're well looked after. We have a good sized backyard (I swear we have grass now) and flexible options for your dogs stay depending on your preferences. We have our own dog too who's really good with every type of pet we've come across. We go for at least one big walk a day, but again are very flexible depending on your dogs needs. I won't accept any other pets while yours is in my care so they'll have my full attention.

If you'd like me to stay at yours I have flexible working so happy to stay at yours or leave for an agreed period during the day if you'd prefer.

My own pooch was sick many years ago so comforatble to administer medication and keeping an eye on side effects

If you're after something specific that I haven't covered, please get in touch. Im pretty eager to help in just whatever way I can.
