Hey! I'm Paris and I'm looking for some side work to earn me some extra cash for the new year. I'm great with animals and I absolutely adore them! I have 2 little shitzu girls and a chunky tabby cat and they are my babies. I have around 2 years of experience looking after my friends and families pets plus 13 years of taking care of my own. I believe I would be a great person to have the privilege of looking after your fur babies :) I am a tidy, reliable, friendly girl and I'll always put your furry friends first when they are in my care. I especially love dogs that have a bit of energy cause it gives me some entertainment too! I am based In Palmerston North so would prefer to stick to anywhere in the city but I'd be more than happy to travel as far as longburn and ashurst. I look forward to meeting you and your little (or big) friends! For overnight stays with your pets I will be giving them food and water when needed, taking them on walks, playing with them, giving them some cuddles and attention so they don't get bored or lonely! And of course keeping them distracted from missing they're mum/dad! When walking depending on your comfort I like to take my dogs on car rides to walking areas such as parks, dog parks and the river track. But of course I'm more than happy to take them just on a walk around the neighbourhood blocks, in the city central and nearby dog friendly parks! I usually like to take them for about at least a 40 minute walk so they have plenty of exploring to do, with water breaks of course! So far I have experience with husky's, shitzus, and german shepherds but of course that's not going to stop me from meeting some new little friends!

Hi there! My name is Ashleigh, I’m 21 years old and originally from Hamilton. I’m currently a fourth-year veterinary student at Massey University in Palmerston North, based in the Summerhill area.
I’ve grown up on a dairy farm, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, sheep, chickens, and cows, which has given me a strong understanding of both the joys and responsibilities that come with pet ownership.
Pet sitting is a great way for me to support my studies while spending time doing something I genuinely love. I really value the bond formed with each animal and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.
What I offer:

  Dog walking:&nbsp;Usually 30–60 minutes per walk, but I’m happy to tailor this to suit your dog’s energy levels and needs.
  Home visits:&nbsp;Feeding, fresh water, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible.
  Updates:&nbsp;I provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel reassured while you’re away.
  Flexibility:&nbsp;With my university schedule, I can adapt to your pet’s routine and specific requirements.

Safety &amp; care:As a veterinary student, I’m confident in recognising signs of illness or distress. In the unlikely event of an emergency, I will contact you immediately and can take your pet to your preferred vet (or the nearest clinic if needed).
I also love being outdoors and going for walks, so I’d be more than happy to take your dog out for longer walks or adventures if that’s something they enjoy.
I’d love the opportunity to meet you and care for your furry family members, giving them the attention, companionship, and care they deserve while you’re away 

I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and the joy they bring into our lives. Pet sitting allows me to combine that passion with responsibility and care, ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to treating every animal as if they were my own — with patience, compassion, and plenty of affection. 
I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved in their own environment. I am willing to learn your pets routine and the needs required to make your pet feel in a friendly, fun environment.
I have recently moved over from the UK to New Zealand for a year with my partner as we look to explore the beauty's of nature. However having lived with animals majority of my life to being here with nothing is hard so would love this opportunity to be able to share my love for animals. 
I have experience  in looking after another persons animal and  I understand responsibility and what is required to look after an animals . I have owned a variety of animals such as;
Dogs 
Cats
Ferrets
Hamsters
Rabbits

A Little Bit About Me...
As a dedicated pet owner to my beloved golden retriever Charlie and pet sitter, my motivation stems from a profound love and respect for animals. Growing up surrounded by pets instilled in me a deep understanding of their needs and unique personalities. My passion for pet sitting is rooted in the joy of providing exceptional care, ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and content while their owners are away.
With several years of experience in pet care, I've honed my skills in catering to various breeds and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring special attention. Additionally, I've cared for cats, birds and rabbits, offering a comprehensive range of services tailored to each pet's specific requirements.
The well-being of every pet under my care is paramount. Therefore, I maintain a policy of only accepting vaccinated pets into my home. This precaution safeguards not only the health of the pets but also fosters a safe environment for all furry guests.
With a commitment to reliability, professionalism, and genuine affection for animals, I strive to provide pet owners with peace of mind knowing their beloved companions are in capable and caring hands.

About My Services:
I am available at all times as I am a distance university student who studies via online and so I am home all day on a regular basis and will hardly ever need to leave or have the the pet alone. 
Care of the pet will be my first priority and my daily routine will revolve around the dog's routine. When the pet is resting and chilling I will get my studying done, but the furbaby will always be under my supervision. 
My home is a warm loving environment. It is carpeted and the backyard is fully fenced with a safe and secured gate. I live with my parents, sibling and dog who are also animal lovers. My dog is extremely friendly and loves to be around other dogs. The guests will be allowed to sleep wherever they are comfortable to. Whether that's on a bed, couch, floor or crate.

I’ve always grown up surrounded by animals, and caring for them has become a natural and fulfilling part of my life. I currently have two dogs, a Greyhound and a Huntaway, who keep me active and constantly remind me how unique and loving each pet can be. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, from cats and dogs to farm animals. My experience includes home visits where I’ve fed, walked, and medicated dogs, as well as caring for cats while their owners are away. I’ve also stayed at properties to look after horses, a pig, lambs, a goat, and chickens. Whether it’s providing companionship, following feeding routines, or ensuring pets feel safe and loved, I take pride in offering attentive and compassionate care. Being a pet sitter allows me to combine my love for animals with helping families feel confident their pets are in good hands.

I am looking for more four legged pals to take on some walks 
I focus on walks, socialisation, and confidence building tailored to each dog’s needs. My goal is always to meet dogs where they are, provide them with patience and understanding, and ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care.
When Rudy my Pomsky came to me from a rescue situation, he was very timid. With patience, consistency, and love, Ive helped him rebuild his confidence, and today he is a happy, joyful dog.
I have been passionate about dogs and their well-being for years, starting with helping my friend raise puppies, guide their early training, and helping ensure they found the most suitable and loving homes. I have also been involved in rehoming adult dogs. Over the years, I have gained experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, from playful, confident pups to anxious or traumatised dogs.


Have you been coming home burnt out but your 4 legged companion still needs their exercise and attention? Are you planning a trip away without your fur babies? I would love the opportunity to help out! I would best describe myself as a highly organised and reliable pet sitter with a passion for animal care. I currently am 23 years old and work as a dental assistant. I have a fur baby of my own she is a tabby girl who is super friendly and gentle. I absolutely love caring for people and animals alike! I currently have experience with my own pets (I have grown up with dogs of various breeds and sizes) and pets of friends &amp; family and would love if you gave me the opportunity to keep your pet safe and active. I am passionate about cooking, baking, rollerskating and anything crafty or outdoorsy! Rates are not set as I am not quite sure of what to charge as of yet, can be available for the right hours with the ability to provide consistency where needed. I live in a town home with plenty of parks and off road walking areas. I love checking out new walks so if there's a preference as to where I walk your bestfriend please let me know! I have currently been walking a 9 year old Jack Russell every evening and we are loving it! My partner and I love to keep active and he would be happy to help out hands on with the care of your Bestfriend :)
