My name is Nova and I am an 18 year old female, and I am looking for extra work during my university breaks. In my spare time I like to mountain bike, surf and explore the outdoors. I have a cat of my own, and previously had a beautiful cat until he was 16 years old (we ensured that both were vaccinated.) I used to have chickens and sheep, but since moving house, had to give them away. I love animals and would feel very privileged to be able to spend time with animals for a job. I am experienced in caring for animals and have professional experience caring for people with different kinds of disabilities. This has given me a range of different skills and abilities to assist me in caring for a person or animal. Although I have never owned a dog, I have taken dogs on walks and been around dogs my whole life. I think I would be a great suit to care for your pets! 

Hi! I’m Maeve, and I’m a huge animal lover with a dog and a cat of my own. Growing up around pets has made caring for animals a natural part of my everyday life, and it’s honestly something that brings me a lot of joy.
i'm available for dog sitting in your home and dog walking, and I've got a dog park very close by, which is perfect for regular exercise and playtime.
I've grown up around dogs and I'm confident with all sizes and personalities. I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away. I keep owners updated with photos so you know your pup is happy.

What I offer:
• In-home dog sitting
• Daily dog walking
• Lots of playtime (dog park nearby!)
• Feeding, cuddles, and routine care
• Respectful, tidy, trustworthy service

I have lots of previous experience with pet sitting, from looking after friends’ and family members’ dogs and cats to helping with feeding, walking, playtime, and basic care routines. I’m confident with pets of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m patient, reliable, and gentle. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and happy in their own environment, and I always aim to make them feel loved and relaxed.
I’d love to help care for your furry friends!

Hi! I’m a genuine animal lover who has grown up around pets/animals and understands how important it is to leave your animal with someone you truly trust. I’m calm, responsible, and very attentive to each pet’s individual needs. whether that means long walks, playing with them or just leaving them to nap and eat.

I will always aim to create a safe, relaxed, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away.

I have experience caring for dogs, cats (and fish), but am very capable of looking after other kinds as well. I’m active and enjoy spending time outdoors, which is great for dogs who need regular exercise, but I’m equally happy caring for more relaxed or older pets who prefer calm company.
I’d love the opportunity to look after your pet and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

Taking dogs on training runs alongside me for company is something I genuinely love.

I’ve always grown up with family dogs (retrievers, labs, and a few rescues) and I’ve also walked dogs for people in my local community. Through doggy daycares and helping out around my mum’s rally-o and obedience training, I’ve gained hands on experience working with energetic, well-trained dogs who thrive on both physical and mental stimulation. I’m confident handling strong pullers, high-energy breeds, and dogs who are still refining their lead manners.

Spending time in nature is one of my favourite things, and having a four-legged running buddy makes it even better. While I’m not currently race training, when I am my long runs can reach up to 12km, so I’m looking for a dog (or multiple dogs) that can comfortably handle that distance. On lighter weeks, I’m equally happy with relaxed 1–3km walks or shorter runs of up to 5km.

Kia ora!
I'm Lulu, a Taiwanese traveler currently on a working holiday in New Zealand, planning to go to Dunedin or Christchurch starting from Jan 10th.Back in Taiwan, I worked as an experienced veterinarian, so you can completely trust me to take care of your dogs and cats.

I absolutely love animals and get along very well with both dogs and cats. I'm also responsible and dedicated in everything I do.I fully respect how each person chooses to care for their pets, so if there’s anything specific you want me to pay attention to, I’ll be sure to follow your instructions.
After all, you are the one who knows your furry friend best.
If you're interested, I'm also happy to chat with you about pet health topics. Of course, since veterinary practices may differ between countries, your family vet’s advice should always come first.
I have my own car, so I’m flexible with locations—feel free to reach out and discuss what works best!

Moreover, I'm also familiar with rabbits, birds and hamster.
Can't wait to meet them!

I am a caring, reliable, and passionate animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from a lifelong love for animals and the strong connection I naturally build with them. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I treat every animal in my care with patience, kindness, and respect.
I have previous experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, and providing companionship. I am attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines, and I always aim to create a calm and stress-free environment. I take pride in being dependable and attentive, and my goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing loving, trustworthy care for their pets while they are away


Hi! 
I'm Liv, I am a student in Dunedin studying vet nursing. I have just completed my first year and while I am on break I am looking for some extra work doing something I enjoy and love! 
I have grown up with pets my whole life and have had plenty of experience dog walking my own dog and others as well. I am wanting to do this as it is something I enjoy and being around animals would be a great way to spend my time. I am confident with animals of any kind, making sure your pet in vaccinated is preferred!
I am confident caring for animals and have found plenty of fun walking spots throughout Dunedin and surrounding areas. 
Contact me via text or email if you would like someone experienced and willing to give the best care possible to take care of your pets or walk your dog! 

I have always loved being around animals, and dogs have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and even horses, so caring for animals has always felt very natural to me. Over the years I’ve owned several dogs, including a rescue dog, which gave me valuable experience in understanding different behaviours, personalities, and needs.
These days, I have a little sausage dog Rocky who enjoys his daily walks, and I’d love to share those walks with other dogs who need some exercise, company, and care while their owners are busy. I walk from home and have flexible time during school hours, which makes it easy for me to fit in regular, reliable walks.
I will care for your dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Walks with me and Rocky are all about fun, companionship, and lots of tail wags!&nbsp;


Kia Ora! I'm Chikita&nbsp;
Animals including pets have always been apart of my life with my family taking care sorts of animals around including dogs, cats and rabbits. We are the sort of family to rescure cats of the street and nuture birds until they were strong enough to fly away. Becuase of this I have always been confortable and happiest around animals partcularly dogs and cats.&nbsp;
I moved from Indoensia to NZ with I was just 13 years old which is when we adpoted my cat Bean which is the star of most of my pictures. Unfortunately, now we live seperatly because I flat and study, which also makes my schedule flexable. I am intrested in pet sitting and taking care of animals because this is something that been my normal. As a big softy, best believe that while your pets are in my care they will get nothing by love and attention.&nbsp;
Services I offer: 
Dog walking: I am comfortable at taking any size of pet on walk and I am happy to tailor my walks to whatever your pet needs/enjoys. Any toys required during walks will not be supplied  I charge $18.50 for a 30 minute walk.
House visits: I am able to come to your house to look after you pet, make sure they get the proper care need. I am happy to stay for up to an hour, giving your pet lots of attention or playtime aswell as feed them.
Thank you for reading my bio!
I look forward to hopefully meeting you and your pet, Chikita!


I will be available to do dog walking on most days, and I will do house sitting in the weekends&nbsp; or fridays(week days can be discussed). I have house sit for a dog before.I love animals but cats especially! My whole life, I have grown up and been with pet dogs, cats, and even a pet turtle too. I know how to behave with animals, and I'll be responsible with any lovely pet.I'm very fit, and I run daily. If you have an active pet that needs more rigorous exercise, then I can absolutely help with that!As a university student, I often find that my weekends are free, so I would be an ideal choice if you needed to leave for the weekend.I think being a pet sitter is cool because I get to meet new animals!As I live in a flat, I would be limited in house sitting for your pet—there are no pets allowed in my accommodation.I'm new to pet sitting specifically, but I have worked in hospitality before, so I possess a good work ethic, and I am dependable.
