 I can't wait to meet your furry family member and give them a loving stay while you are away
I am a warm, trustworthy, and attentive petsitter who truly loves caring for animals. I grew up with horses, dogs, chickens and rabbits and have a passion for the outdoors. 
I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I take the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable and secure in my care. Whether it’s energetic walks, gentle playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply offering companionship and cuddles, I make sure your pet feels happy and relaxed while you’re away.

I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and respect. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to provide updates, photos, and reassurance so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands. 



Hi, I’m Paul, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for pets and house-sitting.
I grew up with dogs and cats, have had pets of my own, and for the past few years, I’ve been regularly pet-sitting for friends, colleagues, and clients. I currently have two cats, ChewBacca and Bacon, and I’m privileged to be seen as their personal butler.
Availability &amp; Services: 
I’m available for pet care mornings, afternoons, and most evenings - I am very flexible regarding time/day for house visits and sittings.
 Dog Walking – Walks are typically 30 minutes, but can be longer if required, depending on your dog’s energy levels. I enjoy beach walks, parks, and safe neighbourhood strolls. If your pup has a favourite route, I’m happy to follow their routine! I can take them to The Back Beach, Tahunanui Beach Dog Park, or The Grampians for a good hill climb, even Marsden Valley Dog Park—whatever suits them and their energy levels.
 Home Visits (Dog/Cat Feeding &amp; Check-ins) – Visits are around 30 minutes per trip and include feeding, fresh water, litter cleaning, playtime, and cuddles (if your cat is up for it!). I can also water plants, bring in the mail, and take out the bins.
 House Sitting – I can stay overnight and work from your home during the day (as long as there’s WiFi), ensuring your pets have company for most of the day and all evening. More companionship = less pet stress, especially in their familiar home environment. I also keep an eye on security, water plants, enjoy gardening and maintain a tidy home while you're away.
 Additional Care – I have experience administering oral medication to both dogs and cats. If your pet needs extra care, just let me know.
I’ve looked after everything from energetic young dogs to older pets needing extra attention, even fostering dogs with behavioral issues for the SPCA.
Your pets' happiness and well-being are my top priority - let’s chat! &nbsp;

Hi! I’m Alex — a lifelong dog lover, active dad, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time outdoors with animals. I have two dogs of my own (a beagle and a husky), so I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your furry family member.
My goal is simple: to provide a calm, safe, and fun environment where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and part of the family. Whether it’s walks, daycare, or overnight care, I bring patience, structure, and positive energy to every dog I look after.
I’m very active and love getting outside, so dogs in my care enjoy regular exercise and stimulation. A typical day includes walks, playtime, rest, and plenty of attention. Walks are usually 30–60 minutes, and I tailor them to your dog’s energy level — whether that’s a relaxed stroll or a more adventurous outing.
We’re also lucky to have a large, secure outdoor space where dogs can safely run, play, and burn off energy. It’s perfect for games like fetch, exploring, or just relaxing in the fresh air. If suitable, your dog may also have the opportunity to socialise and play with our dogs, who are friendly and well-socialised — but this is always done gradually and based on temperament to ensure a positive experience for everyone.
For daycare and boarding, I keep numbers small so each dog gets proper attention. I take time to introduce dogs slowly and safely to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, sleep, and exercise. Dogs are always supervised when together, and I prioritise a calm, controlled environment.
Because I have a young child at home, safety is something I take very seriously. Dogs are never left unattended in situations where safety could be compromised, and I ensure all interactions are managed carefully and respectfully.
I also have a background in teaching, which means I’m reliable, communicative, and attentive to individual needs. I’m comfortable working with different temperaments, including energetic dogs, nervous dogs, puppies, and older dogs who may need a slower pace.
Your dog’s wellbeing always comes first. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and clear communication so you feel confident and at ease while your pet is in my care.
Additional details:
• Walks: 30–60 minutes depending on your preference
• Dogs per day: Small numbers to ensure quality care
• Fully supervised environment
• Only vaccinated dogs accepted
• Happy to follow your dog’s routine exactly
At the end of the day, I treat every dog like my own — with care, attention, and genuine enjoyment.


Hi! I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter with hands-on experience looking after my own pets, including two cats (including one diva ragdoll), a house bunny and experience with guinea pigs. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their personalities, routines, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable in my care.

I’m confident administering medication, sticking closely to feeding routines, and supporting shy or nervous pets by letting them settle at their own pace. For dog walks, I focus on calm, attentive outings tailored to your dog’s energy level, ensuring they’re exercised safely and happily.

During home visits, I make sure pets are well cared for, routines are followed, and your home is respected and secure. I’m attentive to safety, hygiene, and clear communication, and I’m always happy to provide updates for peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to make time away from you as stress-free as possible.

Hey! I’m a dedicated and reliable pet sitter with over five years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets of all sizes and temperaments. I genuinely love animals and understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet like family. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

I’m very active and love the outdoors, which makes me a great match for dogs who enjoy long walks, playtime at the park, and plenty of exercise. Whether your pet needs energetic adventures or calm companionship at home, I adapt to their unique personality and routine. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, reinforcing training, and providing lots of affection and attention.

I only accept vaccinated pets to ensure a safe and healthy environment for everyone.

Your pet’s wellbeing is always my top priority, and I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care you can feel confident about :)!

*I currently have availability after 3pm on week days and all day weekends.

I’m Molly, a passionate dog lover with years of experience. I've been dog walking and sitting for family and friends since I was 12, and that early experience sparked my love for caring for dogs. Now, as a proud dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to provide the best care, attention, and exercise for your furry companion. I genuinely enjoy making each walk an enjoyable experience for your dog, whether it's a brisk walk around the neighborhood or a fun outing at the park. I offer 30-minute walks, and home check-ins are typically about 20 minutes. I tailor every walk to your dog’s unique needs, personality, and energy level. If your dog requires oral medication, I am happy to administer it as needed. I take pride in offering loving, reliable, and professional care, ensuring your dog gets the exercise and joy they deserve. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priority. I am available on weekends, Mondays, and some mornings and afternoons during the week. I would love to help keep your dog happy, healthy, and active! Feel free to reach out to book a walk or ask any questions about my services️
