Hi  my name is Tash and I am 28 y/o, I am currently living in Upper Hutt and have some great walks around my area.
I just moved back from living in the UK as a nanny, during this time I walked the family's dog every day for atleast an hour and I miss doing this. Unfortunately, there are no pets in my household (due to shift workers). 
I grew up with dogs and cats constantly around so I have  good sense of how to deal with them on walks and to care for them. Prior to me moving to the UK, I did a few house sits for a co-worker of mine looking after his adorable dog. I am happy to do any house sits, dog walks etc...
I am currently available for pet walks &amp; house sits throughout the week and weekends. I offer 30-60 minute walks, within this I can also provide play / catch when requested and if there is a particular route or area you would like your dog to be walked in. They will recieve heaps of pats / cuddles and always in safe hands. 
Message me if you have any questions or if you have any requirements for your pets 
Look forward to hearing from you soon 


Hey I'm Tumihi a 28 year old shift working professional.
I am experienced with cats, dogs of all sizes and farm animals such as sheep, cows and pigs ‍.
I have grown up on farms, training cattle and hunting dogs, raising rescue kittens and caring for injured pigs, cows and lambs. I currently have two rescue cats of my own who are essentially my sons, Sanji and Pidge.
I have previously done volunteer work at Bay of Plenty SPCA, cleaning up and tending to sick small animals and have experience administering oral medication to cats, dogs and farm animals. I am also confident and capable with handling big strong and reactive dogs. 
Alongside my experience with animals I am also very security and attention to detail focused and will ensure the integrity of both your pet and home. 
I adore all animals and would love to offer my care, patience and affection to your beloved pets to ensure they are as settled and safe as possible while you enjoy your time away.️
Please know I work shift work so am sometimes unable to stick to specific strict routines. 
Any questions just send me a message, I am more than happy to accomodate special requirements for you and your furry (or scaly or feathered or bald) family members 

Hi! I’m Cathy, an animal lover based in Kelson, Lower Hutt.

I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets throughout my life, including a Golden Retriever and a British Shorthair cat. Most recently, I had my own beloved dog, who sadly passed away in January. Losing her was heartbreaking, but it also deepened my understanding of how precious and important our pets are in our lives.

Over the years, I’ve gained experience through looking after friends’ and neighbours’ pets, including caring for a young Golden Retriever for over a month. I’m patient, responsible, and always attentive to each pet’s individual needs.

I currently offer home visits for feeding (including cats), playtime, and dog walking. While I don’t provide boarding, I’m more than happy to visit your home to ensure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment.

At the moment, I don’t have pets at home, which allows me to fully focus on giving your pets my time, care, and attention.

If you’re looking for someone reliable, gentle, and genuinely passionate about animal wellbeing, I’d love to meet you and your furry family members.
Let’s arrange a Meet &amp; Greet to see if we’re the right fit!

Looking forward to meeting you,
Cathy 

Kia ora, I’m Neha – Cat Mum &amp; Pet Sitter in Lower Hutt 

I’m a proud cat mum to my sweet Ragdoll, Yuki, and I know how important it is to have someone reliable and caring to look after your pets when you’re away. I offer calm, loving, and dependable pet sitting services—especially for fellow cat owners, but I’m also comfortable caring for small to medium-sized dogs.

I truly understand how sensitive and unique each pet is. I take the time to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well looked after in their own home environment. Whether it’s feeding, litter cleaning, walkies, or just gentle company, I treat every pet like they’re my own.

Services I offer (Lower Hutt only):
️ Daily home visits for cats and small–medium dogs
️ Feeding, cuddles, litter cleaning, and playtime
️ Dog walks (short to moderate length)
️ Administering basic medication (if needed)
️ Plant care and light home upkeep
️ Daily updates and photos

I’m available for both short- and long-term bookings. Happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to ensure I’m the right fit for your furry family!

I have over 20 years experience with dogs and absolutely enjoy their company, along with our own dog Chester, enjoying the companship of other doggies too. I genuinely want any dog in my care at home, or on daily walks to have the best experience possible. They will be cared for just like our own dog Chester, ie will be treated as they were our own. I try to see their world through their eyes, and what they would want eg. longer stops to stop and sniff the new smells on their walks, a dip in the water at the river, chasing balls or frisbees, or an amble through the forest. I can also include a bit of a 'tidy up' ie give your doggy a good brush down (if you provide their brushes etc). I find that most enjoy this extra love and attention. I can also pick up and drop off your dog. I will uipdate you with photos of their daily adventures. Your dog will be asking to come and stay!


Hi my name is Xitij Sakhalkar. I currently am a cat parent who is a year old now, so I can understand how difficult it feels to leave your pet behind when you need to go away. Pets are family and they too deserve the same love and attention when you are not around.
For the last 2 years I have cared for my neighbours and friends pets and of-course my little furball (my cat) which has given me experience with both cats and dogs of different personalities. From daily feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles. I make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable.
I know how reassuring it is to receive updates when you are away, so I am always happy to share photos and messages so you can see how your pet is doing and you can have the peace of mind while you are away.

I love animals and appreciate the companionship, comfort, and happiness they bring into everyday life. My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from wanting to provide pets with the same level of care, patience, and attention they receive from their owners. I understand how important it is for your pets to feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for in a trusted environment, a responsibility I take seriously.
I have a vast amount of hands-on experience caring for animals. I own two dogs, which has given me a strong understanding of daily routines, training reinforcement, exercise needs, and emotional wellbeing. I also have years of experience house-sitting for both cats and dogs, which has included taking pets for walks, feeding them according to their routines, and administering medications when required. Additionally, I previously worked as a dog walker in the Wellington region, caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. During this role, I completed training in CPR for both dogs and cats, strengthening my ability to respond calmly and effectively in emergency situations. I have also volunteered at a cat shelter, and was involved in feeding, care, and socialisation. Currently I volunteer at the HUHA dog shelter. 
I am kind, caring, reliable, attentive, and committed to treating every pet with the same care and respect I give my own.
