Hi!
I'm Brittany, and I live in a semi-rural suburb of New Zealand in a cosy cottage amidst beautiful trees, greenery and birdsong. We have a few pets ourselves: a little 13 yr old pomeranian X papillon dog named Star (Little Bear), and 16 beautiful chickens. We are frequently visited by wild doves that have kind of become our pets too! As a family we love adventure, nature, healthy living, music, animals, books, creativity & philosophy. We are hoping to own a farm very soon so that we can own lots more animals and enjoy the beauty of nature. We believe in a gentle and respectful way of caring for animals, so you can be assured that your pet will be well cared for. We have done house-sitting previously and also looked after animals. We are happy to care for any type of pet and look after them at our home. Our cottage has a spacious fully fenced verandah with a gate, and a lot of grassy land for leashed walks around the property. We can take your pets for walks down the road too and we have a stunning local park which is just 4 minutes drive away, if you would like us to give them some outdoor off-leash time at a big field! You can see photographs of our residence in the picture gallery, as well as the local park and our little doggie. Your pets will have 24/7 company as I am a home-maker and we are a Life-Learning (home-educating) family. My husband works from home. We look forward to caring for your beautiful creature(s) :)

Details of our dog:
Star is our little furry pomeranian X papillon who also goes by the name 'Little Bear'. She was born in 2011 and she loves curling up in cosy warm places: on her owners laps, lounging in front of the fireplace, spending time in her tipi, and resting in the sunshine. She likes to chase tennis balls, and she especially likes anything tiny and round; even in her old age I've seen her play with guavas, peas, and tiny pinecones - rolling on them and throwing them up in the air with her nose and paws. She tends to be a sensitive soul and usually takes a little time to warm up to new people and creatures, but once she's finished analyzing them she treats them as part of the family. Star brings us much joy and we love having her in our family!
