Kia Ora, my name is Yvette and I am an animal lover living in Belmont on the North Shore. I live with my partner, baby son and our fur babies Toulouse the cat and Willy the labradoodle. I have been around dogs and cats my whole life! We always had between three to four cats living with us at a time as I was growing up. I know from first hand experience that owning a pet brings such joy but can also bring stress and worry when planning weekends away or longer trips. I believe that Pawshake is an awesome service to use and as a pet owner I have had nothing but good experiences using this site and wanted to offer my services and availability to other pet owners in the area who need a caring and compassionate individual to care for their animal while they are away! I am available mostly for weekend pet sitting but am also happy to do morning and evening feeds during the week if you have a longer trip planned. Because we have a baby it is easiest for me to stay close to home in the Belmont/Devonport area but please feel free to enquire and I will let you know if am available for your area! I am passionate about providing animals with the attention, care and play that they need to ensure that they know they are secure and loved while you are away!
Yvette was fantastic. Great communication at every step. Sent us gorgeous pics to show a happy cat during her visits. Would definitely recommend to other pet owners looking for a sitter!
Yvette took great care of Elvis accommodating the addition of him needing daily medications last minute. This was the first time I had gone away and very glad I made the decision to have Yvette take care of him at home over a cattery.
I have had a lot of experience looking after specifically cats but also dogs. I am fit and active so am happy to take you dogs on longer walks or runs if they need to burn off their energy. I can administer oral medications to both cats and dogs. I work in social services so have been background checked my many organisations so you can be assured that I am a safe and trustworthy person coming into your home.
