Hi! I'm Tao and I'm an experienced dog walker based in central Auckland. I've been away from NZ for the past 3 years living in Japan, but before that I had a regular dog-walking client through Pawshake and I'd love to continue walking dogs now that I've moved back!
I live within walking distance of Auckland Domain and Victoria Park and I'm close to central city suburbs like Ponsonby, Parnell, Mt Eden, Newmarket and Freeman's Bay.
I am a very active person so your dog can expect energetic walks (or if the dog is older/has injuries, a less vigorous stroll) and as much playtime as he/she needs.
I work from home, so I can look after/walk your dog around my work schedule.
As part of the dog walking service, I will walk and spend time with your dog for up to 90 minutes (minimum 30 minutes).
Aside from dog-walking, I can also conduct house visits to feed and spend time with your pet. My services in this respect would include:
- Caring for up to 3 pets
- Spending time with your dog/cat/other pets
- Feeding your dog/cat/other pets as instructed
- Tidy up any mess made by your pet/s
- house/apartment lock-up and secured each time I leave your home
Our animal companions are so precious and I would treat every pet as if he/she were my own! I wish I could have my own dog but I live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets.
Note: I do not currently own a car so I would need to be able to reach you and your pet by walking or with public transport.
I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pet!!
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Tao was the best at looking after our two-year-old cat. She sent us picture and video updates, was super communicative, and put my partner and me at ease throughout the whole period. Thanks so much Tao!
This is my first time using Pawshake and it was a very positive experience. Tao was very quick in responding and the meet and greet with our pooch Mika went very well. Tao asked great questions which gave me the confidence that Mika would be in good hands. This was reinforced by Mika's excitement upon seeing Tao when she came to pick Mika up. I could not have asked for a better companion and walker for Mika and highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a loving and attentive sitter/walker for their dog.
