Edwina

Hello!
My name is Edwina, 

I completed a Certificate in Animal Management-General Training at Unitec in 2014.

I completed 80 hours work experience at a local cattery as part of work experience for my Unitec course, as well as 80 hours at a dog groomers.

I worked as a dog groomer from late 2014-2020.
I learnt first hand how to work with dogs and how to read their body language to ensure that they're comfortable and happy, and over the years have developed an affinity for dogs. I enjoyed working as a dog groomer seeing such a range of diffferent dogs and establishing a connection with them. 

In 2015 and 2016 I completed Pet First Aid courses.

I began working part time at a dog daycare in 2019 where I continue to work and also really enjoy. 

Around 2020 I began reducing my hours dog grooming due to an injury, and began petsitting for clients from work. I then signed up to Pawshake and have been able to meet and look after many more beautiful dogs. 

I grew up with dogs and one cat, currently my family has Scruffy, an 18 year old Fox Terrier who enjoys being pampered as well as Coco a 15 year old Tebitan Spaniel Cross who is very cute and enjoys her food. 

I provide housesitting services where I can stay with your pet at your place for the duration of your holiday. This allows them to have company and be cared for while still having the familiarity and comfort of their own home and surroundings. I always keep the house very clean and tidy and am extra careful with the front door/gates for their safety. I will take your dog on walks during the day as agreed or exercise them in the garden if preferred. I am more than happy to tailor a plan to best suit your pet,

Thank you,
Edwina
