About Sam

Hi! My name is Sam and I am a full-time student and part time nanny/dance teacher. I love animals and am deeply passionate about animal welfare and caring for animals. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rats, mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, other birds, and fish. If you have an animal not on this list feel free to get in touch still! My favourite animals and dogs and rats, but I really do love them all.

In the past I have been a regular volunteer at the SPCA. I have also volunteered for the NZ Rat Rescue and NZ Hedgehog Rescue. 

The main services that I offer are in-home pet sitting and home visits while my clients are on holiday. I am only looking for work on the North Shore (of Auckland) or very nearby areas. 

Whats included?:

Dog walking: 30 minute on-leash walk.

Home visits: Feeding, water top up, medication administration (if required), lots of pats, a check of your pet(s) to make sure they are looking happy and healthy. Clean littler box or bring dog outside to toilet area. And, if you'd like, send you a photo update!

House sitting: I will stay the night at your house and care for your pets. This services includes all of the above, plus dog walking if you have a dog.

I am responsible and reliable and will follow any instructions that you leave for me. I will also give your pet(s) LOTS of love/attention/pats etc. I have a clean criminal history record and full drivers licence.

Please get in touch if you have any questions!

Sam was a great pet sitter to our two inside cats. Communication was clear and easy, our house was lovely and tidy and best of all our cats were happy and well cared for. Would recommend ☺️

Sam recently looked after our Jack and Rosie when we went away and kept in contact by sharing pictures and providing updates of our fur babies. We came back to happy pets and a well looked after home. Definitely would book again.
