Hi, I'm Jo, and I'd love to help you with providing the best possible care for your pets.
I'm a qualified veterinary nurse and experienced animal handler with over 15 years experience caring for a variety of domestic pets, including birds, reptiles and small animals such as mice, rats and chinchillas.
After working in one of NZ's leading dog daycares for 6 years, I went back to university and am able to offer pet care services again on a casual basis. I am able to administer any medication (including insulin & other subcutaneous injections) or special care that your pet needs.
I have experience with all sizes and most breeds of dog, and am confident with energetic dogs or those with extra health or behavioural needs. I am able to offer basic obedience dog training (as well as a few tricks!). Walks can be on-leash, or off-leash at an appropriate park once I have confidence in your dog's recall.
Dog walks are at least 30 minutes, (1 hour walks are available on request). I customise walks to suit the needs of you and your dog, from a relaxed stroll to a high-energy workout. Basic obedience training is also available.
Home visits are 30 minutes, and include anything you need to keep your household ticking over and your pets happy - lots of pats and cuddles, feeding & refreshing water, maintaining litter trays, administering medication (including insulin or other injections), brushing/basic grooming, bringing in your mail, watering plants, etc. Please ask if you have any particular requirements and I will do my best to meet your needs.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. 7 days 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
