About Rachael

Kia ora! My name is Rachael, I am a 32-year-old living in Grey Lynn. I'm fully vaccinated. Please check out my reviews after reading my bio!

My availability for certain services is available on my calendar, use the drop down menu to see if I am available for the dates you need. PLEASE NOTE: my availability is subject to my other work commitments at the moment so I may not be avaliable for your booking if I can't work around those commitments. The pawshake app doesn't let you block out availability hour to hour so I can't log this in the calendar. Also subject to location as I am without a car for the foreseeable future 
About me: I am a theatre-maker, writer and performer, and I also work as a pet sitter casually through Pawshake. Back in 2018 I worked for a company as a dog walker and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, so I decided to continue on as a freelance dog walker/pet sitter here on Pawshake and have found the experience to be so rewarding! I offer pet visits and pet sitting for if you're travelling and need someone to check in on your beloved pets, making sure they get all their needs met whilst you're away! Pet visits are up to 30 minutes of time with your pet per visit. I reccommend in-home pet sitting services for dogs and animals with higher needs, giving you an alternative to using boarding - this way you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are where they are most comfortable with someone keeping an eye on them. I'm also happy checking in on/pet sitting other types of animals such as lizards, birds, cats, fish and rodents. I have experience with all the above. All services come with regular updates and photos to assure you that your pets are being well looked after.

My experience working with animals isn't limited to dog walking, in the past, I have fostered adult cats and kittens through the SPCA and Lonely Miaow.

I adore animals and I hope that I can give you a worry-free service in looking after your animal friends! I understand the bond that we form with our pets and I will do my utmost to make sure I can give the same love, care and patience to your own animals in your absence. Thanks for reading - don't hesitate to get in touch!

Rachael looked after our cat Lily while we were away for 4 nights, Rachael was so amazing with Lily and we came home to a very happy and relaxed cat. She messaged us daily updates and photos. Would definitely recommend Rachael, she was very trustworthy and was amazing with Lily. Thanks again! x

As usual, Rachael was excellent. Even though we had to change our dates she was very accommodating, and sent updates about the kittens each time. She'll definitely be asked to come back!
