About Miriam

Hello friends,

I have recently moved to Christchurch and am looking to do some pet sitting for the wonderful domestic animals of this city. I work in the daytime Monday - Thursday, so am free evenings and all day Friday - Sunday.

I am happy to walk your dog(s) for up to an hour in one session, come to your house twice a day just to feed your pets, and/or stay there to make sure they're well looked after for as long as you please.

Unfortunately at this time I can't board animals at my own home.

I have had cats all my life and more recently have worked as a dog walker and always get on well with both. I want to make sure your pets are comfortable and happy while you are out and about! I have experience with home visits, house sitting and have volunteered at the SPCA in the animal recovery centre so should be prepared for whatever your animal care needs are. I also have experience with handling, feeding, and general care of rodents through my studies at university.

I am reliable and very organised and always aim to put the needs of the customer/client first so will definitely be a pet sitter you can trust.

I have also been acknowledged by several people that I am a great animal portrait photographer, and also like to draw and paint, so I can do portraits of your pet(s) in numerous ways if that's something you're looking for!

Looking forward to hearing from you :)

Miriam
