Kia ora! I have a big love for all animals, but especially dogs; I had my own dog growing up, and was fully responsible for taking care of her so I come with many years of experience. I also grew up with bunny rabbits, goats and cows who were all treated as pets. Additionally, I've been looking after other people's pets for many years, so I am comfortable and capable of handling dogs that aren't familiar with me. I especially love looking after slightly nervous animals; there is nothing more rewarding than earning their trust with a lot of love and patience. I am yet to meet a dog I can't win over.
If you're planning a trip, I know it can be hard to leave your pets behind, but I can make the process a little easier by providing your dog (and any other pets!) with loving care in their familiar environment while you're away. I work at AUT as a lecturer in microbiology, so I will be away in the office or lab during working hours and your pup would have to be used to that. But when I am home they will have 120% of my attention, and get plenty of cuddles, walks, runs and adventures to suit their preferences. I am also more than happy to keep you up to date with our adventures while you're away and will send you lots of pics of your fur-babies to make sure you don't miss them too much.
If it sounds like I might be a good fit to look after your pet, please get in touch and we can arrange a 'meet and greet'.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day 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
Syrie had great communication and came out to meet us and our dogs prior to our trip away.
The dogs got on well with her and we were left comfortable in the knowledge that they would be well cared for.
During our trip away Syrie kept us informed with regular photos and updates. Our cat who usually does not make an appearance when we have visitors snuggled up with Syrie.
We arrived back with well cared for dogs and a house in perfect order.
Thank you very much Syrie, we would have no hesitation in recommending you to others.
Syrie was an incredible dog sitter! Not only was she great at communicating and responded for our late notice dog sitting, she was lovely with the dogs, kept us updated if she was concerned with anything and left the house in a great condition. She has a wonderful dog sitter and we will definitely use again in the future! 10 out of 10.
