I have grown up with multople dogs all my life, everything from Spaniels (Baz, Fred, Spanner and Indie) to Staffies (Blade and Bella). Having started travelling and living abroad in 2015 the only thing other than my family that is misisng in my life is the cuddles with my cocker Spaniels Baz and Indie. Being on the move to a new country every year, I have volunteered in small animal shelters and as much as I want a pet of my own with me, I refuse to get a pet and uproute them until I am settled for the long term. In the meantime I just want to spend some time with animals to give them all the pets and love I wish I was giving to my families' furbabies back in England.

I will be offering dog walking for 30 mins as well as dog sitting at the pets home as my current landlord does not allow pets where we are currently living. I will be able to offer walks, runs, playing to burn off their energy, love and petting as well as caring for them when house sitting (including feeding/any other types of care they may need). Typical stop-by visits will be 45 mins-1hour when feeding/taking them out when dogsitting and am happy to discuss any extras that may be required for longer stays (overnight sits etc).

Back at home I also had 2 bearded dragons and became so attached to their personalities. Even though my mum was scared of them, they were harmless and so playful. Due to having my reptiles for a long time I also started caring for a friends snake when she went on vacation so am comfortable with reptiles that might need caring for.

I have pet sat in almost every country I have lived in (besides Australia where I lived in the outback on a farm so played with cows everyday), I offer walks and pet sitting in their own home so they are most comfortable and I'm so excited to start now that I'm finally settled here in Auckland!
