I am currently looking at returning to full time study (flexible online from home) and wanting to supplement income with more pet care consulting. I will have a lot more space opening up for all services so please feel free to reach out to discuss your needs.

I am an experienced pet care consultant with over 9 years professional experience. I have always had a passion for animals and pet care, having volunteered since the age of 11 at my local farm park with small animals and farm animals. In 2015 I started with a pet care company as a pet care consultant feeding cats, walking dogs, house sitting, and pet taxi. After finding another full time job I continued pet care consulting on a casual basis with a couple of regulars. 

Currently I have 2 dogs and a horse (Piper, 9yo Pomeranian x Chinese Crested, Baki, 5yo Husky x German Shepherd x Heading Dog, Lady, Kaimanawa), and previously 4 rescue/purebred cats since the age of 11. I also have a Certificate in Animal Care (Companion Animals) from Otago Polytechnic. I have experience at catteries and doggy daycares, as well as over 2 years as a nutrition advisor for cats and dogs from 2018-2020 for raw feeding so am able to tailor to this niche need if required. 

Recently I have fostered neglected dogs during lockdown 2019-2021 and keep in regular contact with my rehomed dogs. 

My services include:

🐾House visit 1-2x daily🐾

🐱 Cat feeding - I will visit your house to feed your cat(s), check water, administer medication if required.

🐴 Farm animal visits (paddock visit) - I will check in on your horses/goats/mini horses/chickens. I can change covers, fill troughs, feed out hard feed and/or hay, check hooves, groom. I am also able to administer medication if required.

Please note for the wellbeing of dogs I do not do home visits when owner's are away overnight however am happy to do home visits for young puppies/anxious dogs when the owner is at work. Alternatively I do offer doggy daycare/dog boarding.

For any house visits I am happy to bring in any mail, put out/bring in bins, and water plants.

🐕Dog walks🐕

I am able to walk dogs in the West Auckland region, possibly further on enquiry. This can either be a group dog walk with my current dog packs (small dogs/big dogs/mixed pack) or individual walks near your home. I can assist in continuing owner's training. My walks are always on lead until the dog and I get comfortable with each other and will assess then whether off lead is safe for both the dog and myself. Pictures of your fur baby during the walk is of course part of the package! My advertised rate is for a half hour, it is $30 for an hour walk, both including travel.

🏡Dog boarding/day care🏡

Be one of the family, a home away from home! I have dog boarded before for dog walking clients, foster dogs, and friends. I have 2 dogs of my own who are very friendly and not territorial of their space. Currently I work full time but from home 2 days a week. My sister lives with me and she is also on Pawshake. Most of the time one or both of us are home with the dogs as she also works from home some days and does shift work- so between the 2 of us can offer full time care. Once a fortnight there is sometimes a day someone isn't home for a few hours as both of us are working in office, but we may be able to make accommodations - to be discussed.

Doggy daycare- dogs stay at my home during the day fully supervised. I have a fully fenced, spacious backyard and plenty of toys and IQ toys to keep your dog entertained. Can cater for any day feeding/any specific needs. Pick up and drop off is an extra service, as is walks. Rate advertised is for a half day (up to 5hrs), full day rate is $50 (5+hrs) which includes a walk.

Dog boarding- all of the above + overnight stay, daily care including feeding and walks. Dogs would be sleeping in my room with plenty of cuddles. I can also have them in a crate if that is your preference. Food, toys, beds, bowls etc to be provided by the owner - I can supply treats

Dogs must be okay with both big and small dogs, toilet trained, be fully vaccinated, desexed, and up to date with flea and worm. 

I am based in West Auckland but happy to travel to the wider Auckland region.
