Kia ora! We’re Sanne and Edouard: dog-loving PhD students living in Ōrākei and offering pet care in Orakei and surrounding suburbs.

We’re both doing our PhDs in Marine Science at the University of Auckland, and while our research keeps life interesting, our schedules are flexible. We often work from home or locally, which means we can give dogs plenty of company, attention, and enrichment throughout the day.

Whether it’s daily dog walks, overnight stays, or house sitting, we make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and genuinely loved. We’re active people — into surfing, hiking, and camping — so we’re always excited to take dogs along for adventures, but we’re equally happy to hang out at home with dogs who prefer a quiet and relaxed routine.

🐾 What we offer

• Dog walking: regular neighbourhood strolls, beach walks, or longer outings depending on your dog’s needs
• Home visits / check-ins 
• Overnight house sitting: maintaining routines, lots of company, and a well-cared-for home in Orakei and nearby suburbs.

🐶 What you can expect from us

• Attentive, caring pet companions who genuinely love spending time with dogs
• Clear communication before and during the booking (photos + updates)
• Respect for your home. We treat every space as if it were our own
• A car for vet visits, outings, or emergencies
• Non-smoking, tidy, and reliable 

We know how important it is to have complete peace of mind when leaving your dog and home in someone else’s care. Our goal is always to make things feel seamless, safe, and stress-free for both you and your pet.

If you’re looking for friendly, responsible, and active dog sitters in the Eastern bays suburbs, we’d love to meet you and your dog!
