Kathleen and Dave

We are an easy going Canadian couple in our 30's with lots of pet-sitting experience!🇨🇦🐶🐱  

We are on working holiday visas and will be staying in Christchurch for a while.

We are mature, reliable, and friendly! Kathleen loves dancing and trying new things. Dave loves crossword puzzles and wood working projects. We both love traveling, exploring, taking spontaneous adventures to new places, being in nature, and meeting new people and of course animals! We are both looking forward to expanding our horizons by meeting new people from various cultures and spending time with different kinds of animals.

We have both grown up with cats and dogs in our households. Over the past few years, we have been busy gaining experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and doing drop in pet visits! We are comfortable with different sizes and breeds. We will follow any instructions you leave with the utmost care and attention, and make sure that your pet is kept safe while under our watch. 

We mainly have been looking after cats and dogs, but would love to also gain experience in caring for other types of animals as well. We thought it would be a wonderful idea to combine traveling and pet care into one by exploring beautiful New Zealand while also spending time with animals! We adore animals and love spending time with them!

If your animal has any special needs, feel free to go over all the details with us and we will accommodate them to the best of our abilities. Just let us know what your pet likes to do, what environments make them comfortable, how much play time they need, etc. and we will do whatever is needed to keep them happy while you're away!

We do like to try and have a quick meet and greet with the pets before we do any pet sitting/walking. Send a message if you have any questions for us! 🙂
