About Rebecca

Hi there! I'm Rebecca, experienced animal owner and carer, trained zookeeper, and all round animal lover. I have a love for all animals - big, small, furry, feathery, hairy, scaly, and slimy! 

I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, sheep, goats, llamas, alpacas, pigs, cows, reptiles, birds (including poultry), amphibians, invertebrates, guinea pigs, rabbits, and mice.

I am trained in medicating various animals orally, topically, and via injecton as well as adhering to specific diets and routines such as bottle and syringe feeding. I have experience caring for juvenile, geriatric, and additional needs pets. 

I love caring for all animals and getting to know each and every one. 

I have cared for various animals over the years including in home stays, house sitting and visits, dog walking, pet grooming, creating exciting enrichment, and vet visits. I have also had a few different pets of my own including cats and my current bearded dragon.

I currently work full time Monday to Friday near the airport. Please take that into consideration when looking at booking my services. I am not currently able to care for animals that require all day care during the week. 

I am able to care for and visit animals in the south and west of Christchurch. If your area falls outside that, please contact me to discuss your requirements.

I can currently accept small animals into my home for care such as reptiles. Please contact me if this is something you require. 

I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know your animals 😊

Rebecca came to walk Alfie so they could get reacquainted before our holiday. He’s not an easy walk but her calm confidence is just what he needs for a happy walk.
