Scout

I am a passionate, curious and conscientous young lady, born and raised in Christchurch. Currently, I am completing a Masters Degree in Biochemistry, with a view to moving into research in the field of nutrition relative to human and canine health.  

My current lifestyle blesses me with the opportunity of a very flexible schedule, the ability to work remotely and the opportunity to spend my time doing the things I really love! These include exploring the beaches and bush, fossicking for fossils/geodes, property improvement, cooking, and most of all... sharing my everyday moments and experiences with canine companions.

I have been the owner/operator of Peace of Mind Pet services for 10 years, as a house sitter and dog walker in Christchurch. My experience in this position and as a passionate outdoors person has left me with detailed knowledge of prime on/off leash walking areas and conditions relative to interactions with other dogs and people. These include bush, beach, river, urban, park and rural.

I was raised in a rural district and have experience with and passion for, caring and handling a wide range of furry and feathered friends. In particular, I am well researched and passionate about canine behaviour, training techniques, and up to date on relative health and nutrition.
