Professional Pet Sitter and expert Belly Rubber.
Hello, my name is Anika. I’m a passionate animal lover with 2 years of experience working as a veterinary nurse. Where I developed strong skills in animal handling, care, and wellbeing. In addition, I have personal experience as a dog owner, which has given me a deep understanding of pets’ daily needs and behaviours. I am also a grade C certified pet (dog) groomer. Which I can help bathe and groom your dog. 
I’ve also had my own dogs overseas, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family.
I decided to become a pet sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and want to provide owners with peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care.
My motivation for becoming a pet sitter comes from my passion for animal care.
I am happy to offer:
🐾 Dog Walking
🐾 Home Visits
🐾 House Sitting
I will not be able to provide dog boarding and doggy day care services. Sorry about that. 😔
I am here at New Zealand as a working holiday visa so I will be moving around New Zealand. I am currently at South Island.
I would love to meet you and your pet to know more about them. Feel free to message me and ask more! 😉
