Hello wonderful people of Pawshake!
A Short Introduction
My name is Kayleigh and I am a 26 year old female based in Christchurch, New Zealand. I work as a Caregiver for people with intellectual disabilities, but only over three days a week which leaves me with plenty of time to spend with lovely animals! I have always loved and appreciated all animals since I was a small child. I have volunteered with SPCA in Dunedin and Cats Protection League in Canterbury and even did some fostering for Cats Protection League when I could. Unfortunately in my current living arrangements I can not be looking after any cats or dogs due to my rental contract, however any animals that come within their wee homes are fine.
More About My Experience
Over my life I have looked after and bonded with many different animals. Growing up on a farm has given me a lot of experience with famr animals; such as sheep, cows, pigs, goats and chickens. After leaving home I lived in Dunedin for a while and volunteered for two years with the SPCA and worked with dogs, cats and small animals. I then worked with cats even more when I volunteered and fostered with Cats Protection League after moving back to Christchurch. In terms of the pets that I have owned; I have owned two pet rats who unfotunately passed away two years ago. I have had my cat for three years and this year have started my own tropical fresh water fish tank which has been thriving for the last 5 months.
My beliefs as a Pet Sitter
I believe all animals have value and all of them can bring something truly special into our lives. I would be honoured for you to trust me with taking care of your precious family member, as our pets really do become part of our families and it is so important that we know our family is in good hands. I have no restrictions in terms of what kind of animals to look after and am more than happy to put my own time into researching about specific cases.

Was totally happy with the care of Missie, who is a diabetic so needs a bit of extra care . Would have Kayleigh back any time.
Kayleigh is just lovely. She was really flexible with when she could meet us and was available to help us out with little notice time. She put up with my jumpy puppy and was pleasant and friendly. Highly recommended pet sitter!!
