About Samantha
Hey wonderful people,
I'm in my early thirties, have far too many houseplants, and love animals of all sorts. Growing up, we always had animals around - dogs, cats, iguana, rats, mice, hamsters, fish, birds, horses, and a pet pot bellied pig to name a few..
My current flat doesn't have any critters around and I thought it'd be a happy medium to get to meet new furry friends as a sitter. I was a nanny for years whilst living in Auckland and would often housesit for the nanny families and via word of mouth through kindy and school. I've helped raise and train quite a few pups and kittens over the years, and friends would often ask my help in administering medication for particularly challenging cases.
I'm available as a sitter in the pet's home, offering either brief check ins or more intensive housesitting to ensure they are as comfortable as possible. In emergency cases, a pet is welcome in my fully fenced home. As long as instructions are clear, I'm happy to help with any special needs or requirements.
Please note that Pawshake lists my base rate. Any additional responsibilities are welcome and negotiable.
I'm working on my PhD with a relatively flexible schedule. Full license and personal vehicle, pets are welcome to come for a ride
Feel free to flick me a message anytime :)
Cheers,
Samantha
