Kia ora, I am a teacher based in Hamilton with a strong passion for music, nature, and animals. I am a reliable and caring house and pet sitter with several years of experience, including caring for over 10 dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, as well as many cats. While I haven’t owned a dog myself, I have gained plenty of hands-on experience through house sitting and pet sitting, and I absolutely love the time I get to spend with animals. I am a member of Kiwi House Sitters and have completed many successful house and pet sits, with multiple positive references available on request. I have a particular soft spot for cats (I proudly call myself a bit of a “cat lady”), but I also really enjoy looking after dogs, from daily walks and playtime to giving them plenty of attention, care, and cuddles. I really enjoy house sitting as it provides a calm and quiet space, as I am currently flatting. I am tidy, respectful, and responsible, and I take pride in looking after homes and pets as if they were my own. I enjoy daily walks and spending time outdoors, so having a dog to join me is something I genuinely look forward to. I also love exploring and getting to know new areas around New Zealand and settling into different communities, even if only for a short time. Thank you for considering my profile, and please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or would like references. Ngā mihi, Chantelle
