Kia ora, I'm Annabel - a Christchurch local who grew up on your classic Kiwi lifestyle block surrounded by animals, including dogs, sheep, chickens, horses (and at one point alpacas)!

I have always loved being around animals and spending time in nature, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, from energetic puppies and huskies to independent cats and older pets requiring extra care and medication. Growing up with a dog who developed epilepsy also gave me experience with animals needing patience, consistency, and attentive care. 

After returning from a year of solo travel, I am now a full-time working professional based in Ōtautahi Christchurch. I have a flexible lifestyle and am looking to provide reliable, loving care for pets and homes while building connections within the local community.

I understand how important it is to leave your pets and home in safe hands, and I would love the opportunity to meet you and discuss how I can best support your needs.

Ngā mihi, Annabel
