I have always been in love with animals. Growing up with dogs has given me the ability to understand them and I always loved being around dogs, cats, horses and any kind or animal. I have been riding horses since I was 10 years old and have been doing it ever since. I am originally from Germany and moved to New Zealand 5 years ago and am so glad I can call it my home.
I have had 2 cats in Germany, that I brought with me to New Zealand, but unfortunately both past away within the past 12 months. They both been with me for 7 and 12 years and were my whole world.
I am volunteering for the SPCA on a regular basis on the weekends and my spare time as well as foster kittens for them.
I petsit for my friends at their houses when they go on holidays and enjoy this tremensly.
I currently live in a house and my flatmate has 2 dogs that I take care of as well such as grooming, walking, feeding and every now and then even give meds.
I am a very reliable person, am always on time and go out of my way to make a pet comfortable. I'm the kind of person that would rather sit with the dog at the party :)
A little more about myself, I am 44 and working full time Monday to Friday 8 am to 4.30pm or 8.30 to 5pm basis.
As mentioned before, I do love spending time with animals and have no fear to be around them. I am more than happy to also petsit if a dog, cat or any other pet requires medication, even injections.
I do not have experience with reptiles though, but would be happy to sit as well and learn the experience. However a previous partner of mine did have 2 reptiles and he taught me the odd thing or two on how they live and what to do to take care of them.
I don't mind picking up poop or cleaning up after pets, it's part of it.

Cathrin is wonderful, highly recommend, my pets loved her.
We were so happy that Caty could look after our girls. They had a blast and we could see they were very well taken care of.
