About Katie

Kia ora!

My name is Katie, I am an avid animal lover and I am looking to work with pets.

I’m very caring, reliable, compassionate, an excellent communicator and your furry friend's happiness is at the core of how I work. I really enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality and I have many years experience with animals (cats, dogs, birds, lizards as pets and also volunteering at an animal sanctuary). I understand the importance of attention, stimulation, training and exercise as part of well rounded care for your lovely furry family members and I try to incorporate all of these in the services I offer. Including if it is a rainy day there are other ways to tire out your dog through stimulating indoor play and games. I'm available for animal feeding, day time sitting in the owners home, dog walks, and I'm also available for pet sitting upon arrangement.

Services I offer:

  • Walks (30 minutes) - a fun walk on lead in a dog friendly place. If it is too hot or too cold then we would do some stimulating play and indoor exercise.
  • I am open to discussing home visits which would be for 30 minutes to feed and play with your dog as well as take them out for a bathroom break and if needed clean up any of their indoor messes (applicable puppies and senior dogs).

    I look forward to hearing how I can be of help. Please contact me to discuss you and your dogs needs further.

    Have a great day!

    Specific Skills

    I speak English
    < 5 years of experience
    Familiar with dog training techniques
    I am an avid animal lover at heart. I have 3 years experience as a dog owner and 12 years experience with cats. I have also been a volunteer at an animal sanctuary that specialises in rescuing puppies and pregnant dogs. I have fostered a wonderful rescue dog (whom I adopted). She is now 2.5 years old (a mystery breed) and I have a younger dog who is 10 months old (a Maltese x Shitzu) My rescue dog is very sensitive. I’ve worked with her for 3 months intensively to help her regain her confidence after she was rescued. She’s now very well adjusted at home. I also have experience with blue tongue lizards, birds, mice, and goldfish.
