About Irene

Haere Mai, my name is Irene (she/her), and I am a single mother based in Auckland, New Zealand. I have owned and lived with dogs all my life. To name a few, I grew up with dachshunds, golden retrievers, shitzu and n a cavoodle. Dogs are part of our family and are one of my babies. I work full-time and occasionally work from home. I also have a 10-year-old son who loves dogs more than me.

Currently, my dog is in the Philippines, we decided to relocate to Manila, and as with life, in hindsight, we
have been away too long and I have decided New Zealand is our home. We had to leave our lovely Chloe in Manila ( for now) and are using every dollar we have to get her back. It will cost $12,000- $17,000 to get her back because the Philippines is not an approved country and even though Chloe was born in NZ, she needs to live in an approved country for 6 months. The flights and boarding will cost that much.

To this end, I understand how important your pets mean to you, and sometimes life gets in the way. We get busy and run out of time or simply want to go on a holiday and dogs are not allowed to the place you are going. I live very close to Cornwall Park and Puriri Drive and it's a lovely place for dogs and (humans) to walk and socialize.

I am happy to meet up and greet each other first to have a talk and discussion first regarding your pet before we make any decision, on what their needs are and how you want me to handle them during their stay with us.
