I grew up on a farm in the Waikato, where animals were always a huge part of my everyday life. From a young age, I learned responsibility by helping care for our dogs, cats, calves, and other farm animals. One of my favourite memories is participating in my primary school’s calf club, where I always did well and loved the chance to show the bond I had with my animals. Those experiences taught me the importance of patience and kindness when looking after pets.

Now that I’m living in Christchurch for university, I’m separated from the animals I grew up with, and I really miss having them around. Pet sitting gives me the perfect opportunity to fill that gap while helping others by providing their pets with the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own.
