Dyani

Hiya, my name is Dyani and I am a 21 year old student at Otago University.

I grew up on a farm in Southland surrounded by a variety of small and large animals, and as such I developed a love of animals at a very young age. Some of my favourite childhood memories were helping my parents out on the farm with the deer, cows and sheep. I raised and was responsible for pet lambs and calves every year so spring was always my favourite time of the year. I also had two horses, and as a family we always had a cat. My mother worked as a vet nurse and practise manager for many years before my parents went farming, and she has passed a lot of animal care knowledge onto me.

I frequently looked after the neighbours farm dogs, family dog and chickens when they went away on holiday, and absolutely loved spending time with the dogs when I did so.

As I am currently flatting it has not been possible for me to have my own dogs or animals. I am really missing my pets at home and being around animals all the time, so I would love to meet your pets and be able to help out. I offer dog walking and am happy to do animal checkups at home too. Now that the university year is over I am free a lot of the time and am happy to fit in with whatever suits you and your pet best :) I have my own car and full driver's license and would be more than happy to take your dog on longer adventures.

My dog walks will be 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on where we go and what we do. For home visits I am able to administer medication, and I will clean trays (etc), organise feeding, and give your pet plenty of attention. I am also happy to do other general housekeeping tasks. The lengths of the home visits can be flexible depending on your pets' requirements. I look forward to hearing from you, please feel free to contact me with any questions :)
