Hi, I’m Megan, 24, and I moved to New Zealand this year with my partner from the UK. I’m a huge animal lover, and since I had to leave my golden retriever back in the UK, I’ve been missing that daily connection with pets. That’s part of what inspired me to start pet and dog sitting here in NZ—I love being around animals, and pet sitting is a great way for me to fill that gap and give pets the care and attention they need when their owners are away.

With my experience working at a doggy daycare, I’ve learned how to manage and care for all kinds of dogs, from energetic puppies to older, more sensitive ones. I’m also loving the chance to explore New Zealand, so combining that with pet sitting lets me see more of the country while doing something I’m passionate about—looking after animals.
