About Amy

I have previous experience pet sitting and house sitting for many years and can provide references on request.

I have experience looking after cats, dogs, horses, sheep, chickens and cows. I have attention to detail and look out for changes in behaviour while animals are in my care. I have my own horses, work part time in a stable and grew up on a small farm raising calves and lambs as a kid. I am confident and at ease around animals. I am also very patient, so don't mind more difficult pets or those with lower levels of training.

I have my full drivers license and am happy to take pets on adventures at the request of the owner. I will provide daily updates as I know how worried I get when someone is looking after my pets 😊

Animal care and welfare have been my passions for many years, this has been the main driver for pursuing my career as a future veterinarian. I am currently part way through my degree at Massey University, I am a third year vet student.

I enjoy spending time with animals, I believe the more experience I am able to gain with a different range of pets and their personalities will make me a more well rounded and thorough vet in the future.

I offer house sitting either overnight or during the day, visits and exercise such as dog walking or horse lunging. 😇

Amy is a wonderful and thoughtful pet sitter. Our pets and house were in good hands when we went away. Great communication and conscientious pet sitter. Highly recommended!

+5 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
I have house sat and done daily check ins for a couple from the age of 11-18, this involved feeding cats, watering plants, opening windows and airing the house, and feeding/shifting farm animals. More recently, I house sat for a couple for 6 weeks, looking after their cat, dogs and working on their dairy farm. In every home and especially for stays like this, I treat the space as I would my own home and keep it tidy and clean. Leaving it orderly how I found it 😊
