About John
Kia ora, I'm John. A jack of all trades in Rolleston.
I grew up around dogs, my mum was an English Cocker-Spaniel breeder and my Aunt did Lakeland Terriers. I wound up with my own 3yo cocker spaniel, Tosh.
We also had chickens, I have some experience with horses (Rugs, covers, cleaning out hooves, leading only) and I used to keep Budgies.
my work is flexible and sporadic, so I have a big gap in my schedule and it would be great to get out on walks and care for others animals.
I know how hard it is to organise cover and the pressure it feels to be away/at work from our loved ones. My job is to help ease that pressure while socialising with your furry friends (or feathered, scaled, etc)
I am able to water plants, clean, mow lawns, take out bins, and manage other small jobs around the house to help, while also caring for and socialising with pets.
Tosh is more than happy to join me for walks, visits, stays etc if your dog is good with other dogs.
if you have been teaching / training your dog a certain way I am more than happy to continue this when we go out.
If you think we could be of any help feel free to send a message & ask anything you like. I have my own transport.
