I am currently studying a Certificate of Canine behaviour and training through Unitec. While this is my first formal learning of Canine behaviour and training before starting this I have done many shorter online trainings through different avenues. 

I have been in the retail pet industry for the last 4 years so have a wide knowledge on a variety of pets. 

I have grown up around dogs mainly working farm dogs and am fortunate to now have two dogs of my own. For the last 4 years I've been training my eldest dog for competitive obedience and agility and really enjoy the bonding time I have with each dog during training.

I have decided to offer myself and space for pet sitting services as while having my dogs have often been the one looking for someone to care for my dogs while away so am aware of how hard this can be and the importance of finding someone that you trust with your dog! 

I'm happy to take dogs into my home that are vaccinated, up to date with flea tick and worm treatment (this is important due to being rural) good with other dogs, and crate trained. 

**A meet a greet prior to any dog boarding is a must.**

While your dog is in my care they will be treated as if they were my own. They will receive different forms of enrichment while at home such as Licki mats, kongs, shredding or puzzles and will also be receiving walks the same as my dogs would get, with weekends being slightly longer walks and more adventurous. 

Im happy to ensure any medical needs are met such as medication, ensuring dietary restrictions are maintained and if required washing after any adventures if prone to skin allergies.

Im fortunate to live on 2 acres of private land, while also only being a short drive away from the beach! We are also frequent use of riverhead forest which will be used for walks.

We will only take on a maximum of 2 boarding dogs at time due to space and to ensure all needs are met of each dog. Most boarding will be weekends due to being able to be with the dogs as during the week I have to work if you require longer this can be arranged however they maybe left alone for a longer period of time this will all be discussed prior.

Our household is made up of myself and partner and our 2 dogs!!

Boarding dogs will be required to sleep in their crates during night however as long as they’re clean are allowed on all furniture during the day time (if dirty they will be cleaned). 

Our backyard is fully fenced with the lowest part being 7 wire farm fencing, however this has chicken mesh on it so there wont be any escaping!

I look forward to hearing from you and how we can help with your pet.
