Hello, :) I am offering my services to come to your home and look after your fur baby or babies while you travel or attend events. I feel pets are better in their own environment and it is nice they can still have their usual routines. I have experience from over 40 past house sits over the last 3 1/2 years and have enjoyed caring for many different adorable dogs of all sizes and cute cats of all colours and personalities. I was a pet owner myself and had several cats and then 2 dogs, Danny, who was a 16 yr old Cocker Spaniel and also Luci a Spoodle. I have also previously been a homeowner for 40 years and nearly 5 years was on a lifestyle block which i really enjoyed. I am also comfortable on small rural properties with chickens and livestock. I have 4 grown children and 2 grandchildren who live in Austria. i am currently single and a non smoker, and I have worked in the cleaning industry so always like a clean environment and will leave your home as i find it or cleaner. The main area i do house/pet sits is in the BOP area, as my hometown was Rotorua but mainly i am in the Tauranga/ Papamoa area. Generally i take dogs for 2 walks a day unless your dog has any issues or is better exercised on the property. I have my own vehicle so can also take your dog to a market, beach or cafe if they are use to outings and good with other dogs and people. I like to do at least 1 or maybe a 2nd visit before the sit to meet up and during the sit i do updates using messenger or Whats app and can send photos or video. In the event of any emergency i just ask that there is written down 1 or 2 contacts who are nearby during the sit and are happy to be available if needed. No problem to give your pet medication but in pill or liquid form only. Happy to do basic brushing for grooming if needed. Never had an anxious pet as feel they get use to me pretty quick and i am ok with pets on my bed at night if they like the company and use to this. I enjoy the beach environment, doing walks and just getting out in nature. :)
