Hi fellow Animal Lovers! I’m originally from the beautiful Cotswolds in England, but I have been calling NZ home since 2006. I arrived here in the middle of my OE and picked up a "temporary" job to fund my travels ... which turned into a 12-year adventure on its own.

Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Before moving to NZ, I shared my home with everything from dogs and cats to parrots, mice and rats. After years without pets, I embarked on a fabulous house-sitting adventure in May 2023 and had an amazing time caring for all sorts of wonderful pets while exploring parts of Auckland I might never have discovered otherwise.

This journey eventually led me to buy my own home and finally welcome my long-awaited furry family. Frankie is a very happy and friendly chocolate Labrador (2023), who can't think of anything better than playing with her doggy friends. Billie is a springer spaniel (2024) who is equally friendly, very intuitive, and a snuggle bug.

After many years working as an accountant, raising Frankie sparked a new passion. I became fascinated by puppy development and training, which led me to complete a Certificate in Canine Behaviour and Training in 2025.

I'm currently available for training walks for dogs and puppies, where I can help work on leash manners and recall. I do like to use a long line when safe, so they also have a chance for a "sniffari". I'm available for dog walking most evenings and weekends. I can also help with basic obedience training.

I look forward to hearing from you :)
Judith
