Kia ora, I'm Janine (female, English, mid 40s) and I love animals and I have cared for a variety of animal species, which includes walking a mountain lion for 8 hours a day in the Bolivian jungle for a month, as well as volunteering with monkeys, caimens, dogs, an otter and coatis. I have also volunteeed at the Wellington Zoo, NZ and a zoo in Texas, USA. I have also completed month long house sitting for a few people in New Zealand which included beautiful cats and some chickens and I did a bit of gardening for the home owners too, I still regularly house and pet sit for two of the families.
I am interested in supporting you with your pet needs either in your home or in mine. I have a two bedroom home which I live in with a friend, a back garden, which is fenced however this is only approx 3-4ft high, so please take this into account when booking and consider your pets needs, HRV and a heat pump. I am based in Trentham, Upper Hutt with flexible working arrangements, which include working from home a few days a week.
What can I offer dog owners? Up to two dogs from the same home; Dog walking lengths will depend upon your dog, though I am training for a marathon so long walks are an option if needed, and I love hiking too; Two dog walks per day; depending on your dogs needs I can administer medicine; Sleeping arrangements/requirements are to be discussed for your dog.
What can I offer cat owners? My preference is to visit your home to care for your cat, feed then and give cuddles, this can be an overnight arrangement or once a day.
I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies.

Janine was the perfect dog sitter for our family pet Bruno, thanks so much. Mike
We had to cancel due to our own plans changing so our dog didn’t stay but Janine was great to deal with!
