Hello! My name is Emma, I'm 22, and I'm a big animal lover. Growing up with both cats, dogs, and small animals have made them a huge part of my life. Sharing care with my parents' dog means I understand how difficult it can be to find loving and safe care for your fur baby while away. I don't like the idea of my dog being stuck in a kennel or not getting any attention. Subsequently, I'm offering a loving home for your pets!
I live in a medium-sized, quiet home in a pet-friendly countryside area. The property is just on the outskirts of Carterton so central if coming from the Wairarapa. We have a 3 hectare property for your pets to play in (it's not fully fenced so typically on lead along with my own dog) and I'm happy for cats to have either indoor or 24/7 outdoor access. As an active person, I can offer up to 2 daily walks in morning or afternoon (up to 90 mins total), a run or a hike depending on the preferences and needs of your pet - and of course lots of playtime and cuddles and trips to off-lead parks. This applies to at my own home or if house sitting at yours.
I am recently graduated and I spend a lot of time at home so can offer care and supervision - I tend to only be out for 2-3 hours at a time. If required, I can stay with the dogs at all times. I'm happy to adapt based on what's needed.
We currently have a small pet Lowchen dog in the home, Charlie. He is very friendly and playful and gets along well with other dogs. I also live with my parents, who all work daily and are big animal lovers also!
I can board up to 2 other dogs at one time. Scratches and cuddles are a necessity. Pets can sleep in the lounge or with Charlie in the bedrooms. I've gained experience from raising both cats and dogs from young all my life - although I have not had experience caring for a senior dog as of yet.
Dogs must be vaccinated and up to date with worm and flea treatments as there are other animals in the neighbouring area. Please contact me if you have any questions or want to know more!
There are sheep and cows in neighbouring paddocks, as well as ducks and chickens on the property. This should be fine for most dogs as they will be kept on lead, however, if you know your pet may have a problem with this please let me know.
