Kia ora, I'm Jo! 👋🏼

I am an experienced pet sitter / walker / carer and animal connoisseur, available for one-off or recurring jobs.

I've always loved animals growing up and owned a range of pets as a child; I started small and used to collect snails, praying mantis's and other bugs (weird, I know) before graduating to actual pets such as finches, budgies, cockatiels, several bunnies (my favourite animal) and eventually a big black Labrador named Spike! 🐶

Since moving out of home and flatting, I've unfortunately not had the opportunity to own a pet, but I always jump at the chance to take care of my friends animals (mainly dogs) when they are heading out of town and need a sitter - so this app allows me to combine the best of both worlds!

I've outlined some specifics about my services below, so please get in touch if you think i'd be a good fit for your needs and for your furry friend!

Dog Walking: 🐾

I am a fit outdoorsy person (thanks in part to tramping and my keenness for running/walking). Weather permitting, I tend to walk or run between 8-10km around the bays or South Coast - so a perfect companion for dogs that require a fair bit of exercise. I can tailor this to suit the pup i.e if it's a smaller dog that only requires minimal exercise. Either way, I'll be doing some sort of walk and happy to do it at a time that suits. I'm confident in handling two pups at a time.

House-sitting / Visits: 🏠

I am comfortable minding pets at the owners property, dependant on proximity and requirements - typically this will involve daily walks etc. I have experience doing short to medium-term sits. Happy to chat further on specifics!
