Kia ora all,

I'm Karl and have plenty of experience in looking after furry family members over the years and actually spent my first 10 months in NZ (I'm a UK Londoner originally, moving here in 2016), dog sitting and looking after Lola, a rescue Lab/Staffy cross with some extra requirements and behavioural ticks that needed special attention.

I grew up with cats and dogs, including a cantankerous Jack Russell and a far more gentlemany German Shepard... Cyrus, who was an absolute legend and a dear, dear lad that I thought the world of. Since then I've housesat and cared for an even wider range of family floofs, quite literally from Poms to Danes and even more recently, introduced a new addition to my own home, Lazlo! He's another GSD and has won me over already.

Am open to include Lazlo on walks or introducions with your own dog, if that works and they're happy to have a friend on walks or have play dates to help socialise as might suit and be needed. He's a very big hearted, friendly fella so I'd be more than happy to bring him along to make friends.

I'm currently in the midst of studying to become a tattoo artist from my own business so can make my own hours and am generally available throughout the day and weekends at short notice, and am already a keen walker in the city and know a number of handy green routes that allow for interesting trots around the area. I'm very flexible to suit your requirements and good to chat about what works best for your own schedule.

I can also provide references and any other info as needed, so drop me and the pup a line anytime and we can see what fits.
