I've been fortunate to spend most of my life caring for others. I've been a nanny in London, a nurse in Wellington, and now I'm a mum in Island Bay. Caring for people—and animals—has always come naturally to me.

After many years of nursing, I found dog sitting was a wonderful way to continue doing what I love most—caring for others. It's become such a rewarding part of my life. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality as well as meeting their owners. It's been lovely to welcome many dogs back for repeat stays and get to know both them and their families.

Over the years I've cared for energetic farm dogs, family pets, and elderly dogs with special needs. My nursing background means I'm calm under pressure, attentive to detail, and confident caring for dogs with different needs.

While my children are at school, I have the time and flexibility to give your dog plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise. We live close to Wellington's beautiful south coast, as well as forest and marine reserves, and I'd love your dog to come along on my daily adventures.

Your dog will be welcomed into our warm family home alongside our friendly mini doodle, who enjoys canine company but is also happy to give quieter dogs their space. My partner works from home most days, so there's usually another friendly adult around too.

My aim is for your dog to feel completely at home with us, so you can relax knowing they're safe, loved, and treated like one of the family.
