Hi, I am Saskia. 

I am employed full time so am only able to provide walks outside normal business hours and on weekends. I love all animals and I am a very experienced dog walker. I have worked with dogs, puppies, kittens and cats of all sizes and ages. 

My mother owns Leonburns Kennels and has bred Leonbergers for the last 20+ years. She also has miniature horses, cats, sheep, cows, chickens, ducks and most recently doves. I have worked with her off and on for years assisting with showing, training, grooming, feeding and breeding so I have a wealth of experience with the handling and care of dogs and other animals. I have also worked in New Zealand with two boisterous German Shepherds, two gorgeous Japanese Spitz, a pug and daschund pair, multiple GSP's, Schnauzer sisters, a large mastiff cross and many puppies of all breeds. I have also cared for many different cats, some with special needs.

In England I worked with with two fox terrier crosses, and a pack containing an adorable long haired chihuahua and two sweet shitzus. I have owned two English Staffordshire terriers, one English Bull terrier, two chihuahuas and four cats.

Walks are 30 minutes but can be reduced for senior dogs or young puppies. Home visits are usually 30 minutes unless discussed. Longer home visits will incur a further charge. I am happy to feed, water and play with any animals you have and can water plants, check mail and clean up any messes! 

I own a car, have a full NZ license and am willing to travel, however I may need to charge for travel for trips over 15 minutes one way due to the price of gas! I am more than happy to discuss you and your pets' needs. I will do my best to be as flexible as possible to accommodate you. I can provide walks, home visits, short term pet sitting, overnights, feeding, medication and some grooming. Feel free to contact me to further discuss how I can help.
