Hi there! :) My name is Brittany, I am 30 and live in Darfield with my partner, our two young kids, two dogs and three cats. I am a Diploma qualified veterinary nurse, graduating in 2014 and have done some work in vet clinics with both domestic and exotic animals. I have also studied Unitec's Certificate in Animal Welfare Investigations in 2017. I currently work full time in the Animal Welfare industry and have done so for the last years. I am confident caring for all domestic species; cats, dogs, rabbits etc, as well as more exotic animals such as birds and reptiles and even some larger farm animals! I am confident in giving oral and injectable medications, competent in pet first aid and able to quickly recognise any signs of illness and injury and take action when necessary. I understand the different needs and requirements of younger vs elderly animals and have a great understanding of animal behaviour, behavioural issues and how to manage these. I have extensive experience working with shelter animals. You can expect regular photo updates and I am also happy to water plants, collect mail and do any other household tasks required at no extra cost! Please send me a message so we can discuss your pet sitting needs! **Note: I am currently not taking on new housesitting clients due to having a new baby. However I am available for visits including during usual work hours as I am on maternity leave until November 2026.
