Hi there, I'm Merrin!
I'm a lifelong animal lover based in West Auckland, where I share my home with my husband, our dog, and our cat. I offer personalized dog walking and pet sitting services designed to meet the unique needs of both your pet and you in Central/West Auckland
Whether you have a puppy, senior pet, baby animals, reptiles, guinea pigs, rats—or anything in between—I’m happy to care for them either in my own home or yours. I also offer house visits or overnight stays for larger animals or pets who are more comfortable in their familiar surroundings.
Having grown up around a wide variety of animals, I bring years of hands-on experience, empathy, and a genuine passion for animal welfare. I know every pet (and pet parent!) has their own routines, preferences, and quirks—and I’m more than happy to follow detailed care instructions to ensure your furry, feathered, or scaled friend is safe, comfortable, and loved.
I treat every animal with the same love and respect I give my own—no matter their species, size, or special needs (as long as they're safe to be around, of course!).
Note: A small mileage charge applies for travel over 40km from my home.
