Hiya! My name is Sarah (19y) and I have a HUGE love for animals of all kind. I have always been surrounded by animals throughout my life from dogs and cats, to little lambs and Guinea pigs! I am flatting in Stanmore Bay and was able to take my 20 year old cat along with me! Although he's getting pretty ancient with age, he has lots of fun and loves the company of my 5 other flatmates. My love for animals extends to my part time job at a little ece-centre in the Wainui. We have had all sorts of animals come in, from puppies, kittens, lambs, horses, bunnies and even the occasional frog!

When I'm not working, I'm at Massey university studying a bachelors degree of social work which I hope to complete at the end of 2026. I have a passion for people, and those around me would confidently say I'm a bubbly, kind, genuine, and trust worthy girl!

The idea of pet-sitting/house-sitting really interested me as I love putting myself out there and getting to meet new people and their lovely animals. I'm super flexible with my time and can work around your schedule! Although I am not able to pet-sit at my own home, I am super happy to travel and meet the needs of animals in their own environment.

My availability is super flexible and I can organise my time to work with the pet and the pet owners. I'm available Monday through to Friday for overnight stays and am available Monday through to Sunday for any house visits/dog walking. My dog-sitting services will include whatever is in the dogs usual routine. Whether that is one or two walks a day, routine feedings, quality play time, and also grooming.

During home visits, I'm happy to stay however long is needed. My uni is flexible and I can do my study at any location which makes things easy. I am available to do tasks such as watering plants, bringing in mail, dusting etc. The lengths of the dog walks can differ from half an hour - 2 hours as I am relatively fit! I am happy and confident to take the dog to the beach or to an estuary walk/park.

During overnight stays, I am able to be there for the mornings/evenings. If I do have to go to work that day then I am happy to do any dog walking in the morning before I leave, or if full time attention is needed throughout the day, I can prioritise that over my usual work.
