Hiya! My name is Sarah and I have a HUGE love for animals of all kinds.

I’ve grown up surrounded by pets my whole life — dogs, cats, little lambs, guinea pigs — you name it. I now live in Stanmore Bay with my big chilled-out ragdoll, Peanut, and my newly rescued kitten, Humphrey, who is a bit of a crazy boy but brings so much fun into the house.

I work full-time during the week and am currently working on my fourth and final year of social work at Massey University, so I’m only able to take on bookings where pets are comfortable being on their own during the day. I can always be there mornings and evenings, and I’m available overnight Monday–Friday, plus weekends for visits and walks.

My love for animals also shows up at my part-time job in a little ECE centre in Wainui — we’ve had all sorts of animals visit, from puppies and kittens to lambs, horses, bunnies, and even the odd frog!

People describe me as bubbly, kind, genuine, and trustworthy, and I really enjoy meeting new people and their lovely pets. While I can’t host animals in my own home, I’m super happy to travel and care for them in their own environment where they feel safest.

What I offer:

• Overnight stays (with your pet happy to relax during the day while I’m at work)

• House visits and dog walking any day of the week

• Walks from 30–60 mins — beach, park, estuary, whatever suits your dog

• Routine feeding, playtime, enrichment, grooming (if needed)

• House tasks like watering plants, collecting mail, light tidying, etc.

I always follow whatever your pet’s normal routine is and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and updates while you’re away.

Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies! 🐾💛
