Hi, my name is Islay (pronounced i-la). I grew up with pets, and have a big love for animals of all shapes and sizes. Growing up, we had cats, a dog, and even rabbits. I have pet-sat and looked after friends and family's animals, including once a small farm with a big friendly pig! I am experienced with multiple sizes of dog and cat, and I am not averse to other friendly pets :) I am a big dog-lover and walks around Oriental Parade always bring me joy when there are all of the different breeds of dogs out on their walks.
I am enjoying city-life in Wellington, working full-time, but I do miss my pets at my family home - a border-collie x retriver called Charlie, and a bichon frise called Tess - I love visiting home and enjoying their company & walks with them. We used to have two SPCA cats when I was younger and they were great personalities to have around, I miss them both dearly.
I'd love to be able to enjoy the company & friendship of a pet at this stage in my life where I would like to be able to give back and ease the load for someone. I know how hard it is to find someone reliable to petsit! I am not at a stage where I can own a pet (due to moving overseas in July 24), so I would love to pamper yours in the meantime!
I am open to short-term house sits and/or checking in on your pet while you're away - what would work best is if you're happy for my partner to keep me company. I can water your plants, tidy up, pop a load of washing on for you - whatever you need! I am active and fit, I exercise everyday and enjoy my daily walk - however I would love to walk & adventure with a canine friend - could this be your lovely pup?
I live in Churton Park, so if you live nearby, even better. Can't wait to hear from you!

Islay was fantastic looking after Otto and a lovely person. She was very patient when we had a bit of a challenge on timing and left the house very clean. Would definitely recommend and would book with Islay again.
Amazing house and pet sitters!!!!!! Our labradpoodle Mac is so happy and looked after on our return and the house has been immaculate both times ....can't recommend enough ans will definitely be using Islay again :)
