Hi, pet parents! 🐾

We’re Anya & Vlad, a couple based in Tauranga

and for the past 3 years, we’ve been opening our home to dogs.

What you should know about us:

🐶 3+ years of experience hosting and caring for dogs, both in our home and in clients’ homes — many repeat clients and long-term sits

🤍 Extremely reliable: we’ve never cancelled a booking (there are always two of us, which gives extra peace of mind)

🏡 We both work from home, which means dogs are rarely left alone

🌿 We focus on quality care, not quantity — dogs get attention, routine, and companionship

🌊 Big fans of walks, parks, and beach time (always tailored to the dog)

Current setup (important):

🚫 We are temporarily not offering daycare or boarding at our home, as Anya’s sister is staying with us for a few months and is unfortunately allergic to dogs

✅ We are fully available for house-sitting and in-home pet care — and love it

🕰️ Once the situation changes, we’ll happily reopen home boarding again

Our care style:

🌸 Dogs are treated like family — calm, respectful, and attentive care

🧡 We enjoy gentle engagement: walks, simple enrichment, routine, and downtime

🧠 Anya has a strong interest in dog behaviour and psychology and brings that awareness into everyday care (without harsh or rigid training methods)

House & pet care extras:

🏡 Alongside pet and house sitting, we can also help with additional home-care tasks while you’re away. These services are optional and charged separately, and are ideal if you’d like a bit of extra peace of mind. This can include things like regular check-ins, garden or plant care, coordinating trades, basic property checks, and other small tasks to help keep your home running smoothly.

💬 If you’re interested in anything beyond pet care, feel free to ask — happy to chat

If you’re looking for experienced, calm, and dependable sitters who genuinely enjoy spending time with animals — we’d love to hear from you 🐾
