Jess

I run a house and garden maintenance business with my partner, Aaron, in Timaru. I have always had cats and dogs, and have had rabbits, Guinea pigs, rats, fish, chickens and lambs in the past. My childhood dogs were Saint Bernards and Newfoundlands, and I currently have two minis. I love all animals and am especially mad about cats. I am often asked by friends and neighbours to pet sit for them and would love to offer my big animal shaped heart out to others in the community.

At this stage service-wise I can offer:

- house visits, feeding and playing with lots of pats 1-2 times a day

- daily maintenance of litter boxes, hutches, coops, lawn poop etc

- daily dog walking

I can administer oral and needle medicine and am happy to do minor grooming tasks such as nail trimming, eye cleaning and brushing/combing. If I have concerns about anything I will be quick to get in contact with you and am able to make vet visits if necessary.

I am unable to offer to bring any animals into my home at this stage, as we are in the middle of renovations so everything is a bit chaotic inside. We also own a lifestyle block down by the Jack's Point Lighthouse which we will be building on once our renovations here are complete, so down the track I will be able to offer an inside catio for long term cat stays, as well as a great zoomy area for dogs.
