Kia ora!
I'm Nina and I can't wait to meet your pets!
I've been a zoo keeper for the last 5 years and have previously studied vet nursing. I have experience working as a dog handler at a doggy daycare, and have also worked with dogs and cats in vet clinics and rescue centres. Through these jobs I've worked with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and temperaments - as well as working with lions, tigers and dingoes ;)
I also have experience with fish, rats and mice, turtles, guinea pigs and rabbits, chickens, birds, sheep and pigs.
I absolutely love animals and will do my absolute best to keep your loved ones happy and healthy.
I'm currently living in a tiny home 10 minutes from Te Rapa, that has a fully fenced section and lots of places to sniff and explore. I'm available for doggy daycare where I can look after your dog at my house for the day or a few hours if needed, house visits and dog walks up to two hours. I'm happy walking multiple dogs at a time as long as they get along with each other. I have a car so can also do drop offs and pick ups if needed for a small extra charge!
I have two cats who have been around dogs in the past and a frog who I've had for over 10 years!
