Reliable Animal Lover with Hands-on Experience in Pet Care and Dog Walking

My name is Anna and I really enjoy being around pets because I’ve grown up with them my whole life, and they’ve always felt like a natural part of my everyday life. I love how each animal has its own personality, and I find it rewarding to understand their different moods, needs, and ways of communicating. Being with pets is something I genuinely enjoy because it feels calm, grounding, and meaningful to me.

I currently have two cats back home in Denmark, and I’ve been around cats since I was very young. I’m very familiar with their routines and behaviour, and I’m used to taking care of all the daily responsibilities like feeding, cleaning, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience helping with my family’s dogs, including walking them and looking after their daily needs, as well as taking care of a neighbour’s cat.

Growing up, I also spent a lot of time on my grandparents’ farm, where I was around dogs, cats, and horses. This has helped me become very comfortable with animals in general and confident in different situations. Over time, I’ve learned that patience, calm energy, and consistency are important when working with animals, and I always try to adapt to what each pet needs in the moment.

For me, being around animals is not just something I enjoy—it’s something I naturally connect with and care deeply about.

Activity summary

Why you should consider me :)

Over the years, I’ve looked after cousins, family friends kids, and neighbour’s children. This taught me not just the basics of childcare, but also patience, responsibility as well as how to create a warm and safe environment. I’m very mindful of routines, safety guide, clear communication which I know will be the best for the children as well as for me. I make sure to keep parents updated so they always feel connected and reassured. Babysitting has never been a job for me but something I’ve grown up with and genuinely love doing. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, whether it may be helping with homework, preparing snacks, playing games or simply listening to their stories. I’m excited for the opportunity to support another family and provide reliable, caring help whenever needed.

An experienced pet sitter/walker from Christchurch. If you looking for someone reliable to take care of your pets while you short on time or leaving for some time, I can be there for you. Good with pretty much every pet, I’m ok to work with rescued animals or animals with problems, please tell me in advance if your pet need just a little bit more love and patience, we can deal with it (if you promise they won’t eat me, my cats need me). Same as you free to ask my id, I may also want to see your pets vaccinations passport. I have my pets and I work with other animals, I want your pet and all other pets to be safe and healthy. If you need the pet/home check, including feeding and cleaning while you are not at home, I would prefer to sign a contract for the period of time you want me to be there. It will make everyone safe and clear, all the duties will be there as well. For the dog walking, I would love to do that for you. Small dogs are as welcome same as big dogs, we don’t discriminate here. I’m strong enough to hold your big pup, if they still don’t like the words “no, no, no, please, we can’t go there”. The walk may include some running and toy play if your dog likes so. But poop bags are on you. We can make it a little bit cheaper, if it’s 3 or more walks weekly. And I’m sorry, I only work after 9.30 am. Meet and greet are charge free, but if you would like me to start right ahead it will be charged. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, will be happy to meet you and your pet!

Activity summary

Nursing student with a love for pets and walking.

Hi! My name is Liam, and I absolutely love animals — especially dogs! I’m also a nursing student, so caring for others, whether it's people or pets, is something that comes naturally to me. Although my schedule can be a bit unpredictable, I always make time for what I love most — helping others and caring for animals and kids alike.

I grew up on a farm, so I have plenty of experience with all sorts of dogs and animals, as well as caring for younger children in different settings. I’ve spent a lot of time walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. The same goes for kids — I’m patient, understanding, and always focused on making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

Whether it's a quick walk around the block, some playtime in the park, hanging out and keeping your pet company while you're away, or babysitting your little ones, I’m committed to making sure everyone feels loved and well taken care of. For safety, I only accept pets that are fully vaccinated and leash-trained, and I’m happy to follow any routines or guidelines you have for your children.

If you’re looking for someone dependable and compassionate who will treat your pets and kids like family, I would be honored to help!
