Your dogs new best friend! ~ Reliable and trustworthy :)

I have recently moved to Christchurch and miss my dogs back home in Ireland very much so would love to care for yours! I grew up with a dog my whole life and can’t imagine life without them! I adore dogs and think that they’re the best companions and so would do my best to care for yours. 
I have previous experience in dog walking/sitting for other people which I did a number of times back home. I also have personal experience with my own dogs, one of which I cared for from when he was a puppy to when he was very old.My family has also had the addition of two new pups and so I'm well aware of all the energy and care that is needed for them!
If you need your dog walked, checked on during the day or even just some play time and belly rubs I would love to help out!
