North Shore Dog Walks 🐶🐕 🌲 🏝️ @ Auckland

Hi I’m Christina and I am here because I absolutely love animals. I am fanatic and really do this because I have so much love to give. Every animal that has been trusted to come into my care has ended up becoming a regular and I really pride myself on that as it shows that the genuine love I have for the animals is reciprocated and I love that my purpose includes making people feel safe that their beloved family members are safe and loved while they are away.
My darling Keira passed away a few months ago at 16 1/2 years old. My sweet girl. Before that we had my family dog who also lived shy of 17, Max. I have so much love to give and want to extend it on to the pet community.

Other skills

My house and pet sitting jobs in have included going to other people’s homes and inviting repeat canine friends into my home. From staying on a NZ lifestyle block with two vivacious Collies and a paddock of sheep, to regular caring of a beautiful but very sick Mastiff with an auto-immune disease, a pair of Spaniels; one with a hip condition and the other who needs daily ear treatment, senior dogs with arthritis, Dementia and rescue dogs with PTSD and severe anxiety from my time working and living full time at a dog rescue for high needs and last chance rescues (mostly large bully breeds) and at a doggy day care. I have administered twice daily Insulin to a cat i sit for and also cared for horses. Regarding homes; I have lived and worked in luxury properties and lodges and stayed at lovely day to day homes which has added a wealth of experience additionally to housesitting jobs. Whatever your place I will respect it and look after it and hope to have you return better than how you left it. At the dog rescue I was trained in weed eating, ride on mowing for 17acres, general gardening, pool care, native bush care and more. You could say I have become quite a green finger or at least can work my way around the tools when I need to! My favourite part is and always will be the animals and I pride myself on making sure you come home to a sparkly clean home.
