I’ve been running my pet care business for over 9 years. It started out casual but has grown into a professional, almost full-time service. I’m based in the Bay of Plenty and mainly service Tauranga and surrounding areas, with pet sitting available outside the region on special occasions.

I’ve worked as a dog groomer, at doggy daycares (including those run by canine behaviourists), and alongside dog trainers — always learning more about animal care and behaviour. I’ve also fostered and rehomed dogs and cats throughout my life, which has been incredibly rewarding.

After taking a short break to focus on my health and other projects, I’m excited to be back running the business and even looking to expand my team soon.
