Meet the Host Families

I live in Stoke with my 2 children Anna (18) and Anton (14).

I have my own business, so am able to work from home and Anton is keen to have a dog of his own, so this is the best solution!

We have lots of love to give your dog, a nice spacious sunny section.

I live in Atawhai with my parents and am a causal dog walker/pet sitter without any pets of our own.

I have a Level 3 Certification in Animal Care, completed an accredited animal psychology course online and completed a pet sitting/dog walking course to enhance my skills.

I’m now enrolled in the Karen Pryor comprehensive dog behavior course and have over a year of experience volunteering at the SPCA, where I developed a passion for improving animal lives.

It’s my dream to look after people’s animals while they’re away from home, whether it’s walking their dogs or pet sitting.

We live in Tahuna with our adult daughter & 4 year old Border Collie, Bingo.

We enjoy looking after many of our friends dogs and now have opened up our home to others, now I am retired and Gigi works part time. Living minutes from the beach, your dog will get to enjoy many beach walks and heaps of TLC! 

We live on 4.6 hectares on the outskirts of Richmond with our son Coby, who is well trained around dogs and cat, Zippy.

As the business owner, I work from home managing the business and enjoy the dogs the groups of dogs coming to our small farm for fun and frolics.

I live in a spacious section in Stoke with my 11 year old son and my 4 year old fur son, Franky, the Golden Retriever. 

Franky is part of the St Johns Therapy Pet programme, so you might see us at the Nelson or Stoke library on Saturdays, spreading the love.  Franky has also worked as a Wellbeing Dog at NMIT, so is super chilled and great with young and old, both human and fuzzy. 

We just love having new doggos to stay at our home - all the different breeds and personalities make it the best job in the world. :-)  

I live in Motueka on a large section with my Australian Terrier, Buddy and an aviary of canaries. 

I have had dogs my whole life and am now enjoying retirement spending time in the garden and socialising with friends. Buddy is very social too and loves friends coming to stay and play.

I live in Stoke on a spacious section and am enjoying retirement except for the fact I miss having a dog around the place, so I started with Pet Sitters in 2017!

I have welcomed many dogs into my home over the years and have lots of regulars to come and stay!

We live in the Atawhai and are retired. We no longer have a dog of our own , but have often cared for our daughters dog.

I volunteer at the hospice shop and enjoy going for walks in the mornings. John has enjoyed many years working at the Nelson golf course.

I live in Enner Glynn and until recently shared my life with my 17 year old Jack Russell, Teddy.   I miss having him around the house and have lots of love to give someone elses dog. 

I have experience with large dogs too and lead an active lifestyle walking around the hills and I also enjoy line dancing, gardening and drama.
