Hi! My name is Wanxin, a friendly neighbourhood petsitter who has previously taken care of my own dog, who passed away peacefully at 13 years old 🐶 I also have around three years of hands-on experience caring for other animals, including dogs (labradors, maltese, shitzu, huntsway, pomsky) , cats (british shorthair, ragdoll) chickens, goats, and cows (this was when I was in New Zealand)— and I’m always excited to learn how to care for other pets too. Every pet has their own needs - for instance, for big dogs, I have been told to keep them tight on their leashes in case anything happens. I had 3 dogs under my care at one point of time😂 For smaller dogs, it is more about protecting them during walks as they tend to get feisty as well. For cats, especially for those that are staying with other cats, it could be about ensuring each cat gets to eat from their own bowl (e.g. preventing one cat from stealing food from the other cat's bowl). I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves playtime, belly rubs, or simply having calm company around, I look forward to learning about their personality and needs. What I offer: ✅ Personalised pet care — feeding, playtime, companionship, and cuddles ✅ Regular updates and photos so you can travel with peace of mind ✅ Reliable and respectful house visits / house sitting ✅ Patience with shy, anxious, or senior pets ✅ Basic medication administration (if needed and with instructions) If applicable: My walks are usually up to 30 minutes, but special arrangements can be discussed if required. During visits, I’ll also make sure your pets have fresh water and a clean environment. For house sitting, I only take bookings when I’m working remotely or on my off days, so your pets can have proper supervision and company throughout the day, as I understand the importance of ensuring your pet(s) are not alone and have someone to turn to. Of course, there will be times where I run errands and will be out of the house for a few hours. In terms of availability, I currently work remotely 80% of the time (4 out of 5 days on average) so am quite flexible, though I’m happy to discuss the exact schedules and arrangements. Dog walking / housesitting areas: - Queenstown area I also appreciate knowing your pet’s health condition (e.g. asthma or hip issues), dietary needs (e.g. mix 50% dry and 50% wet food) , routines (e.g. where they like to be walked, what time they would usually be fed) , triggers (e.g. seeing other dogs), and emergency contacts (e.g. trusted friend/relative/preferred vet to go to) beforehand so I can provide the best and safest care possible. In case of emergencies, I stay calm and take immediate action: 1. Assess the situation and ensure your pet is safe. 2. Contact you right away with updates. 3. Reach out to your preferred vet (or a nearby clinic if urgent) 4. Follow through with necessary care based on professional advice Note: I don’t offer pet boarding in my own home at the moment. If you're looking for a reliable, attentive and genuine caring sitter, I'd love to chat with you and see how I can come in to care for your pets. Cheers, Wanxin
