Experienced animal-loving Kiwi who can WFH
Pet care experience
I have always loved being around animals. I started animal sitting and dog walking in high school. I've also looked after family dogs, cats and guinea pigs since childhood. I have looked after animals at all different stages (from puppy to elderly dog), including walking, playing, exercise, feeding and bathing. I have given animals medicine, and helped with crate and special tricks training.
Reviews
Harriet R. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Harriet was fantastic with our new rescue dog, June. She was really attentive and patient with us when we were explaining June’s routine. Harriet has a super friendly personality, which certainly came across and made June almost instantly feel relaxed around her. Harriet was very respectful of our home. She was also great managing the situation with June and our cat, Badger. Would highly recommend.
Harriet stepped in at the last moment for another sitter who cancelled, which I hugely appreciated! Atlas is an anxious dog but Harriet was very confident and Atlas soon got used to her to the point that when Harriet left he tried to follow her out!! Harriet clearly has a lot of experience with dogs (even dogs like Atlas who can be slightly anxious on first meeting a new person) and she was very reliable.
Everything was easy to organise and came home to a very happy dog.

I have a nice flat with friendly flatmates that also love animals. However sadly I am unable to look after pets in my own flat. There are plenty of parks in my area. I love going on long walks to Victoria Park or Mile End. I am a clean and tidy guest. I also have a green thumb (my mum is a gardener) so can keep your indoor plants alive whilst you're away.

Information Harriet R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs that I can accommodate for. This includes if and how long your pet can be alone.
A typical day
I like playing games with pets I sit whether that's throwing a ball or practising any special tricks they have. I love going on walks and can fit around the needs of your dog, short or long walks. I live near Victoria Park and Mile End so there's loads of green space options.
