Hi! I’m originally from New Zealand and have been living abroad for almost three years now. One of the things I miss most from home is my golden retriever and having a dog around for walks and cuddles.

Since I can’t have a pet of my own here, I really enjoy spending time with other people’s animals. I’ve always grown up with pets — both dogs and cats — so being around them just feels normal to me. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing, or just hanging out at home, I’m always happy to keep them company (though honestly it often feels like they’re keeping me company).

I work a hybrid job, which means my schedule is pretty flexible during the week. That makes it easier for me to fit in walks, drop-ins, or spending some time with pets during the day if needed.
