Do you, or someone you know, need a caring house and cat sitter late April/mid May 2024?
I’m booked for most of 2024 but I have a gap between the below dates:
AVAILABILITY
20 April 2024 to 14 May, 2024 (24 days)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you prefer the peace-of-mind of 'in-home' care, I can help with that. If you don't have any pets but prefer your home looks lived-in, I can help with that too.
ABOUT ME
I’m retiring late-June and am currently planning my van fit-out before heading off to finish hiking the rest of the great walks and Bikepacking wherever. I currently work full time as a Documentation Specialist for a software company Monday to Friday in the Auckland CBD and ride to work most days. I do gardening, mow lawns, pull weeds, clean pools…whatever is required to keep your home looking ‘loved and lived in’.
SUBURBS
Any homes located in or on the fringes of these suburbs: St Heliers, Mission Bay, Orakei, Glendowie, Remuera, Meadowbank, Kohimarama, St Johns, Newmarket, Parnell, Ponsonby, Herne Bay, Pt Chev.
Happy to pay for water, gas, power and internet usage.
Please reply to this post or just send me a personal message via Messenger or Facebook - I'm very easy to find.
Advice on hedgehog please
Hi neighbours
We seem to have a hedgehog walking around our lawn for the last few days during the day. We thought it was just a one off when we first saw him/her and put some bread out soaked in milk ( have since learned that this isn’t good ) but he’s been seen a few other times since. When we tried to pick him up I noticed his eye was closed or crusty almost and he had a patch where the spikes were missing ( is this mange ?)
We don’t know what to do to get it help. Does anyone know if there’s a rescue type place that can help?
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
