Experienced Dog Walker & Gardener Available
Hello neighbours!
Many people these days find themselves just too busy to get their dogs out for the regular walks they require, or keep on top of those forever-growing gardens. This is where I can come along and help you out!
I am an experienced dog owner myself, and have also studied veterinary nursing, so you know your beloved pet will be in safe, responsible hands. Last year I worked my way around Europe helping out in gardens ranging from little private courtyards through to landscape designing a rural French wedding venue.
During my travels I spent 2 weeks living and working at an amazing dog boarding facility in Switzerland, walking the dogs and tending to their large section. The family who ran the facility have provided a reference letter I can share with you.
Price by negotiation depending on work required and hours. Call or message me for a chat to see if I am the right person for your pooch or garden needs :)
Cheers,
Emma

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
