Part-time Dog Walker Position Available
Hi!
We have not long moved up from Wellington to be closer to family and to franchise our dog walking business here (www.houndhiking.com). We are looking for a part time dog walker to help take 3-4 hikes a week regularly for us. Each hike is 1-1.5 hours long and we go to a variety of off leash hikes as far out as Ocean Beach so the hikes take 3-4 hours when including driving to collect and drop dogs off (from all over Hawkes Bay). Start time is 8:30/9am (days flexible at this stage, but Monday-Friday). Dog confidence is important, as well as the ability to take great photos of the dogs (see photos below). The hounds are off leash the whole hike and we have a maximum of 7 hounds at a time. We provide full training plus a pet first aid course before you take hikes yourself. A full drivers license is a must. We provide the van to use but you will need to make your way & back to Hastings to collect it. Each hike is a fixed rate of $70 per hike and you'll be working as a contractor to us. If this sounds like you, or someone you know, please send me a message with some info of your experience with dogs and photography. Please only apply if you are looking for part time work not full time.
Thanks! Tabitha

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
