Hi All,

Due to Covid 19 I currently am out of work so making the best of the situation and looking to pursue work in my other passion which is animals :)

I am just sending out the message to say if anyone needs their dogs walked during the week I am available to do so and would charge $15 for a one hour walk.

I also have a fully fenced section and cosy home which I am open to having small/medium size dogs board if you need someone to look after your dogs while you are away :) I would charge $30 per night for this service.

I am currently studying animal behaviour and volunteering at a doggy daycare and have current pet first aid certificate so your dogs will be in good hands :)

Would love to help you out looking after your doggo so if you would like to get intouch please feel free to contact me via neighbourly and I will reply with my contact details.

Hi neighbours,

On Tuesday night, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced there were four new Covid-19 cases in the community.

Auckland moved into level 3 at midday on Wednesday, and the rest of the country into level 2.

Kiwis outside of Auckland can still continue to go to work and school, with physical distancing, and are advised to wear masks in public.

Businesses can open to the public if they are following public health guidance, which includes physical distancing and record keeping.

In terms of gatherings, New Zealanders must not travel to events with more than 100 people. This includes weddings, birthdays, funerals and tangihanga.

The Government advises all Kiwis to practise good hygiene and stay home if sick.
