Experienced Housesitter available
Hi
Short Notice - sitter available See dates below
I"m an experienced housesitter mature woman who loves animals and can almost call myself an animal whisperer. When I meet animals (pets) for the first time they often come up to me sit on me and hang around so they must be able to sense that I'm a nice person :)
I'm a non-smoker and non-drinker love gardening and live a fairly quiet life. I really enjoy looking after pets as haven't owned one of my own for quite a few years now. I had a ginger tabby for 10 years. I grew up with a menagerie of them including a milking goat and her 2 kids numerous cats dogs ducks sheep chooks guinea pigs canaries and budgies. I've really missed not having my won or so long due to the places I've been living so this has been a wonderful opportunity to be with them again.
I'm now available from
1. 29 - 31 Jan
2. 6 - 10 Feb
3. 27 Mar - 30 April
If you know anyone who needs pets looking after please message me as soon as you can to ensure my availability.
⚠️ 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 ❤️
