Housesiter Available

Sally from The Brook

I'm housesitting (includes pets) full time now and have a few gaps which I would be happy to fill. I spend a bit of time at home working and wouldn't leave your pets for more than a few hours. I usually take them with me on outings if they are small - med dogs. Love looking after cats too of course also fish.
If you know someone who would like an animal whisperer to care for pets in their homes while away please pass on my name. I have some very nice reviews from previous housesits on kiwihousesitters.

One pet owner had this to say . . .
"Thank you so much for all your care of Stella and our home. We are glad you took her to the vet”.
Stella’s sores have healed perfectly due to your care. Thanks for the flower and garden weeding. Thank you for your awesome care in her last few weeks of 15 years of her life."
Phone me: 0211.709.443

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

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 ❤️

There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
