Thinking of travelling but worrying about who could look after your pets?
I would like to do a bit of a shout out for this amazing local Taranaki service that I have just learnt about today. I see this to be a common problem and real worry for some of my clients. So yes you can still go on holiday and not worry about your fur babies - help is at hand!
Here is a peek of what these locally based guys can offer;
Feeding (all animals)
30 minutes • Tailored visits to suit you & your pets.
Feeding your animals the way you want. There are no additional fees for multiple pets, our first “meet and greet”, key pick up or drop off, mail retrieval, bringing trash to the curb or watering your plants
Walking (as best for your dog)
30 minutes • Tailored visits to suit you & your pets.
Walking your dog/s the way you want. There are no additional fees for multiple pets, our first “meet and greet”.
