BTW we are South Auckland based and have wonderful Nannies living near you in Papakura, Karaka, Pukekohe & Waiuku.

1. You have already chosen the best and kindest option for your pet by choosing professional in-home care and The Pet Nannies Ltd are the best and kindest in-home pet care option because of the people that work there.

2. We started The Pet Nannies in early 2017 and we have put our heart and souls into creating a pet care service that provides top quality pet care and true peace of mind to South Auckland Pet Parents, in a market that is flooded with 'cowboys'.

3. A large focus for our team is being worthy of your trust and giving you the actual peace of mind that you are paying us for. Our service should be completely transparent and open so you can see you are getting what you are paying for.

4. One thing that is crucial to us is that there are foolproof systems in place to stop unacceptable errors. We have spent time pouring through customer feedback and complaints from other pet care businesses, Facebook groups and forums and learning from them, to ensure The Pet Nannies Ltd has all bases covered when it comes to your pets, your home and also our staff. Diane supervises all our nannies remotely and ensures her staff are safe and supported at all times.

5. We get it! We are pet owners and animal lovers too. We understand that this is your baby, and that we are entering your home. Our Pet Nannies are professional, mature, have ongoing training and also have been police checked. We have liability insurance and are members of Pet Sitters International. We are safety focused!

6. We follow your instructions about your dog's routines and habits, even the ones you know are barmy... especially those ones! We collect a mountain of information from you before we even start, to ensure we know & understand your dog as well as we can. We spend time working out the best & safest way to walk your dog and will customise any training required.

7. We embrace technology and use a dedicated Pet Care software that includes a really convenient client portal and safety alerts so nothing is forgotten & no one can be missed.

8. We know you're going to be wondering where we went and what we did on the walk so we send visit reports with timestamps, tracking maps and task lists accompanying messages and pictures from your Pet Nanny Dog Walker.

9. We actively provide home security as part of our task list, it's not just an afterthought! We also use unmarked cars and don't wear uniforms so as not to draw attention to the fact that you are not home.

I forgot to mention you receive $35 toward your first booking when you register today!

Visit our website www.thepetnannies.nz... to learn more about us, see our range of well priced services, meet the staff and peruse the personally recommended pet products for sale in our online shop.

Warm regards to all,
Diane

The evolution of the New Zealand state house

Housing New Zealand

The state houses of the 1930s and 40s are part of the fabric of New Zealand society. Hundreds of thousands of us have lived in one, or next to one. They have a reputation for having “good bones” and, today, they’re often seen as tidy, blank canvases for home buyers to breathe new life into.

The state houses of the 1930s and 40s are part of the fabric of New Zealand society. Hundreds of thousands of us have lived in one, or next to one. They have a reputation for having “good bones” and, today, they’re often seen as tidy, blank canvases for home buyers to breathe new life into.

Fast-forward 80 years, and Housing New Zealand is still building high-quality, state-of-the-art homes that are winning awards and setting a new standard for state housing.

Take a journey through the evolution of the state house, from its humble beginnings to the warm, healthy, modern homes we’re building today.
