Dog Walker and pet services offered
Hi all. I am an experienced dog and cat lover who owns my very own animals (my dog and two cats made the long trip with us to NZ from SA). In South Africa I own and ran a very successful animal welfare who specializes in Power breeds so I am confident with any breed of dog. We have over 40 Pitbull’s in our care. Outside of my welfare work at Pit Pals, I worked for other welfare’s previously (one with over 450 dogs), I have walked many many dogs in my time working in welfare and would love to be able to offer my services here. I am currently running a launch special. Book a 30 min dog walk for $25 and I’ll keep your dog out for an hour at no additional charge. I am happy to walk your dog on leash or if your dog has a good recall, your dog and I can work on going on off leash adventures too. All in all I just love animals and spending my time with them.
I also offer in pet care for cats, dogs, kittens and puppies. I can go to your home and give them extra cuddles, refresh food and water bowls and clean up any oopsies they might have made in the house. I charge $25 for a half hour home visit, if you want me to go twice in one day it’s $45 and for three visits of each 30 mins long I charge $60.
I also offer pet transportation (dogs are secured in a harness with seatbelt attached and cats in cleaned and disinfected cat carriers). If you need your dog or cat dropped at the vet for an operation or need me to hang around while your furry friend gets their annual vaccinations. I can do that too.
Sorry for the very long post 😁. You can call or text on 02108590740 or email me on allaboutpets@xtra.co.nz. I have attached a few pics of me with some of the dogs I have spent time with.
Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕
Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Have a say on Petone to Grenada Link Road
NZTA plan to build a Four Lane link road from Petone to Grenada under Fasttrack legislation. They plan to take it through several well established significant native bush reserves (Seton Nossitor, Gilberds Bush, Escarpment, a small part of Belmont Park etc). These are precious recreation areas in the northern suburbs and home to an amazing array of birds. The evening birdsong in Seton Nossitor Park makes it easy to think you are not even in a city. This will all disappear forever if NZTA have their way. Under Fasttrack there is little option for consultation and feedback. Tomorrow there is an "information" session where you have a chance to engage with NZTA and find out why they are building a road straight through an established builtup suburb and mulitple areas of native bush (when there are other options that can go through bare farmland). Go down and have your say. We have to stop this senseless destruction.
