The perfect temperature for walking dogs is 18-20 degrees, anything above that can cause them to have heat stress or burnt paws, the days are still warm so 7-8am in the morning would be the best time for your furry friend to have their walk without them overheating 🐶🐾

Please take care when exercising your dog on hot or humid days, especially if they're older, overweight, have an underlying disease, or are a flat-faced breed.

Dogs can only sweat small amounts through their paws, which means they can struggle to regulate their temperature 🐶🌡 They rely on panting to cool down and can quickly overheat in hot weather. Dogs with flat faces (such as bulldogs and pugs) have a particularly hard time because they can't always breathe or pant as effectively as other dogs.

Heat stress can occur on days that don’t seem particularly hot to us humans, especially if the humidity is high.

I offer reliable and compassionate pet services including pet visits, solo dog walks, and p**p scooping, always tailored to your pet’s individual needs. I recently completed pet visits for a lovely client and had such a wonderful time caring for their cat, who was incredibly friendly and smoochy. Spending quality time providing care, comfort, and companionship is at the heart of what I do, and I always approach every visit with patience, kindness, and genuine love for animals.

Service areas & additional location costs:
• Hastings — no additional cost
• Flaxmere & Havelock North — $10
• Clive — $15
• Napier, Taradale & Greenmeadows — $20

If you’re unsure whether this applies to your area, feel free to message me — I’m always happy to help 🐾

Over the past three weeks, I’ve loved helping feed these two sweet birds every couple of days. The yellow one was cheeky and gentle, while the green one was more expressive and just as cheeky — though not a fan of photos 😄 (can you spot him hiding behind his toys?) 💛💚

Watching them slowly trust me with each visit was so rewarding. The pets that need a little extra patience and reassurance are often the ones that make my job feel the most rewarding.

If you’re looking for a caring pet sitter, dog walker, or p**p-scooping help, feel free to message me — I’d love to help 🐾

Solo Walks = One-to-One Attention
Some dogs don’t thrive in group walks — and that’s okay 💛

My solo dog walks are calm, one-to-one, and tailored to your dog’s pace and personality.

Half-price first walk + your 5th walk FREE 🐾
