About Me

Hi, I'm Melissa - an animal lover, photographer, and pet care provider based in Auckland.Animals have been part of my life since the very beginning, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Today, I'm lucky to combine that lifelong passion with the services I offer to pets and their people.I believe every pet deserves calm, kind, attentive care - whether I'm taking them for a walk, caring for them while you're away, or capturing special memories through photography.I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and home, which is why I pride myself on being reliable, calm, and caring, with every pet treated as if they were my own.With qualifications in canine wellbeing (remedial massage, and hydrotherapy), and a current NZ pet first aid certificate, your pets will be in capable hands.
