Pet Sitters/Dog Walkers

All our sitters are experienced animal lovers and owners.  They are police & reference checked, trained and regularly assessed to ensure they are meeting our high standards.   
Our group dog walkers are also Pet Tech CPR and First Aid certified.

I started Pet Sitters NZ in 2004, due to a niche in the market for in home pet care.  Being a huge animal lover and caring for many different species over the years and caring for my friends pets when they went away, I decided to quit my day job in 2006 and start pet sitting full time.

Having spent 2 years at Equestrian college in the UK, I've continued my studies with animals and am a certified Pet Sitter through Pet Sitters International, a certified Dog Walker through Dog Tech and CPR/First Aid trained through Pet Tech.

After being made redundant, I decided on a change of career!

I have 3 Pointers at home, so used to big full on dogs! I now get to enjoy hanging out with all shapes and sizes and in my spare time I practice Karate.

I take out the Stoke and Richmond dogs.

I’ve always been a big dog lover and currently own a Spoodle.

When I saw one of the group walkers at the beach, I was keen to be a part of the team! In the summer, you can find me at the beach selling ice creams and in the winter you may find me there walking dogs.

I love cats & dogs, but due to current circumstances, I can’t have any pets at home. I’ve grown up with cats and dogs, but now get my animal fix by caring for other people’s pet’s and helping out the group dog walkers from time to time.

Elyse Colville

I have been a big animal lover all my life and grown up with Golden Retrievers and cats.

I started off as a causal Pet Sitter back in 2018, now I walk groups of dogs 5 days a week, where we enjoy outings at the beach and other local exercise areas.

Building relationships with a wide variety of different dogs is what I enjoy most.
