40, Freelance Writer

Hi, my name is Tammy.

I am a freelance copywriter who has been working in the advertising industry for 17 years. I work from home, and occasionally need to be in the office for meetings. So while house sitting, I can be with your pets during the day as much as possible.

I have previously lived in Sydney and came back to NZ in 2016. Since then I've worked in both Auckland and Wellington and spent a lot of time in Taranaki, which is where I grew up. I am currently based in Auckland, working remotely for both Auckland and Wellington agencies. But I am free to travel around the country if the right sit comes up.

I love animals! I don't have a pet of my own, but I have spent a lot of time looking after family and friend's pets, mostly dogs and cats. I grew up around farm animals as a child and teen during school holidays on the family farm, so am more than comfortable around small to large animals.

My mum has an 13-year-old Mini Poodle who has asthma, so I am familiar with giving Ventolin through a spacer and oral medication. I have spent a lot of time looking after him so I am comfortable with giving dogs and small animals medication if needed.

If you take me on as a house sitter I will always respect your space and personal belongings and I'll always do my best for you and your pets.

I look forward to meeting you and your pets and taking care of your home whilst you are away.

Tammy was a wonderful dog sitter for my elderly rescue dog. She was patient and she paced beautifully to Shennay's temperament during the initial settling in period. Communications were nice and clear between us and we got on very well together. Tammy took photos and a video of a happy Shennay doing crazy 'zoomies'. I could tell on my return that my dog was relaxed and comfortable and had been well looked after. I highly recommend Tammy and will definitely be asking her again.

I would fully recommend Tammy to anyone looking for a housesitter. She took on two of my small dogs, one with arthritis and needing medication for this and for her eyes. I felt a great connection wirh Tammy from the start and the dogs were also very comfortable wirh her. I came home after 4 weeks to find happy and healthy pups and very clean premises. Tammy is a star.
