Massive thanks to my lovely clients for giving me a week off!

I’m off down south tomorrow, heading to Stewart Island and Ōkārito to do a couple of things I love most, seeing new places and photographing wildlife, accompanied by my wonderful partner Scott and our good friend Paul!

Sharing here “a couple” of my pics from over the past few years since picking up the camera my Dad left when he passed away in 2019.

It’s been over two years since I’ve had more than a few days off, cant wait to show you what I find!

Good morning!

As Christmas fast approaches, I still have spaces available within the greater Porirua area for a superstar in-home pet feeder/visitor and nursing care for your pets while you’re away.

I am a qualified veterinary nurse, with 6 years nursing and clinical experience, and 10 years in-home pet care. I can offer 1 to 2 visits per day as required in your home, at *$25 for a 20 min visit, which includes:

- feeding
- refreshing water
- cleaning out litter trays
- refreshing bedding
- opening/closing curtains
- Alternating lights
- watering plants
- Mail collection
- wheelie bin to curb side
- TLC!

with the ample experience to provide nursing care services:

- administering oral and topical medication
- subcutaneous injections (insulin, fluid therapy, etc)
- skills and knowledge to know if your pet may need medical attention and a trip to the vet.

I keep owners updated with regular txt messages or email updates, and as often as I can I will take photos of your pets and send them through to you for peace of mind, so you can relax and know your pets are well looked after while you are away.

I can look after your cats, dogs, birds, guinea pigs, rodents, reptiles, amphibians, fish, chickens, rabbits and livestock on rural properties.

I do offer longer visits if required (eg multiple animals to tend to, rural properties, special requests, etc) for an additional charge.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch via messenger for any enquiries. Our initial meeting will be free of charge.

Stay safe everyone

Love Aunty Tanith,

The Loyal Companion

*$5 surcharge per visit on any public holiday

Hey friends!

I have already let all my regulars know that for about the next three months I will be working back in clinic to cover one of our nurses who requires some time off. My clinic days are Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Most of my regulars moved across to Weds and Thursday which I kept open for walking, but that is now at capacity so I am unable to take on any new or additional clients for walking at this time.

I am still taking bookings for feeding and medicating, although I will limit the amount of bookings I take to ease my work load. I may not be able to take any last minute bookings, as I have been over the past few years of running my little business.
I have completed my first week and a half back in clinic and have loved every minute of it. I’ve been getting back in to the swing of things quickly, and enjoying working with a fantastic team again, helping clients, taking calls, doing nursing consults, dealing with emergencies, and being In surgery. I placed my first IV catheter in about 3 years today and was involved in my first proper surgery in a long time, and it felt amazing.
I will let you know when I’m back to “normal” again, but will be very busy over the next few months.

Take care and keep warm!

Lots of love

Aunty Tanith 🐾

I met Bella the other week, what a beautiful soul she is 🧡 with no prior meeting she was outstandingly relaxed after her initial barking at the arrival of the strange lady - gave her food and let her in for the evening… must not have been too scary 🧡

I arrived to feed the troops and apparently we’re having a very serious meeting this morning.

Just waiting on Riblet to join us, she’s running late.

No body warned me.

Should I be scared?
