“It's always so rewarding to earn rescue dogs' trust.”
In Samantha's words
Why I joined Needsey
I joined Needsey to provide dog walking and petsitting services to animal guardians in Wellington. Having spent my whole life looking after dogs and more recently having successfully fostered nine of them and seen them into their forever homes, I have experience with a wide variety of dogs. I live with cats and have looked after them as well.
“Dependable, approachable, and consistent.”
A job I'm proud of
I am particularly proud of the last dog I fostered in Mexico City, Chester, who had been abused and was very afraid of people. Through training, care, and effort, we got him to trust humans more and eventually we helped him find his adopters. It's always so rewarding to earn rescue dogs' trust, watch them blossom into goofballs who know what it is to be loved, and then see them find their forever homes.
