There are multiple places to walk our 12 year old Hungarian Vizsla within walking distance from our home.
The care of our dog is the top priority for us during this sit.
She has a lovely nature and is very comfortable in her own environment and she enjoy's good general health.
She is fed twice a day, walked as least once a day and enjoys resting and spending time in the garden for the rest of her day.
Her foibles include not tolerating other dogs in our home.

Maya is a 7 yr old female Viszla who have adopted this year. We have had 2 Viszla's before and Maya is a delight. She requires 2 walks a day and there are many pleasant walks surrounding our home. She has no medication requirements at present. She spends most of the day inside, is happy to be left for up to 5 hours at home and will sleep along side you on a cold night!

Review

I had the pleasure of house and petsitting for Jen and Ken for six weeks in Gisborne. From the beginning, they were warm and welcoming, making me feel very comfortable in their lovely home. The house is ideally located—close to shops and surrounded by beautiful nature walks that Harlow, their gorgeous dog, and I enjoyed every day. Harlow is a smart, affectionate, and delightful companion. It was a pleasure to spend time with her and care for her. I would happily recommend this petsit to ...
