Pet Sitter Extraordinaire
Hi my name is Amanda and I am available to take care of your pets while you are away on holiday etc. I was pet sitting in Australia for over 6 years and now that I'm living in Hastings permanently I would love to do the same here. I can either come and feed them on a daily basis in your home or I can stay the night whichever you'd prefer. I absolutely love animals and my passion is taking care of them and ensuring that they are always happy and healthy. While you are away you will have the peace of mind your pets are being well taken care of and all their daily needs are met.
Shelters can be very expensive and the love and attention that each animal needs is seldom given whereas when I look after your pets you can be rest assured that there will be plenty of cuddles and time spent playing their favourite games. Please note that unfortunately I cannot offer this as a free service however I do only charge a minimal fee based on your pets requirements. I have my own transport and in case you have any doubts I have a certified police check available on request as well as references from my previous clients both here and in Australia. Please give me a call anytime on 022 127 3312 as I would love to meet you and your fur babies.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
