Dog walking services - add some excitement to your dog's day
Hi there! My name is EJ and I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, from Jack Russel to Great Dane! I'm offering dog walking services for $20 for an hour's walk, or $15 if you want to set up regular walks (at least twice a week).
I'll take your dog to the park or beach, give them plenty of exercise (off-lead as long as they have good recall), play fetch or tug with them if that's what they're into, and generally make a big fuss of them. We can also practise commands if they're learning. They'll get exercise, attention, mental stimulation, and the chance to socialise with other dogs (though if you want to organise solo walks, we can discuss that option).
If you're dog's stuck at home while you're at work, or you've just got too much going on to give them all the exercise they need, message me and let's treat your dog to a day out.

Trays are such a useful item to have in the home – they are obviously great for serving food and drinks, particularly breakfast in bed! Find out how to create your own with Resene wallpaper and Resene Colorwood wood stain with these easy step by step instructions.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
