Recently we posted about Oreo the chocolate Labrador needing holiday care over Easter. Pet borrower Leyla from Auckland was quick to respond and offer her time and love.

Here is what pet borrower Leyla had to say about her recent experience. She offered 5 days of holiday care to Oreo the Labrador over Easter.

Holiday care brings joy to all involved

“Oreo and I had the best time! He is the easiest dog I have ever looked after. He doesn’t have a bone in his body that isn’t filled with love. 

Oreo and I did a ton of exploring including a farm stay where he met the chickens (and LOVED them). He had a swim in a private lake on my parents farm too. We did a few different trips to the beach where he attacked the waves with enthusiasm. He also had a walk everyday at the dog park. I have admittedly fallen in love with him.“

“I can’t explain the love I have for animals and getting to look after them like this has been an absolute dream. I am so grateful I came across the Share My Pet website. ” Leyla pet borrower with Share My Pet.

Knowing that their dog was in such loving and capable hands Oreo’s owners are super happy too. His owners now have a great solution for any holiday care needs they may need for Oreo in the future.

Double the joy-Pet sharing a second pooch

Leyla also has a great relationship with Murphy a second dog she borrows through Share My Pet.

“I have also created a special bond with him. Murph and I hang out every Sunday and go on adventures and walks together while his family are at church. Murphy is such a handsome, happy dog. I absolutely love the time I get to spend in nature with my part time buddy”.

Throughout the New Zealand hundreds of happy dogs and family pets are being pet shared. With travel becoming an option again we are seeing an increase of dogs looking for longer term staycations. Owners are keen to find a “second home” for their dogs while they go abroad.

Dog holiday care solutions can benefit everyone

If you are thinking of getting a dog, why not meet up with a local pooch on Share My Pet first. Offer some dog holiday care and get a feel for the responsibilities involved.

Pet sharing is a great alternative to owning your own dog. It gives you freedom to travel and there are no expensive pet related bills. During the dog’s holiday care with a pet borrower, the pet owner pays for their pets needs while they are away. This covers food, worm/flea prevention and any medication the pet may already be on. Lots of kiwi dogs are enjoying the service provided by Share My Pet and both 2 and 4 legged members are nationwide.
