About

The Paws at Home Pet Care Team includes vet nurses, vet nurse students, and a team of people who simply love animals.

Our team considers your pets our family and cares for them as carefully and diligently as you do. The Paws at Home team covers Hamilton (including Cambridge, Te Awamutu and surrounding areas) and the Taranaki region.

Jan Rose - Chief Paw

Having been in the accounting and software industry for longer than she cares to remember, it was a welcome surprise for her to realise how much she loved working at Paws Wellbeing Centre when she started working for Sarah in 2023.

Jan ran one of Tasmania's leading Miniature Goat farms, breeding Australian Miniature Goats and operating a Farm Tour and Accommodation business until 2020. She has been passionate about animals since she was a child and is dedicated to bringing the best possible service and care to your dogs.

Our team consists of skilled, wonderful people with a heart for animals, many of whom have vet nurse or animal certification. This means we can administer medication and special care.

From your first day as part of our Paws at Home family, we guarantee your pets will have a world-class client experience.

Sarah Stockdale - Paws Founder

Sarah grew up in a farming family and has had a lifelong love for animals.

As a teenager, she worked at a boarding kennel and cattery and showed corgis and Shetland sheepdogs.

Currently, Sarah has Sasha, a beautiful Tokenise cat with a big personality. It's Sasha who wins in the 'boss' stakes in their house!

Sarah left the corporate world to follow her passion for working with pets. She saw a real need for a comprehensive service, providing proactive health and well-being care for pets at home by a qualified team with skills, passion, and an absolute commitment to caring for animals.

Pet Minding Team

Paws at Home has a team of wonderful pet minders with vet nurse skills, animal certification, and a sincere love for animals.

They'll look after your pets when you can't, providing the care your animals need and deserve. We always organise a meet and greet prior to the first visit (no charge) so we can meet you and your pet(s) and understand their unique needs.

Paws at Home Hosts - some of our fantastic Team

Hamilton

Lenore & Pat (River Road)
We moved to Hamilton three years ago after 20 years on a lifestyle block in Springston, Christchurch, with various animals. Our chocolate Lab, Louis, moved with us but passed away from lung cancer last year.

Deciding not to get another dog, our home felt empty. Becoming home hosts with Paws at Home has filled that gap, and we enjoy meeting owners and having their dogs stay with us. Being retired gives us plenty of time to care for our doggy guests, and we love this new adventure.

Hamilton

Victoria (Horsham Downs)
Having had dogs for many years, I understand how deeply we care for them. Our large block just outside Flagstaff is perfect for medium to large-sized dogs: plenty of outdoor space for exploring and playing, a comfy home where they live as part of the family, and always plenty of attention and cuddles.

With eight years of experience with greyhounds and the Greyhounds As Pets organization, and having cared for an Airedale with special medical needs, I appreciate the trust required and how reassuring daily updates can be for owners.

Cambridge

Lindsey
Dogs have always been in my life. Since I was a young girl, our family has had dogs. I am English but have lived in New Zealand for the past 14 years. I have a 14-year-old Cavalier King Charles spaniel, Archie.

I use the services of Paws at Home for Archie. Sharon, my Pet Minder, feeds, chats, cuddles, and checks Archie, also giving him the walk he needs. I love that Sharon texts me afterwards, so I know my boy is happy and well looked after. I'm now thrilled to offer this wonderful service myself and excited to be a Home Host for Paws at Home.

West Hamilton

Corilin 
I had a wonderful upbringing on a farm surrounded by many pets. As a teenager, I worked summer holidays in a boarding kennel and helped out at our local vet clinic.

We now have a 7-year-old Wire-Haired Jack Russell called Jonty, who loves racing around our lifestyle block. Jonty is an excellent swimmer and loves to cool off in our pool during summer. We also have chooks, quail, sheep, parrots, a pampered cat, and plenty of safe, stimulating space for visiting dogs to stretch their legs. I’ve always believed that our dogs are an important and beloved part of our life and should always be treated like family.

Taranaki

Katie
Passionate about animal wellbeing, I've volunteered at the SPCA, worked in a kennel and cattery, and completed a pet first aid course.

In 2022, I moved to Taranaki with my husband Dougal and our two cats, Patsy and Betsy. We also have a horse named Rain.

We offer secure, spacious play areas for small-to-medium dogs, along with plenty of love and cuddles. We treat your pets like family.

I'm excited to provide professional and trustworthy pet care services to the animals of Taranaki and their owners.

Join the Paws Team

Become a part of our dedicated team and help provide exceptional care and love to pets in our community.

Home Hosting

Our mission is to provide the pets entrusted to our care with a happy and exceptional experience in a safe and caring environment. If you have a genuine love for dogs and experience and skills in handling them, you may want to apply to become a Paws at Home Host. You will need to have a fully fenced and secure section, be home most of the day, and commit to having the dogs in your care be part of your family.

We work through a thorough application process, including a Ministry of Justice criminal conviction check, to ensure we provide the very best service.

Pet Minder

If you love animals and have some spare time, consider becoming a pet minder.

The role includes feeding and caring for pets in their home and/or dog walking, either as a 'one-off' visit or a regular assignment.
