My pet is your pet!
You and your pets can look forward to forming new
friendships and connections this year with the
launch of Share My Pet.
Share My Pet, a website started recently by Lili and Dave
Wenzel of Nelson, connects New Zealand pet owners with
people in their community who want to look after other’s pets.
The couple’s vision is to help improve the lives of pets and

people through sharing and caring.
Lili says they regularly walk their
own dogs, Snout and Miss Mup-
pet, on the beach, bumping
into other dog walkers or
solo animal lovers, and
have recognised a need.
“People will stop to pat
our dogs and lament how
they’d love one but can’t
keep one for some reason
or another, and there are
dog owners who tell us how
bad they feel for their pet when

they go on holiday or can’t walk

them sometimes.
“So, we found that there are a lot of good people out there who
would love to share the care of an animal and have the joy of an
animal’s companionship, and there are many pet owners who
occasionally wish they had someone else they know and trust
in their lives to help with the looking after of their beloved pet.
Whether they’re going on holiday or just want their pet to have
extra companionship during the day.
“We hope to connect the community, elderly people, animal
lovers and people of all walks of life together with the
ambition of creating happy pets
and happy people.”
Share My Pet is a win-win
situation for pet owners and animal lovers alike,
the Wenzels reckon.
The concept is a simple one, and anyone in New Zealand over
the age of 18 can join Share My Pet. Simply log on to
sharemypet.co.nz and create a profile as a sharer (pet owner)
or a carer (animal lover). Registered sharers and carers can
then connect with each other online.
Membership to the website is free for the first 12 months, then
it will cost $19.95 a year to be a carer and $29.99 to be a
sharer/carer. Terms and conditions apply but the process is
free, fun, and simple.
