Hey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?

Hey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?

We're looking into ways we can all keep these costs down for a story on Homed and would love to hear from you if you have particularly large or small bills.

Do your power bills come in way higher than your friends and family? Do you know why, or does the amount always take you by surprise? Maybe, like the family who created an effective solar panel heater out of drink cans, or the blogger who enjoys free power generated by a converted washing machine, you've found a creative way to minimise your bills. If so, how do you do it?

Whether your bills are high and you're looking for ways to reduce them, or you have some secrets to low power bills that you're willing to share, we'd love to hear from you. Email homed@stuff.co.nz and one of our reporters will be in touch.

Director from The Pet Nannies Ltd

We will go above and beyond to remove the guilt of leaving your dog at home when you can't be there. A daily walk & cuddle with a Pet Nanny will make all the difference to your dog's well being. Here's why:

We will go above and beyond to remove the guilt of leaving your dog at home when you can't be there. A daily walk & cuddle with a Pet Nanny will make all the difference to your dog's well being. Here's why:

1. You have already chosen the best and kindest option for your pet by choosing professional in-home care and The Pet Nannies Ltd are the best and kindest in-home pet care option because of the people that work there.



2. We started The Pet Nannies in early 2017 and we have put our heart and souls into creating a pet care service that provides top quality pet care and true peace of mind to South Auckland Pet Parents, in a market that is flooded with 'cowboys'.



3. A large focus for our team is being worthy of your trust and giving you the actual peace of mind that you are paying us for. Our service should be completely transparent and open so you can see you are getting what you are paying for.



4. One thing that is crucial to us is that there are foolproof systems in place to stop unacceptable errors. We have spent time pouring through customer feedback and complaints from other pet care businesses, Facebook groups and forums and learning from them, to ensure The Pet Nannies Ltd has all bases covered when it comes to your pets, your home and also our staff. Diane supervises all our nannies remotely and ensures her staff are safe and supported at all times.



5. We get it! We are pet owners and animal lovers too. We understand that this is your baby, and that we are entering your home. Our Pet Nannies are professional, mature, have ongoing training and also have been police checked. We have liability insurance and are members of Pet Sitters International. We are safety focused!



6. We follow your instructions about your dog's routines and habits, even the ones you know are barmy... especially those ones! We collect a mountain of information from you before we even start, to ensure we know & understand your dog as well as we can. We spend time working out the best & safest way to walk your dog and will customise any training required.



7. We embrace technology and use a dedicated Pet Care software that includes a really convenient client portal and safety alerts so nothing is forgotten & no one can be missed.



8. We know you're going to be wondering where we went and what we did on the walk so we send visit reports with timestamps, tracking maps and task lists accompanying messages and pictures from your Pet Nanny Dog Walker.



9. We actively provide home security as part of our task list, it's not just an afterthought! We also use unmarked cars and don't wear uniforms so as not to draw attention to the fact that you are not home.



I forgot to mention you receive $35 toward your first booking when you register today!

The move comes after much public debate on the appropriateness of firearms being brought into schools, including when soldiers taught children as young as nine how to assemble and shoot assault rifles at a leadership exercise in Palmerston North last year. However students can still use firearms as part of shooting clubs and competitions. Click here to read the full article and guidelines.
