Meet the Team

Andrea - Owner

After 26 years as an owner driver courier in 2015 my partner said, “What would you really like to do with your life? What is your passion? Make it happen”. I was like wow, what an opportunity and I knew what it was - Dogs!

In 2016 I started studying full time doing a three-year Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Management and Welfare. I had not studied since high school, it was hard and I loved it. Being around intellectual people who were passionate about the same things as me; was motivating and inspirational. 

The year I graduated I continued studying doing the The New Zealand Certificate in Canine Training and Behaviour. While doing this certificate part of the paper was to work in a dog related industry role during the year and, this is how I ended up working and then owning K9 to 5 Doggie Daycare.

My goal is simple, to help dogs and their owners live their best possible life. We all love our dogs and want to do the best by them. If I can help owners understand their dogs wants and needs to make their lives easier, even a little bit, then I am succeeding at life, and so are they!
