About Luke

Hi
My partner and I are returning to Australia after 18 months overseas and looking for petsitting opportunities while we settle back into Sydney life.

I am an Animal Scientist by training (which basically means I've had ALOT of animals over the years; dogs, cats, mice, guinea pigs, fish, cows, sheep, pigs and when I lived in the UK I even had a hamster!). We have two house rabbits who will continue to live their best life with my parents for the near future (yes - my parents are reluctant to give them back!)

I've previously been pretty active on this website (see testimonials) as petsitting was my part time job while I was finishing my PhD in livestock science (a few years ago now). I currently work for in agriculture with the Australian government and will be WFH 2 day a week. My partner will be home more often (like 3-4 days per week) as he runs an online life coaching business. He can also take dogs into the office with him provided they get on ok with other dogs and are happy chilling out under the desk while he works.

We will be arriving back in Australia and available for petsitting from 9 March 2024. I've kept my prices low as we aren't in it for the money - we know the struggle of trying to find someone reliable and experienced to look after the lil furry friends while away on holidays. Peace of mind is priceless! :-D

Happy to answer any questions! 

Thanks - Luke and Liam :-)

Luke was fantastic. We're thrilled that have someone reliable that can look after our loved ones while we're away for weekends and longer holidays. We'll definitely be calling on him again.

Luke communicated well with us and did a fantastic job walking Kiera. He was very accommodating of her special needs and kept us in the loop with a strava map of their walk and photos of our happy but tired girl at the end. Highly recommend!
