Hello, my name is Daniel! I'm 25 years old from Ireland. 
I'm a huge animal lover and have always had pets growing up, including rabbits, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. I'm missing my dog Bella back home in Ireland, so I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to take some lovely dogs for a walk.
As well as looking after my own pets, I have experience taking care of other people's animals. I spent some months on a Greek olive farm caring for two dogs, a cat and some chickens. I have also done some dog walking back at home in Dublin and have house sat taking care of cats &amp; dogs.
Mainly I will be offering dog walking. I can walk your dog, of any size for 30 minutes minimum and for longer if required.
I'm more than happy to chat with you and see what will work best for you and your pet

Hello! My name is Vivian, and I’m passionate about animals and their well-being. With a Certificate II in Animal Care and hands-on experience volunteering at RSPCA, I have developed strong skills in handling and caring for pets of all kinds. My background in customer service also means I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on providing the best care possible.
I understand that pets are part of the family, and my goal as a pet sitter is to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering basic medications, or just providing companionship, I tailor my services to meet your pet’s unique needs.
I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I take my responsibilities seriously. You can trust that your pet will be in kind and capable hands with me. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend soon!


Hi! My name is Don, and I’m a 24-year-old Master’s student at Swinburne University in Melbourne. I recently moved to Hawthorn from Dubai to continue my studies in engineering. While I love my academic journey, I’ve always had a deep passion for animals—especially dogs! Back home, I have two wonderful dogs whom I miss dearly, and being around dogs has always brought me a sense of joy and comfort. That’s why I’m offering my services as a pet sitter and dog walker—to help care for dogs while also getting my daily dose of furry companionship!
I have years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds and sizes, including German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Labradors. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, washing, or simply spending quality time with them, I truly enjoy being around dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs and personalities, so I always prioritize patience, attention to detail, and creating a safe and comfortable environment for them.
Since my university schedule is quite flexible, I am available at different times of the day to accommodate various pet care needs. My services include dog walking, washing, and house sitting, ensuring that your dog gets the care and attention they deserve. I take my responsibilities seriously and always follow any special instructions you have for your pet’s routine.
I believe dogs deserve not just care, but companionship and attention, and I always strive to give them a positive and enjoyable experience. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and passionate pet sitter, I’d love to help! Feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to discuss how I can take care of your furry friend. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup soon!

I absolutely love animals, but I have the biggest love for dogs most of all! Any dog, regardless of size, shape, age or breed will always have a place in my heart. I have a small dog-walking and dog-sitting business and am very used to, and comfortable with, dogs of all different kinds of needs. I work full-time so your pup would need to be able to be home during the day alone (at your place) on days that I am in the office. I give plenty of love and attention during the times I'm home and make sure they are well cared for whilst I'm out.&nbsp;
I absolutely love petting sittings dogs and getting to know their different personalities. I also love a doggy cuddle so really you’d be doing me a favour by booking me ️
Please contact me if I can help answer any other questions or concerns for you!


I've had a pet my whole life. I love them all (dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, cockatiels, turtles...)! S2
I miss Bruce Wayne, my shih tzu, who unfortunately I had to leave in Brazil with my father, his grandfather. I had some experiences with him, like taking care of his eyes when he had allergies.

My sister-in-law also had a cockatiel that I helped take care of, whose name was Joaquim. I always wanted to play with my rings and sing to myself. Another animal that I had the task of taking care of was João, my niece's little fish. :D

You can be sure that your animal will be very well taken care of, with lots of love and attention. I will talk like him and take care of him like I took care of Bruce. :)

So if you are looking for a person who loves animals or a caring dog sitter for your pet, just call me! ;D I am available every Monday and Wednesday from 9am to 2pm, during which time I can take your pet for a walk and I can stay at your house keeping your pet company.


Hi! I’ve owned pets my whole life, both dogs and cats, and have raised over 7 kittens from birth. I currently have a 4 year old kitty named Bumpty who I can comfortably say is the love of my life. For the past 2 years I have been pet sitting and dog walking, and I’ve had over 16 clients across multiple platforms who have expressed that I go above and beyond, not only looking after their pets but also their homes. I adore animals, and would love nothing more than to look after yours and treat them like my own! 
I communicate well with my clients and send lots of pictures of pets everyday to keep them updated! - I ask my client's preference about how many pictures they like to receive, and if they prefer minimal or lots of communication and updates.
I am flexible (car for visits and my own apartment for pet stays) 
About my services, apartment, and availability:
My home: 
I live independently in a small but spacious one bedroom apartment. It has a living room, kitchen, hallway, and separate bathroom and bedroom. I don’t have an enclosed fence around my property. I do have access to an outside carpark with grass. 

CATS
Cat sitting at my home: i can only host 1 cat a time at my property. I have plenty of space for your cat, and a friend they can play with. Bumpty is super friendly and loves meeting other cats. She requires an introduction over a day, but by the second/third day she will be best friends with your cat. I have space for food and litter, and I can provide meals at the times of your choosing. Bumpty sleeps in the bathroom, so your cat can sleep wherever they wish. 

Visits: can be anywhere between 15-30 mins long (or longer if requested). I will clean litter, top up food, clean up any messes, throw out all rubbish at the end of my visit, water any plants and do any home admin tasks you may need while you are gone. I can visit up to 2 times a day to check on your cats and give them some cuddles and playtime. 

Staying at yours: I can look after up to any number of cats in your home for a maximum of 4 day stays. I will complete regular household maintenance tasks and leave the property exactly as you left it.

Visits: i can complete visits for any number of dogs. Visits can be anywhere between 15mins-30mins long (or longer if requested).

I will leave the property exactly as you left it and will complete any admin house tasks you may need during your trip. I will also walk your dog during my stay once a day at an additional charge. 

Dog sitting at my house:  Due to the size of my one bedroom apartment, I am unable to host dogs at my apartment. The most I can host is 1 small (toilet trained) puppy. I don’t not have an enclosed fence around my property. I do have access to an outside carpark with grass. I also have a cat so if this will be an issue with your puppy please keep this in mind when booking me. Bumpty sleeps in the bathroom but your pup can sleep wherever they wish, in a crate or freely.

I can look after both cats and dogs at your property (up to 2 small dogs and 2 cats at a time) 

I work 3 days a week part time from between 2-7pm (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday). I am home/available every other time. I may potentially have a casual shift somewhere else on a weekend but I will disclose this at the time of the booking/enquiry. I have lots of availability on holidays/ long weekends and during random points throughout the year so please don’t hesitate to enquire if you are interested. I will be transparent and honest if I cannot spend the required amount of time you need me to with your pet.

Hello there! I'm Kate, thrilled to be your go-to pet sitter. My passion for pet sitting stems from my deep love for animals, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members.

Nevertheless, I'm more than happy to provide my services at your place, ensuring that your pets are well taken care of in the comfort of their environment.
I have valuable experience with dogs and cats, having spent over a year caring for an Irish Water Spaniel in Southbank - and I can provide a recommendation. This experience has given me insight into different pets' unique needs and personalities. I'm committed to providing your beloved companions with the same care and attention.
I assure you that your pets will receive the utmost care and attention during their time with me. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I will ensure they feel loved and cherished until your return.
I understand the importance of trust in pet sitting, and I'm here to provide you with peace of mind, knowing that your pets are in capable and loving hands. Feel free to reach out, and let's discuss how I can make your pet's time away from you a safe and enjoyable experience.


Welcome!My name is Jocelyn and I have been working in the pet industry for close to three years as a puppy school instructor and retail assistant for a pet supply store.

I have my own car so can easily travel on adventures. Big or small such as sensory walks around the neighbourhood, park adventures or extended hikes in nature and of course lots of love and attention! I can also offer home visiting services for dogs who like a fluffy pillow and warm blanket and can provide enrichment activities to keep them stimulated but also provide lots of love and affection!
I have previous experience caring for pets of all sizes and breeds and can accommodate their health needs (e.g. old age, breed impediments and general health and wellbeing).

Hiya !! 
My names Kate, I'm a 24y/o living in the inner north and wanting to make new (furry) friends :)) I lost my sweet boy Harry (see cover photo) a year ago and I've been really missing having a dog around if I'm being totally honest... given I'm already out walking I may as well use it as a way to get some much needed dog time and benefit not only my mental health but some local dog parents so here I am !! 

I have been a ~casual~ dog sitter since 2019 - so have plenty experience with a range of breeds &amp; personality types. I have quite the soft spot for Border Collies, but have experience walking/looking after American Staffies, Labradoodles (and other various oodles), Golden Retrievers, French Bulldogs, Whippets, Dachshunds, Aussies, Corgis honestly you name it - I've probably crossed paths with it ! 

For those needing a sleepover, I live with 2 other girls in a townhouse just a stones throw away from the local dog park, so I can guarantee they will be showered with attention during their stay!! We have a large living space for your friend to run around in and huge couch to snuggle up on (if they're allowed, don't wish to teach a bad habit to those who aren't at home!!). The outdoor area is a large 5.3x3 metre terrace/balcony (on third level), this does have a 1.5M tall 'wall' however so my place is best suited for dogs who like to be inside at night as I would never leave them up here unsupervised - I spend most of my day at the dog park soaking up the sun especially for the pup's bathroom time. Please note, given the townhouse layout my house is unfortunately not suitable for those with mobility issues (stairs). 

For those just needing a w-a-l-k - whether it's a short stroll to the local off leash park, power laps around the block, or multiple breaks required as I know some of our senior pups heavily require - I am up for the challenge, just let me know what your pal needs and I will make sure they have the best time :)

I am an avid lover of all things dog related so when I'm not working you will catch me on the couch watching countless hours of show dog competitions &amp; doomscrolling through many dog fun facts and life hacks, I guess you could call it my special interest...

I'm available for w-a-l-k's on weekdays from 10AM and weekends from 12PM !

I'm a former boxer dog owner and love looking after big dogs especially (most especially boxers, retrievers and collies!). Have also looked after many small dogs, cats, chickens and ducks, all of whom I love so much!!
I'm very responsible and caring and love all animals. I have a car that doesn't mind a dog or two, and though I'd absolutely love a dog of my own, I travel frequently, so I love looking after others' dogs instead with the help of my wonderful husband, Josh.&nbsp;
We have been travelling for a year, so we've packed up our house in Richmond, Melbourne into storage I have put our daily rate for housesitting down to the minimum possible ($25 per day) for this period as we are happy to look after your pets in exchange for accommodation.
I work from home, so can keep your pets company during the day and will take them for walks daily. We prefer housesits of 1 week or more.
We'll treat your pets like a king/queen, and know how scary it is to have someone else take care of your pets. We're happy to send you photo updates and keep in touch by text as much as you like.&nbsp;
We've looked after boxers, retrievers, staffies, border collies, great danes, brittanys, poodles, grey hounds, kelpies, labs, cats, chickens and ducks, and have a few regular dogs and cars that we love to look after.
