Hello, I'm Michael, but you can call me Mike. Currently studying at William Angliss Institute, I've been missing my beloved pet dearly since my arrival here. Interacting with other dogs brings back fond memories of my faithful companion back home, Bernard, a 7-year-old Siberian Husky. From his early months, I've treasured our shared moments, whether it's our morning jogs or playful adventures. Dogs, to me, embody the true essence of companionship; they're undeniably man's best friend. I'm committed to ensuring Bernard's happiness each day, providing him with the utmost care and food. Despite the physical distance, our bond remains unwavering, and I eagerly anticipate our reunion. With my active involvement in sports, rest assured that your dogs will always be satisfied every single time. Petting dogs here fills me with immense joy, serving as a constant reminder of the love and companionship they offer, enriching every single moment of my day.&nbsp;
Availability:I'm usually available for dog walking and pet care services in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I can accommodate different schedules to meet your pet's needs.

Dog Walking:

Duration: Each dog walk lasts for about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your pet's requirements.

Duration: Home visits typically last 30 minutes.

Hello there!&nbsp;
I specialize in providing excellent care for your home and beloved pets. With a track record of 5-star reviews from past house sits, I am currently based in Melbourne and work on a casual basis while house sitting.
Despite not having pets growing up in Switzerland, I actively sought opportunities to interact with animals through volunteering at shelters, walking the dogs there and spending time with friends' pets.
Throughout my journey, I've had the pleasure of caring for wonderful pets across Victoria and Queensland. This experience has deepened my skills and understanding of pet care.
I also understand the importance of your home, ensuring I take care of details like turning off lights and air conditioners when not in use. For homes with solar panels, I prioritize using the dishwasher and washing machine during daylight hours and only with full loads.
I'm more than happy to meet in person to see if I'm the right fit for your needs.

Looking forward to the opportunity to care for your furry companions and home!

Best regards,
Jessica

- Due to my current housing arrangement, I am unable to accommodate additional pets.

- I have created this profile to explore opportunities in professional pet care beyond regular house sitting.

Happy to provide screenshots of references from past house sits!&nbsp;

Hi, I'm Stevie. I live in North Adelaide area with my partner, and our cat, Hazel.
I will be visiting Melbourne in January 2024. I'll be working in the Seddon/Footscray area, but am open to other locations as well. My dates are flexible. I'd love to do some house/pet sitting, but can also visit and/or walk your pets. I'm familiar with the house sitting process and can easily take care of your pets and home. 
I'm a high school teacher. My beloved dog, Tassie, passed away in 2019 and I'm a pretty lost without her, especially on my walks! She spent 11 short years with me before she passed on. She was little, but in her prime she went on long hikes with me. 
I've been around dogs and cats (and other animals) my whole life, and have plenty of experience caring for animals, including medication administration, basic grooming and cleaning, and sooo much walking! 


For me, taking care of animals is more than a job; it fills my heart with love, definitely a pleasure 
I'm Consuelo, a passionate dog lover with a deep connection to these wonderful four-legged companions. My motivation to be a dog walker has its roots in my unwavering love for animals and my desire to provide them with the best quality of life possible.&nbsp;
With years of experience, I've shared my life with dogs since I was a child, experiencing the joy and loyalty they offer. This extensive experience has taught me the importance of tending to their physical and emotional needs.&nbsp;
My primary goal is to ensure that the dogs I care for are happy, healthy, and safe on every walk. Dedication and responsibility, honed over the years of experience, are at the core of my approach to canine care. I'm flexible and adapt to each dog's specific needs, whether it's an energetic walk for active dogs or a calm stroll for the more relaxed ones.&nbsp;
Continuous communication with owners ensures that their beloved dogs receive the attention they deserve.&nbsp;
Please note that I only accept vaccinated dogs for the safety of all.

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 !

Hi! I’m a 24-year-old educator. I grew up on a farm in Germany surrounded by animals, especially dogs. My family had Border Collies and Jack Russells, so I’m very familiar with both energetic working breeds and lively small dogs. Caring for them from a young age taught me patience, confidence, and a deep understanding of dog behaviour.
I offer reliable and personalised dog walking and pet care. Each walk is tailored to your dog’s personality, energy level, and needs, as well as the area we can explore and your goals as an owner. For energetic dogs, I provide structured exercise like brisk walks, jogs, or fetch sessions to help burn off energy safely. For shy or sensitive dogs, I focus on calm, gentle walks and positive reinforcement to build confidence. I also include mental stimulation, socialisation when appropriate, and plenty of attention and affection.
Safety is always my top priority. I use secure leash handling, choose safe routes, and stay aware of my surroundings at all times. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs (max 2) if needed, and I adapt to any special care requirements, such as administering medication or following specific routines.
I love spending time with dogs because they bring joy, energy, and companionship into everyday life. Being able to care for them and help them thrive is incredibly rewarding for me. Every walk is individual, and I make sure your dog comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for.
The Dog walking and pet sitting is more like a "Hobby" the a Job for me. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals:) 

Hi, I’m Casper, originally from Norway where I grew up surrounded by dogs. My father is an avid hiker and hunter, so from a young age I’ve been on mountain hikes and hunting trips with our well-trained dogs. This taught me the importance of clear communication, patience, and building trust with dogs in all environments.

My typical day with dogs includes morning walks, playtime in the backyard or local parks, feeding according to your schedule, and evening walks. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so dogs are never alone for extended periods. I provide regular photo updates and maintain open communication throughout their stay.

I adapt my approach to each dog’s temperament. High-energy dogs get extra exercise and mental stimulation through play and training games, while anxious or shy dogs receive patient, calm reassurance and a predictable routine. I read body language carefully and respect boundaries, never forcing interaction.

In emergencies, I remain calm and act quickly. I know the location of the nearest 24-hour vet clinic, keep your vet contact details accessible, and can transport dogs safely in my vehicle if needed. I’m trained in recognizing signs of distress, injury, or illness and will contact you immediately while taking appropriate action.

During walks, dogs are always on leash unless in designated off-leash areas where I’ve confirmed they have reliable recall. I’m vigilant about traffic, other dogs, and potential hazards. In off-leash parks, I maintain close supervision and intervene if play becomes too rough or if the dog shows signs of stress. 

I live in a calm, spacious house in Brunswick West with multiple rooms and a large backyard. The backyard is fully secured with locked gates and fencing around the perimeter, making it safe for dogs to play and explore off-leash. During overnight stays, I ensure all external doors remain locked, and dogs sleep indoors with access to comfortable beds in climate-controlled rooms. The backyard provides a secure space for toilet breaks and play, while indoor areas offer cozy resting spots away from any outdoor elements.

Currently available with a flexible schedule for day care, home visits, and overnight stays. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend!
