Hello, I'm Ash! 
I work and study Psychology part time and live in Brunswick West with my partner and foster cat Sage; whom we fell in love with and adopted as a kitten last year. 
I grew up on a farm in Far North Queensland and had the delight in growing up surrounded by cats, dogs, chooks, goats, cows - you name it! As you can imagine this gave me loads of hands on experience with a wide range of animal needs and temperaments.
After making the mistake of not realising that pet sitters/catteries would be 'busy' over the holidays - I now know the StReSs in finding a reliable and trustworthy sitter for those times when you are called away from home. If I can be the warm, loving, reliable human to bride the gap between you and your pet - then I've done my job!
I am responsible, genuine and will happily take care of the required feeding, cleaning and changing litter, pats and cuddles, giving medication + daily updates and pics of your precious one/s.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out,
Ash.



Are you busy over the christmas period? Do you need someone that can clean your house, keep your pet company, take them for a walk or give them a wash? I can do it all!Hi I'm Lu, I am a lover of all pets and making myself available from Dec - Jan for a range of services, catered to your individual needs. I live right near Gilpin Park and take my do there every day into the fenced areas. We know ALL the dogs and have a fun time!I am often called a 'helicopter parent' as I'm constantly looking a few metres ahead of my dog to make sure there's nothing on the ground she can eat or choke on. I'm the kind of person that you want looking after your much loved pet and will do everything I need to keep them happy and safe. What I can offer:- I am an experienced dog walker and pet sitter but have only done this previously for friends and family, not through a website. Happy to provide references if you require or come by for a visit before you book me :)- I service all suburbs within 8km of Brunswick 3056. Message me if you are further away and I can confirm if it's possible.- If booked for dog walking I will only take your dog/s, I don't bundle this together with other bookings. This is so I can pay full atention to your pet at all times.- I have my own car with a dog seat and seatbelt so if you need your pet transported I can factor that into the day.- I make my own dog biscuits from coconut oil, peanut butter and pumpkin. Just add a note in your booking if you want me to bring a sample along for your pup to try!- If it's a hot day (above 26 degrees) I won't accept a booking to walk your dog unless I can do it in the early morning or late evening. This is for their safety as their paws can easily burn and some breeds are prone to heat stroke.What I can't offer:- I am unable to stay overnight as I have my own dog at home.


Hey there friends! 
My name is Samya and I am an avid dog lover. I have my little pug Timmy who is soon to be 13 and I adore. We have grown up together (I got him when I was 7) and I can't imagine a life without him. Timmy and I love spending our time together going on little doggy walks.
One of my favourite activities is dog walking. I think I like the walk more than the doggy does.. I enjoy dog walking as it's enrichment for both your furry friend and I! 
I have also previously worked at a pet store for quite some time. I learnt all about different breeds and their needs, so I've got some knowledge behind me.
I'm affordable, energetic, experienced, friendly and careful with all dogs. I've walked dogs of most sizes. What more could you want!! 
Please let me know of any concerns or queries, I am a fast responder and excited to meet your furball of love!!
Be prepared for me to want to visit your pup everyday. I get separation anxiety from them 

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!
