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.

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 am very passionate about animal care, enrichment, and wellbeing. I am knowledgeable in canine health and development, behaviour and socialisation, and enrichment and exercise. 
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). 
Dogs:

Walking (30mins-3hrs) 

Whether you just want your pooch to stretch their legs around the neighbourhood or take them on adventures outside of Melbourne city. 


Dogs &amp; Cats:

Home Visits (30mins - 3hrs)

A check on your pet to make sure food is filled and water is clean
Spend some quality time with your pet who likes belly rubs, head scratches and some pampering


I am more than happy to adjust to any of your needs and preferences to ensure your time away from your pet is spent with little worry or anxiety such as by providing photos, videos, and updates, maintaining a logbook, or anything else. 
If there is anything you would like further clarification on, please don't hesitate to reach out by sending a message and I will gladly be of assistance! 

Fully vaccinated
Police Check and Working with Children Check
I am relatively flexible during the weekdays and available on Saturday 



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.


Hello,

After professionally house sitting for 10+ years and absolutely loving every minute of it, I’m now settled in my own home but needing cuddles in my life! 

I’d love to offer dog walking, and visits for feeding and cuddles. I’m currently in between jobs contracting virtually a couple hours a day, I’d be happy to work from your home on my laptop to give your loved ones company while you’re away also. 

Alternatively, I’m in a lovely apartment with a big sunny balcony, happy to collect your loved one and bring them home with me to hang out. My complex isn’t an awful sky rise, we have multiple large grassed areas for regular walks with other dogs to meet if they’re happy to. 

I’ve lived for extended periods with pets of all types from administering drugs to high anxiety. I’m very tidy, respectful, clean the kitty litter, follow instructions to the letter, anything needed. I have a natural gift for getting to know each individual personality and having the best time together. I treat every pet like my own from the bottom of my heart.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks!

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!
