Hey pet parents!

I’m Gizem (or Gizzy) an animal lover and a cat mom (my cat is living with my mom atm in my hometown) who’s all about giving your furry friend the best care while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just good company, I’ve got it covered. Reliable, caring, and always up for pet cuddles let’s make sure your pet has a great time!because they deserve the best!

I have experience with pets of all personalities, from energetic pups to chill cats, and I’ll tailor my care to suit their needs. Regular updates, lots of love, and a stress-free experience guaranteed!

Let’s make sure your pet has a great time while you’re away. 

Message me to chat I’d love to meet your furry buddy. 
Ps: I work 9-5 on weekdays, so I won’t be home during the day, but my housemate is around to keep your pet company.

'What pets do you have?' was one of my favourite questions to answer as a kid. We'd had a turtle, hermit crabs, fish, guppies, rabbits and even a chicken, rescue hedgehog for a very stinky cute moment, for the briefest moment sea monkeys and an ant farm also made the list. But no dog ever replaced Dad's beloved German Shepherd that died when I was nine. I've had a dog-shaped hole in my heart that's only got bigger with age and intensified since losing my Dad. My mom imparted her love for cats. It was only natural since her mom breeds British shorthairs. So one of my earliest memories is looking everywhere for Kitty and being inconsolable and praying she'd be found for weeks as I realised she wasn't coming back. The real love of my life was Misty cat. We had our own language and secret hangouts on my bed before Dad would tuck me in. She was irreplaceable. Then, I briefly adopted my mom's cat, Xena. Xena loves being on your lap, or will lie on your back if youare on your stomach, or hiding in igloos and cupboards when she was sick, or enjoying the warmth of a nest. We'd frequently spend Christmas holidays at my grandparents farm. They briefly had ostriches, but always sheep dogs, droppers and cats, as well as various alpacas. Our favourite times were watching kittens being born, blind and finding their way around the new world. Going there when there were kittens to play with or lambs to bottle feed were some of the highlights.
But I'm currently pet-less. So here I am, ready to treat your pet as my own and your home as the sacred sanctuary it is &lt;3My I'm an experienced high school teacher who misses her classroom/students and staff, but not the system (my VIT registration is 401982, this is even more rigorous than a police check, so I havne't paid for an additional one through Pawshake (I'm currently unemployed to look after myself - like with pet care and therapy ;)) and am looking for work outside of teaching, but you can check it out through VIT).My servicesAt your preferred times, I offer: Dog Walking/or run if they desire ;) (From 30mins walk time from when we leave your home/meeting point); Home Visits (From 30mins - play, feed, clean, monitor - may vary in length if required or besotted, if booking for a weeek or more I'll fully clean any litter trays with your supplies); House sitting (From 24 hours); *From Friday sunset to Saturday sunset I keep a Sabbath but for extended bookings I can commit to walks, visits and house sitting. **Unforunately, I don't offer Doggy Day Care or Boarding at this time, because fortunately I have an incredible 19 year old cat at home who loves people company (only :p).My services will abide by Pawshake's criteria. But I love being helpful, so if there's something unqiue to your circumstances that aren't recognised, or fit your needs, feel free to let me know what you wat and we can make appropriate arrrangments :)[link hidden]
**I say no to jobs I think aren't within my scope and will be honest at a Meet and Greet if I think this is the case. Safety for everyone is important. Alternatively, if there is something beyond my experience/expertise and you'd like to show me (e.g. specific bathing and grooming; training skills etc), then I absolutely love to learn.**My Approach- Love and affection: I like letting an animal become familiar with me and warm to me on their terms (although I will try and use owner's insights to incentivise that connection ;)). I like recognising their individual quirks, personality traits, needs and joys and capturing these special moments to share with doting pet parents. If a pet is particularly enjoying an activity (like a pat, playtime, enrichment time, walk, sniff, scratch etc.) then I usually end up enjoying it just as much as them and engaging until they disengage, or I absolutely have to go...- Flexible Communication: Some people want me to be contactable at all times, or just love regular updates and photos whilst they're away, others find it overwhelming or unnecessary, and usually others are somewhat in the middle. Whatever your communication preference, I'll meet it or collaborate with you before or during our Meet and Greet. :)- Warm, welcoming and compassionate: people have all different kinds of homes, living arragements and preferences for their pets and/or homes. I'm also a cleaner and declutterer because I've found so much joy in it. However,  when I come to look after your pet, I just see your pet and the sacred space it lives in. Some may look cluttered, lived-in, chaotic, unfinished, rundown, and others can look like you've pulled it from a professional photo shoot. Either way, I intend to love and respect the space the way you and your pet do. (They only time I will be concerned is if there are strong artificial fragrances, mould, poor ventilation, or if the space is of danger to me, or your pet. If I can fix it in 15-30minutes of the visit or stay, then I'm more than happy to do so and make a judgement call about letting you know. If I can't rectify it by myself within an appropriate time, I'll let you know and happily help delegate/make appropriate alternative arrangements within my stay time to ensure your home will be safe as soon as possible.).- Low-tox cleanliness: I love cleaning. To me it's a mindful gratitude practise. I have regular cleaning rituals that help keep our pets fed, medicated, with clean water and food bowls (that are cleaned out everyday and cleaned every few days), and litter trays. After a week, I like to clean it thoroughly and completely empty the litter, wash out the tray and dry it. I'll treat your pet with the same pride and care. However, if you have other preferences, I'll follow suit :). - Attentive and attuned: I am studying or mostly self-employed, which means I can notice when your pet needs or enjoys something and respond appropriately. Maybe they're bored and need enrichment; sad and need pats or outside time; cold/hot etc.. I can pause what I'm doing and modify my plans to meet their needs. If I am day or overnight sitting, I'll try not to leave them for over an hour, if it's over two hours I'm anxious, even if you're not or they aren't. Depending on the situation I can stay the full time but I may request additional payment, some food, or enough notice for me ensure I've packed all the food, clothing and supplies I'll need, so that I can remain by their side until your return.When walking dogs, I do my best to ensure we safely cross the road before we come in contact with others. If I'm sharing the footpath I make sure to give a wide birth, keep them clam and focused, just in case there's any vulnerabilities from either party. When walking I like to be provided with doggy bags and appropriate treats.- Respect: I will treat your home and pet like you would like them to be treated. I'll happily use your routines, behaviour cues, sayings, antics, training and socilisiation preferences. I'm happy to bring my own bedding, or appreciate the bedding you provide. If your pet sleeps on your bed, I'll happily sleep with your pet. If your pet sleeps in a crate, I'll put them in their crate. It's your home and I'll tread lightly and graciously, knowing what a privilege it is to be invited into someone's space. Your personal belongings are yours and unless you've offered/asked me or needed me to look for something, they will remain your private personal posessions. I know how vulnerable it can be inviting someone into your home, so I take the respect of this role seriously!- Reliability: I try to meet or exceed your expectations in communication, punctuality and trustworthiness. My phone is usually on sleep mode at night and I'll often put it into flight mode. So if being contactable at all times is improtant to you, we can make arrangements.- Medical observation and administering care and skills: As a former childcare assistant and high school teacher, I have attentive observation skills for behavioural changes or distress, and have experience preventing, recognising and responding to subtle cues or medical needs. Some direct experience with pets has been: recognising UTIs and yeast infections; collecting urine samples from pets; administering liquid medication; mixing probiotics and anti-anxiety powders into food; administering subcutaneous injections and taking blood glucose readings (to care for diabetic cats). Let me know your pet's allergies/sensitivities, preferences, needs, habits or quirks and I'll readily adapt to them.Contact me for a friendly meet &amp; greet! It's always free and obligation-free. :)


About me: I am a person who is very patient, gentle but full of energy with animals. I have loved animals since I was a child, and I have had experience raising various animals since elementary school, not only dogs, but also other small animals. When I was young, my father raised a large dog at home, the Tibetan Mastiff, which is a breed unique to China. I currently have a Doberman puppy and a Napoleon cat.
I am a graduate student at Monash, and I have a lot of spare time. I want to enrich the time when I don’t have classes. I envy people who play with their dogs on the lawn, but there is no way to raise a dog here, so I want to get in touch with other puppies more in my spare time, so that I can share my full love with the dog babies who need love. At the same time, I also enjoy the time of walking with puppies in a natural environment, so walking and playing with your puppy is definitely the best choice.
Please build trust and let me provide you with reliable and loving services! ～


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.

Hi there
I have owned both dogs and cats most of my life and I appreciate their place in the family, I am sensitive to their needs and  I like to make sure they are happy and looked after on their walks.&nbsp;
I have two cats of my own and over the years I have owned and looked after mine and family members dogs.&nbsp;
I am mature minded and physically fit - when walking your dog I like to make sure that they don't pick up things from the ground that could be a potential problem, I am careful with social interaction with other dogs/walkers- I am focused on your dog and the surroundings and, my mobile is turned off during walks.
I have my Certificate 111 in Animal Studies/Care and I specifically serve the Hawthorn and Kooyong areas.
I would love to walk your dog/s if you don't always have time or are unable to and I look foreward to getting to know your dog  or cat and their needs for exercise/care
**Even though I usually walk small and medium dogs, I am happy to walk a large dog that is calm &amp; socialised, I also do home visits for feeding and interactive play and brush your pet's coat.&nbsp;


I have had and loved pets my entire life. I grew up with Whippets and Dobermans, and as I got older I have also adopted cats and ferrets. My pets are my family.
My friends have always relied on me to take care of their pets when they go away, and I love looking after animals more than anything. I have extensive experience with dogs, cats and ferrets and have done small animal handling training. I have a Working with Children Check and I am fully vaccinated.
I am available for dog walking and house visits for dogs, cats and ferrets. I absolutely love playing with animals and making sure they feel attention and affection while their family is away is so important to me.
Receiving updates and photos of your pets while you are away is such a relieving and happy feeling! I will ensure that you are fully informed and feel connected to your pets when I am looking after them.
I am experienced with animal first aid and my cousin is a wildlife veterinarian so I always have someone on call to ask important questions.
I hope you choose me to look after your furry friend.
