About me:
I'm an international student working towards my masters degree in cybersecurity. I'm friendly, happy, respectful, and kind. I love animals and grew up with a dog. Owning a dog, made me realize the stress and anxiety they go through when placed in a shelter while the owners are on holiday. That's why I started my own petting sitting business back home to help ease the anxiety for pets.
Past experience:
I worked for 2 years as a dog walker and pet sitter where I maintain the schedule of the pet and remain in contact with the owners to update them about the day with photos. I'm open to dogs of all sizes and can administer oral medication. 
What do I offer:
-administer oral medications for pets 
- 30 minute, 45 minute, or 1 hour dog walks 
- Home visits for dogs, cats, and other pets where I feed and play with them at your house for an hour. Can come as many times within a day 
- Continuous care during the day where I stay at your home for several hours (depends on your needs and my availability) to ensure that your pet is okay during the day and leave at night. 
When am I available:
 I have a flexible schedule, but normally available Monday-Wednesday, Friday-Sunday during afternoon and evenings. Availability may change depending on my class schedules. Although my studies require my time, I have wonderful time management skills and I can work my schedule around the job. 
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me! 

I am a reliable experienced active lady in my 50's , non smoker with excellent references from previous housesits, returning multiple times. I am new to Pawshake but have a total of over 300 x 5* reviews on other platforms. I live at home with my husband. As we are both semi retired there is always one of us at home so your furbabe will never be left alone. Water bowls, blankets, enrichment toys are all provided but you are also encouraged to bring yours. Walks are for at least 1 hour x twice a day and plenty of play in between.  Your pet will have the run of the house including sleeping quarters and given lots of cuddles. On housesit assignments I often alone but on occasions my husband will come with me.
I have been house and pet sitting on a regular basis for over 12 years .I have gained a Diploma in Animal Psychology to better understand and care for the pets to which I have been entrusted, and am currently studying Diploma in Advanced animal Psychology.
I have been a member of the Country Fire Authority maintaining the position of Secretary and has been faced with many challenges and disasters where my quick thinking and level headedness were an asset.
From early 2010 till present , i have carried out 300+ house-sits (some are repeats) and have cared for over 80 different dogs, 35 cats, several fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks, prize birds, domestic birds, alpacas, horses (I can ride competently) and are experienced administering medication by tablets or syringes. I am qualified in Pets First Aid.
During 2019 I had the opportunity to travel throughout 32 countries petsitting, and have a total of over 300x 5* reviews on Trusted housesitters and Happy housesitters and other platforms.. Since January 2020 I have volunteered my time as a foster mum for Animal Welfare League , nursing sick animals back to health and also providing love and care for those awaiting adoption.&nbsp;
There may be 1 or 2 other pets at a time but this would be discussed with you beforehand.
&nbsp;My love care and extensive pet experience will give you peace of mind and i thank you for entrusting me. PLEASE NOTE: daycare rates are for up to 8 hours between the hours of 8.30am and 6pm, unless by prior arrangement (additional fees apply).
&nbsp;
&nbsp;Overnight rates are for drop off AFTER 4pm and pick up BEFORE 10am, unless by prior arrangement (additional fees apply).


I am writing to express my enthusiasm for the position of a pet sitter. With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, I have developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Throughout the years, I have had the pleasure of being the primary caregiver for our furry friends. Currently, my husband and I reside together, and we genuinely miss our pets back in Colombia.
As I work from home, I am available 24/7 to ensure your pets receive the attention they deserve. They are welcome to spend the night with us, and our secure fenced patio offers a safe environment for play and relaxation.


I love dogs and miss my family dogs as I have moved out of home. I live near the Barwon river and regularly run down there so I'm happy to take your dogs for a walk or run along the river. I have a large backyard for your pets to run around and enjoy and love having dogs hanging out inside with me. I'm happy to do house visits and dog sitting either in your home or at my own. I can accomodate your dog to either say inside our kitchen area of a nighttime and if they tend to like to sleep outside we have an outdoor laundry I can put their bed that has no door on it so they will have access to the backyard while being protected from the weather. I love all dogs and my family dogs are a large boxer and a small labradoodle so I am fine with all breeds and all sizes. There are local football ovals within walking distance from my house as well as the Barwon river where I can take your dogs for a walk or run, but I'm also willing to drive your pooch to a dog beach or to parks around your house that your dog is comfortable in. If boarding over the weekend I can offer around the clock care for your dogs however I do work on a weekday. I do have housemates so I can arrange for your dog to have someone with them all day. I can administer oral and topical medications however I have never given an injection and do not feel confident in doing so. I am available for dog walks everyday after 4pm and all day during the weekend. Dog walks will be 30-45mins but I can go for longer if needed. If I'm house sitting or doing house visits I can water your plants and bring in mail as well as put out bins if needed.
I am looking forward to meeting your precious pup!

They are a hugely important part of our families.Working as a veterinary nurse from 1987 to 1997, I gained excessive experience working with all types of animals.

Welcome animal lover,My focus is providing a stable loving environment which is inclusive of your fur baby's needs.Please note due to government regulations- at this stage I am limited to the pets allowed in a townhouse residence. As of this profile creation (please note, this may not have updated if legislation/regulations have changed) I have capacity for one dog over 10kg, or two dogs under 10kg. Current vaccination requirements as per set out by government standards are required. In my home residence there are two elderly cats. If your fur/feather baby/ies are not listed, review of the current regulations will be required to ensure we meet the current Victorian requirements.&nbsp;As per requirements at time of writting, animals known or suspected to be suffering from an infectious disease must not be admitted for boarding. Dogs less than 4 months old must not be admitted for overnight boarding other than in exceptional circumstances.I study from home, my willing company is available for your fur baby.As a pet owner who is devoted to the care of my fur babies. I have travelled, found accommodation, worked and lived through Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia with my elderly pets Harri (short black haired cat pictured), Norm (long grey haired cat pictured) and Pearl (white dog pictured, sadly recently deceased). My fur babies are well adjusted to changing environments and feel at home in a new place instantly when I accompany them.&nbsp;I also have enjoyed travel over the years, and all my adult life pets who are pictured (previously not mentioned Phrydj, (rottie who sadly passed away before expansive pet inclusive travel) have been well adjusted to changing environments. Security and feeling of safety is important for both myself and my fur babies. Trust needs to be established to foster trusting relationships. I know the importance of finding a person and environment that is the right fit for both myself and my fur babies.Love and devotion are what others would say my "spoilt pets" require. If your pet has emotional requirements, needs human company, gentle quiet home away from home and is comfortable around two established household elderly cats, I encourage a meet and greet to help welcome your baby into our home. Every fur baby is different, some require more exposures to feel comfortable, some do not feel at home without additional time.My focus is on a true "at home" experience. I extend the fur baby treatment to your desired extent as required. For my own fur babies an Aesop bath, hair dryer blow dry, brush, comb, clean sheets on pet beds weekly, to sit/sleep on the couch/bed, car rides safely restrained, travel, beach walks, swims, neighbourhood walks, puppy park visits, toys, home made with love quality dehydrated meat snacks, chatty "pet" conversations, seeking pet vet care, prevention of health conditions, focus on wellbeing, clean tidy environment, special purpose made grass area and pets never left unaccompanied in a yard.Services which may also be suitable include walking and visiting services in the local area. Please note my services do not extend to stay overnight at your home (fur baby own home). Police check complete and available, meet and greet encouraged, we can negotiate and tailor to ensure this home away from home is a good fit. We will communicate predominantly through Pawshake and confirm details of care also through Pawshake.&nbsp;Fur babies sometimes need time to feel comfortable, we may walk into a house and feel a sigh of relief and "at home", however excitement and new experiences can at times be overwhelming for our fur babies.Walks, visits to be tailored to your needs and fur baby's needs.My personal experience with "pets" - fur babiesHarri (17 year old black short haired de-sexed female cat) is clever and accomodating of other pets. With dogs she mostly takes a leadership role and ensures order is kept in her home. She utilises her presence to encourage desired behaviour of calm when she does not wish to play. However, she will also try to teach your fur baby to play fetch, "hunt" (inside cat who independent plays with toys). She is talkative, in her elderly age, she also loves children and seeks out the attention of all my young niece and nephews with their overwhelming love and intense cuddles. She needs to feel a part of what is happening and with other cats, she will allow space, rather than engagement. She will allow engagement and she will default to a "walk away" in less desired exchanges with other cats. This allows for de-escalation and calm to be encouraged.Norm (15 year old long grey haired male de-sexed cat) is the most laid back, confident, affectionate and accommodating pet I have ever owned. He is happy to play, he is happy to sleep, he is happy to rough play mostly with dogs, or sleep next to dogs. He is a cat who I have not found a situation which he does not tolerate with a care free attitude. He will not initiate interactions with other pets, he will allow them to come to him and he then allows them to lead the interaction. He adapts to others, and just adapts without any interference from me EVER in the whole 15 years, he just adapts. The sense of calm seems to be contagious to his fur acquaintances in past experiences.My dog Pearl (pom x pug - sadly deceased this year) had a metal trachea, issues with cruciate ligaments, daily tablet administration requirements, however was accepting of others, engaged and a happy go lucky personality. She would attend puppy daycare even in her elderly age with her additional medical needs while I was working during the day. She usually attended puppy day care once a week. She loved to be a part of it all and would need her rest time, which she would sleep in a toddler bed with the side down amongst the engaging, puppy chaos. Non stressful, mental stimulation in my personal experience have been beneficial to the well being and happiness of my babies. She required medication, multiple different specialists, at home physical therapy, tailored stimulation within her capacity in her advanced age. When she was younger, she would walk a minimum of 10 km per day, often on weekends in excess of 30 km. She would rock climb, camp, swim, run, jump, explore and take full advantage of an active life.My dog Phrydj (rottie - sadly deceased over three years ago) was intelligent, accommodating, active, a natural leader amongst dogs, she assisted in the training of her "sister" Pearl. Both being the same age, she was gentle and utilised her need to please to help guide her less focussed "sister" in early established on acceptable behaviours. She also enjoyed for the majority of her life a very active lifestyle of camping, swimming (her preference was to not be out further than her feet could touch as she liked to feel in control), explore and walk for a minimum of 10 km a day, and commonly in excess of 30 km on weekends. Adjustments and brain exercises during the healing stages of cruciate ligament surgery involved ipad supervised games she would interact and complete challenges with her nose. Physical therapy with us both (human Mumma) in the water with encouraged water resistant swimming (no feet on the bottom). The focus was always on nurturing her and encouraging the development of her intelligence as she had a great understanding for what was happening around her. When she would have medication, she would encourage her "sister" to line up for treatment as well. The ear cleaning solution was used is her ear, her sister also was able to recieve "cap on" treatment (no solution expressed into ear). (Note, I also needed to administer injections daily to her for some time - the trust developed = relaxed experience for my fur baby)My childhood pets in central Victoria consisted of hand raised and naturally trained birds, quails and chickens. Our feathered friends were all seen as valued family members, had names and would "come" when called. The chickens has free range in the backyard and would be willing participants in activities my sister and I would create for them. Balance games of follow the human leader, tricks of jumping on shoulders and backs. The chickens would attend without restraint, just with the encouragement of our presence. Escape elsewhere in our generous yard was always an option, but the chickens did seek out mental stimulation and activities with us. Birds, chickens and quails in my experience are very social with humans who have the time to engage with them and build trust.Our other childhood pets included a labrador, rescue cats, rabbits and guinea pigs - again all well loved and "naturally trained" by two young siblings. Our natural behaviour as children was to respect our pets, provide for opportunities for engagement with us and develop trust and love between the whole family unit. Our pets were always a part of our family. We were responsible children, and these were our pets. All of these pets had limited confinement and were free to roam. They would engage in different games appropriately played with each pet. Each pet benefited from the interactions and play, which also established trust, which was found necessary when additional needs arose in each as the pets advanced into elderly ages. These more "common pets" also sought out our childhood interactions.&nbsp;Home away from home for your fur baby. Focused on ensuring a right fit for a positive experience for all. Please also note, I have a newborn son, as per normal newborns he does cry. I will discuss this before accepting your booking. I would hate for this to stress out your fur baby. I want to ensure the experience is the right option fir your pet.****Help your fur baby feel at home****Please provide bedding, food bowls, leash, toys, medicine and detailed instructions, nutritional needs, games, vaccination papers, vet details, and the more details you provide the better.*****************************To meet Victorian requirements- information to collect required: (correct at time of publish)The following information must be recorded relating to each animal admitted for boarding: the name of the animal, contact telephone number and address of the owner or the owner's nominee and a description of the animal including:-sex/gender&nbsp;-breed type-colour-age-details of condition on arrival-distinguishing features-permanent identification details, where applicable-date of admission-expected date of collection-expected check in/check out time-details of medical, dietary, bathing and grooming requirements-any collars, leads or belongings brought in with the animal-vaccination status-heartworm treatment (dogs)-name and contact telephone number of the owner's veterinarian&gt;&gt;any behaviour changes during boarding (will be provided to you)

Hello, first of all, I love animals! I dreamed to work in the zoo when I was kid. I work as flight attendant for long time and just relocate to Geelong. Would love to be a dog sitter before I be back to work force. We had a family dog in Taiwan, Formosa dog name Happy. Happy flied to Melbourne with us on 2019 and went to heaven last year. I'm not in the position to have another dog of my own yet. So I think this is why I like to be a dog sitter. 
I never been a sitter so I'm sure thats a lot I need to learn on the way. My brother has a German Shepherd Habel, so I'm comfortable with large size dog. I helped to take care of Habel when he was couple months old, so I'm very comfortable with puppies too.&nbsp;
I'm usually avaiabel in the afternoon and evening.
I will stay 30 mins during home visit and happy to water plants or bring mails in.
I will do a 45 mins walk in your prefer dog parks or area.
House sitting hours can be flexible and will update you with your gut babies photos and videos.
p.s I'm living in a rental which can't have pets so I wont have day care or onboard service.
Please let me have a chance to spend some time and take care your fur babies!&nbsp;
