I have always had a huge love for animals, being surrounded by pets in my upbringing and going on to complete a biology degree at University, developing my understanding of animal behaviours and traits.
I began professionally caring for animals in 2018 back in England and over the years have developed a repertoire of regulars and lovely reviews (on a different site, reviews available on request ☺️). I always take the time to get to know each animal and understand their needs, dislikes and little kwerks - as much like us they're all incredibly different with their own personalities! Therefore, I tailor my walks and activities to best suit their needs, be it finding calm environments for nervous dogs, or high mental and physical stimulation for those active pets!
I have the most experience caring for dogs, ranging from young puppies up to 13 year olds, and varying in sizes from daschund right up to large labradoodles and English pointers. I am confident working with all breeds and multiple dogs at a time - though I will never introduce 2 dogs until I have met them first separately, understand them and am happy they will get on well. I ensure the introductions are slow, relaxed and in a neutral ground!
I was sad to leave my clients behind in England as I formed lovely bonds with both the pets and their owners, but I hope I'll be able to continue to do so over here in Australia!
I am available all through the day and am incredibly flexible, meaning I'm also free on short-notice should you need me. My walks and drop ins generally last half an hour, however I'd be more than happy to alter this to your preference for pets!
I also have a current, valid police check ☺️

Shona is incredible, and we just adore her. She was amazing with our 3 babies and even broke down barriers with our most anxious cat overnight. Seems the pets loved her just as much. Couldn't recommend her enough! We love Shona!
Shona is an amazing pet sitter. My cats love her!
