I have extensive experience as a pet owner, sitter, Adelaide Zoo volunteer, and foster carer. I hold certificates in pet care, dog psychology and behaviour, training, and dog bite prevention. As an animal behaviourist, my top priority is meeting the physical, mental, and emotional needs of every animal in my care. I have experience with senior pets, animals with special needs, and those who are shy, anxious, or reactive. I take the time to build trust and help them feel safe and in control. Walks are tailored to your dog’s pace and needs, up to 60 minutes, with a strong focus on safety, enrichment, and positive reinforcement. I keep a close eye on body language and advocate for your dog at all times. Adventure walks in the hills are available for an extra fee if you have a high energy dog you want to treat to a day out. Home visits are ideal for cats, puppies, or dogs who just need some company and care while you're out. These visits include feeding, play, toileting, and companionship, as well as any minor extras like watering plants or bringing in the mail. Training support is available separately or as part of walks and visits. My approach is reward-based and science-informed, focused on building confidence and trust. I can help with foundation skills, confidence building, reactivity, and more.
