I was an animal shelter volunteer for 8 months at a shelter in Singapore and am an animal welfare enthusiast. You can be sure that I will treat your pet and family with utmost respect and care. At the shelter, volunteers are trained over 2 weekends on how to walk, leash, bathe, feed and overall handling of dogs. As such, i have had experience of handling dogs of varying sizes. Right now I have availability on the weekends to dogsit if you need the 2 days to getaway. I have dog-sat for my neighbours and friends. My references: My ex neighbour had full trust and faith in my dog-sitting abilities and even passed me a key for safekeeping! I am able to provide references from 2 dog owners- one is my ex-neighbour and the other is a friend, both for whom i have dog-sat (Harley) and house-sat (Lucky) for. Happy to giev your their numbers for a chat. Please note my house is not available for pet sitting. However, i am able to watch your dog at your house during the day and overnight (should the location of your home be a reasonable distance form the Annerley) I do not have kids or dogs of my own. I can also do house-visit for your cats. I am really good with walking dogs giving good scratches and pats. I love the company of dogs and have so for as long as i can remember and am waiting for my house to be completed before I get my first Samoyed!
