I am a 35 year old fit young man who lives by myself in a large four bedroom home in a new estate. I am currently working from home full time and will always be at home to provide company and support to your pet. Your pet will be inside with me at all times unless they are hanging out in the secure backyard or if I am taking them for a walk. For walks there are plenty of options, from the local park area to the beach which is a short 8 minute drive down the road. Your pets will have access to all areas in the home and will not be restricted. Inside the house they will have a designated space whenever they want some alone time, but will also have access to be in my company if they wish. At no point will your pet be left alone in the house without me being present, so you can be rest assured they will always be safe. I will only board one pet at a time (or two for bonded pets) so you can be assured I am giving them my full attention! If pets are sleeping over they will have the option of sleeping in a separate room with their own bed, or can be placed in my room to alleviate any anxiety. I live by myself so I will also appreciate the company! With my background as a vet assistant and animal attendant at the RSPCA, I possess a wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience in animal care. My understanding of animal behavior, medical needs, and compassion for their well-being make me an ideal candidate for pet sitting. I am adept at handling various species, from dogs and cats to exotic pets, ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness while their owners are away. I am well-versed in administering medications, handling emergencies, and ensuring the overall well-being of pets under my supervision. My background equips me with the skills to handle any situation that may arise, providing pet owners with peace of mind knowing their beloved companions are in capable and caring hands. I love pets from all ages and sizes, from puppy's to the elderly, they will all have free rein of the house! As mentioned, I work from home so will be available at all times to cater to your pets needs (including lots of walks) and ensure they are getting the loving attention that they deserve! I will cater walks to the animals skill level and age so they won't ever be missing out on exercise, with walks ranging from as little as 15 minutes to up to an hour. These walks can take place multiple times per day, including in the morning, at midday, and in the evening.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Josh has been fantastic at looking after our beautiful Labrador. Our dog has arthritis and Josh has taken such good care of him giving us updates and photos.
We already have future bookings with Josh and would recommend him to anyone needing a reliable caring pet sitter.
Josh was a wonderful companion for our cat Quimby. Quimby suffers from stress and anxiety, when we returned home from our holiday we were greeted by a very calm and relaxed cat. Josh was able to maintain Quimby's nightly medication routine which was truly remarkable as it usually takes two of us to get it done (Quimby isn't the most agreeable cat!).
We would absolutely love to have Josh look after Quimby again in the future.
