About Jo
Hi, I’m Jo — a lifelong animal lover based in Sydney’s south east, and I’d be delighted to look after your fur babies!
I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, witnessing them being birthed, raised, and cared for. Over the years I’ve fostered cats (including traumatised and rescue kitties) and gained extensive experience with working dogs, so I understand their special needs for stimulation, structure, and exercise.
With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and pocket pets, I know just how important it is to have someone reliable, calm, and caring around when you can’t be there. I treat every animal as if they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after.
🐾 What I Offer
Home visits — to feed, cuddle, refresh bowls, clean enclosures, and check in on your pets.
Dog walks — short strolls or longer adventures, tailored for pups of all energy levels (from relaxed strollers to high-driveworking dogs).
Pocket pet care — feeding, playtime, and making sure little ones are comfortable and happy.
I’m close to parks and local bayside reserves — perfect for off-leash play, sniffing adventures, and socialising. Whilst I have had extensive experience with working dogs, l Iove spending time with all shapes and sizes.
💛 Why Choose Me?
Experienced foster carer — patient and gentle with shy, nervous, or special-needs pets.
Knowledgeable with working dogs — able to provide structured exercise and enrichment.
Active and outdoorsy — I love days in the park, running and playing with dawgs!
Flexible and understanding — every pet is different, so I adapt to their personality and needs.
Reliable and community-minded — your pet’s wellbeing always comes first
I’d love to meet you and your furry (or feathered!) friend for a meet & greet to see if we’re the right fit.
