ABOUT ME

I have loved and owned animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with cats and dogs all my life. I was like the Zookeeper in the family. I loved spending time with them, grooming them, playing with them, making sure they were clean and well fed and just being with them. I previously volunteered at the Sydney Dogs and Cats Home and am an active member of the NSW Animal Justice Party.

As an adult I have raised 2 kittens into adults, one with an extroverted and another one with an introverted personality, and have experienced the ageing process in both cats and dogs, knowing how to love and look after them during this very difficult time. We lost our beloved cat Sidney in March 2022, who we had for 14.5 wonderful years and still miss every day.

I currently have a ragdoll cat called Peppa, she is 14, a little quirky and introverted and extremely loving and loyal. My 12 year old daughter and I call her Ms Peppa because she is a little sassy and sweet, and we love spoiling her with all our love and attention. She loves playing ball with scrunched up baking paper and curling up beside us on the floor, couch or on our beds. She is very much like a dog and likes to be with us all the time.

I wanted to become a pet sitter to help my daughter learn the value of money and the importance of doing something you love. We both love animals so pet sitting together was a natural option. My daughter is very understanding of animal behaviour, having grown up with cats, dogs and birds all her life, and knows how to nurture and attend to animals who are going through the ageing process, are friendly or a bit scared of new people.

As an animal owner, I understand how difficult it is to leave your pet whilst you are away so please rest assured that your pet will always be in the hands of a loving and responsible person, who will pick up on and attend to their every need, as if they were my own babies.
