Sydney Friends- I have moved back to Canberra in January 2022. I am available for previous clients only for weekend stays (Friday and Saturday - two night minimum).

I am thankful for the past three years to all my wonderful clients and to all the amazing animals I have looked after.

Canberra Friends - Hello! Nice to e-meet you! After a short break moving to Canberra and settling in, I would love to look after your fur child/ren.

What I can offer:

Dog Walking - for up to 45mins of dog walking. I can do after 5.00pm, subject to availability and work commitments.

Home Visits - for up to 60mins each visit I can feed your animal/s, bring in mail, take out bins, bring bins in, have playtime with your animal/s at your house, water plants, open/close curtains, clean/refreshed their litter tray or pick up their business in your yard. Happy to discuss your requirements.

Overnight stays - very similar to the Home Visits but more time for cuddles with your fur child/ren. I also include a walk for dogs, or cats - my cat loves to go on a walk with her lead. I also use this rate for 4hrs or more for day/night-sitting if you need me to be at your house if your pet cannot be left home alone.

Feel free to send a message to discuss your needs.

About me:

For those who know me or are new to my story, I had to say goodbye to Alpha the Great Dane at the end of January 2021. I brought Alpha into my life when she was 9wks old and she had a wonderful 8yrs around the sun with me.

My 10yo rescue cat, Coco, is currently enjoying the freedom at my parents house in Canberra. I used to have a Cockatiel named Barney, who I taught how to whistle songs, head bopping dance moves, and he loved to get head pats. He was so much fun to train.

I have grown up with cats, fish, and various birds. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs and even a turtle.

I have experience with giving animals medication whether that be a tablet, topical creams and/or an injection (our family cat was diabetic and Coco gets injections twice weekly for a skin and environmental allergy), and I have experience with dogs who have seizures (my own personal experience with Alpha). I can handle large dogs, or dogs that pull on the lead, and dogs with behavioural issues. I’m yet to meet an animal I can’t handle.

I work full-time hours as a senior Executive Assistant (EA) in Government and previously as an EA for a NFP charity in Sydney. I am currently have a mix of WFH or in the office. I am policed checked, WWCC checked, non-smoker, non-drinker, almost OCD cleaner, learning to adapt to a minimalist lifestyle, and I am very respectful of your home.

I hope you will consider me to look after your fur child/ren, as I will also love them just as I would my own.
