Hi! My name is Candice and I’m based in Melbourne’s inner north. I’m an animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets and getting to know their unique personalities. One of my main motivations for being a pet sitter is simply how grounding it feels to spend time with animals. Being around them helps me relax, feel present, and regulate after busy days. I really value the calm companionship that animals bring. I also miss having a pet of my own, so pet sitting is a lovely way for me to bond with animals and care for them while helping owners feel at ease when they’re away.

I’ve had plenty of dog and cat sitting experience for friends and family. Before moving to Melbourne from overseas, I rescued a cat from the streets and nurtured him back to full health. That experience taught me a lot about patience and attentiveness, and I became very familiar with cats’ temperaments and body language, as well as how to communicate with them in a way that helps them feel safe and comfortable.

I primarily offer in-home pet sitting, including home visits and overnight stays at the owner’s home, as many pets feel most relaxed in their own familiar environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and help with feeding, walks, playtime, litter cleaning, and companionship.

For the wellbeing of all animals, I only care for vaccinated pets. My goal is to provide a calm, reliable presence so your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾
