Hi, I’m Dean, an Australian returning home ahead of my two rescued dogs. I’m coming back first to work and save the approximately $15,000 required for my dogs flights and Australian quarantine. During this time, I’m offering dog sitting and house sitting so I can live simply, spend my days around animals, and direct all spare funds towards reuniting with them.

I’m currently seeking temporary hybrid work, though I may need to take a full-time office role. Animals are central to my life. I rarely go anywhere without my own dogs, and I extend that same care and inclusion to the pets I look after. Where appropriate, and only if your pet is comfortable and well suited, I’m happy to take them to pet-friendly workplaces or outings. Their safety, routine, and wellbeing always come first.

I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of animals, including rescue and anxious pets that do best with calm, consistent handling. I’ve looked after dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and even a sugar glider. Before I had my own pets, I spent years house sitting in Darwin, caring for people’s homes and animals with the same respect and attention I’d want for my own. I genuinely love animals, and I treat every pet as if they were mine, with clear communication and regular updates to give you complete peace of mind.

My fee is negotiable, and anything you contribute goes directly towards my dogs’ relocation and quarantine costs.
