About Fin

Hi! My name is Finola (Fin) and I'm a 25 year old female from the UK. I moved to Melbourne on a Working Holiday Visa in January and I'm loving it already. I would love to be a pet sitter - I grew up with 2 labradors, a cat, a lizard, multiple hamsters and fish, so I've had my fair share of caring for animals! I absolutely love dogs and I'm very comfortable with caring for them and responding to their needs. I've looked after my own family dogs - feeding, medication, walks, watering them outside and of course playing with and cuddling them. I've also had experience dog and cat sitting for family friends previously (I'd be happy to provide references upon request) and I am reliable, trustworthy and caring. I'd love to look after any dog as I'm definitely missing mine back at home! 

In terms of my services, I am willing and able to administer medication to pets upon a suitable briefing and providing you are happy for me to do so. I can walk for as long/ short as the dog requires - very happy to do long walks as well as short ones - I have no time limit/ commitments so can spend as much time as you want and need, and this includes the number of walks per day too. For my own labradors, I would do a forty minute- one hour walk throwing a tennis ball (non-stop off-leash running), and if they were lucky, another 40 minute walk round the block later in the evening if they wanted to (they always did) so it totally depends what you and your dog prefer.

I am available Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, so can be around to supervise your pet all day. I am currently unemployed so have no other commitments on except volunteering on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'm also available at weekends if needed. I'm based in Brunswick East but can travel in and around Melbourne to visit your furry friends. Happy to have a chat at any point or meet up in advance of a sitting session :)

Thanks and look forward to hearing back from you!

Skills

Specific Skills

I speak English
< 1 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
I have a basic understanding of animal behaviour and have had experience looking after both cats and dogs - this includes walking, feeding at set times, watering, and of course, love and affection! My own older dog struggled with doggy dementia and arthritis/ skin conditions, so I am experienced in medicating elderly dogs - I provided liquid and tablet medication to her, and was strong enough to carry her to the garden when her legs gave in. I am organised, reliable, trustworthy and loving, and would absolutely love to take care of your pets!
