About Vida

Hello! I am 24 years old and just moved to Melbourne from the USA. I am a full-time graduate student studying Public Health at UniMelb - but have lots of flexibility in my schedule - I am available mornings and nights on both weeks and weekends. I am available for dog walking and pet sitting but unfortunately cannot host your pet in my apartment due to building restrictions.

I miss my animals at home in Boston desperately and would love to get some animal time by watching your pet! My family adopted a puppy last year who I instantly fell in love with, and before her, we had a dog for 14 years. We also have 3 cats at home! I have experience providing oral medications to pets as well, so if that is necessary, I am happy to help. I love any excuse to go on long walks and have some time away from studying.

I have looked after dogs and cats many times before and am always looking for more to take care of! I am happy to stay at your home for pet sitting, and can do any additional upkeep needed (watering plants, taking in mail, etc.) if requested! Additionally, I am able to make walks as long or short as your pet is typically used to - let me know if they get tired easily or what they prefer, and I will be sure to give them the exercise they need.

Felt completely at ease having Vida look after my dog. Came home to a very happy dog. Vida went above and beyond to help out when my flights were delayed. Would highly recommend Vida to anyone.
