About Mary-Jane
Hi there! My name is MJ, and I’m a passionate animal lover with a deep commitment to providing the best care for your furry friends. I’m currently traveling around Australia and have flexible availability to take care of your pets, whether it’s for a few hours, days, or even weeks. As a reliable and hardworking individual with experience in customer service, hospitality, and animal care, I bring a professional yet caring approach to pet sitting.
I am based in the Cairns, Queensland until October 2025.
My Experience with Animals
I have hands-on experience working with animals of all sizes and temperaments. My roles include:
Cattery Animal Attendant: At Cats in Clover Boarding Cattery, I cared for cats, managed customer inquiries, and ensured a clean and safe environment.
Dog Attendant/Handler: As a volunteer at SPCA Tauranga, I worked with dogs of various breeds, including those with behavioral challenges, providing exercise, socialization, and basic training.
Pet Sitting: I’ve also cared for pets in my own time, ensuring they feel loved and comfortable while their owners are away.
I’m comfortable handling both small and large breeds, including high-energy dogs and cats with specific needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for.
My Work Arrangements and Lifestyle
I currently work part time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to your pets. Whether it’s dog walking, check-in visits, or overnight stays, I can accommodate your needs and provide consistent, reliable care. I do not offer home stays/ boarding. My lifestyle is active and outdoorsy, so I love taking dogs for walks, playing fetch, or exploring local parks.
Local Parks and Spaces to Play
I’m familiar with many local parks and outdoor spaces, perfect for walks, playtime, and exercise. Whether your dog loves running off-leash in a secure dog park or prefers a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood, I’ll tailor the experience to suit their needs.
Why Choose Me?
Reliable, trustworthy, and passionate about animal welfare.
Experienced with a variety of breeds and temperaments.
Flexible availability to suit your schedule.
Committed to following your instructions and maintaining your pet’s routine.
I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and provide them with the care and attention they deserve. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss your pet’s needs! 🐾
