Hi! I’m Lia, an international student currently living in Newcastle while completing my Master’s degree at the University of Newcastle. I’m a responsible, caring and organised person, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe and loved. I have experience caring for dogs and spending time with pets in my family and personal life. I’m comfortable following each pet’s usual routine, including feeding, refreshing water, walking, playtime, keeping them company and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet is different, so I always take the time to learn about their personality, habits, energy levels and any specific instructions from their owner. For dog walks, I’m happy to adapt the pace and length depending on the dog’s age, size and energy level. During home visits, I can help with feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship and checking that everything is okay while you’re away. I’m also comfortable caring for cats and understand that some pets may need more patience and time before they feel comfortable with someone new. I know how important it is to feel reassured when leaving your pet with someone else, so I’m reliable with arrangements and happy to send regular photo and message updates during each visit or walk. As a university student, my schedule can be flexible around my classes, and I’m available on selected weekdays and weekends. I’ll always be clear about my availability before accepting a booking. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pet and make sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away!
