Hello! I'm Esther. I'm a filmmaker, workshop facilitator and support worker based in the Inner West, Sydney. My background in midwifery and education has taught me the value of patience, care, and deep listening — qualities I bring to every animal I spend time with.

I’ve lived with a kelpie cross and a staffy for the past three years. They're a handful, and I love them. Maybe they're my favourite housemates? I don’t look after them full-time, but I often take them for walks or beach trips, and I’m always up for a cuddle. I’ve loved learning about dog body language and positive training as a bit of a side hobby - it’s helped me connect with dogs in a calm, respectful way that helps them feel safe and understood.

Growing up, I had an odd array of pets - fish, birds, and cats - and I’ve always felt naturally drawn to caring for animals. These days, I love using my spare time to help others by spending time with their pets, offering them comfort and company while their people are away.

Whether it’s a walk, a home visit, or house-sitting, I’ll make sure your pet feels relaxed, cared for, and well looked after. I like to get to know their normal routines and personality so I can keep things as comfortable and familiar as possible.

I love long walks, quiet afternoons with animals, and any excuse to get outdoors and go on hikes - especially in good company.

Looking forward to meeting your hairy (or otherwise) friend!
