Hi, my name is Valeria, I am 25 years old and currently living in Melbourne. I am a student and I also work part-time. I am a responsible, caring, and reliable person who genuinely loves animals and enjoys spending time with them. Looking after pets is something I truly enjoy, and I understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I offer dog boarding, doggy daycare, dog walking, and home visits. My services include feeding according to the owner's instructions, fresh water, playtime, companionship, toilet breaks, exercise, and lots of attention and affection. I can also administer oral medication and follow any specific care routines provided by the owner. To ensure every pet receives enough attention, I only accept a maximum of 2 dogs at the same time. Dog walks are usually between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the dog's age, fitness level, and individual needs. During boarding, I can provide up to 2 walks per day. Pet care fits well into my routine as I carefully organize my study and work schedule around the pets in my care. While I do leave the house for work and study commitments, I make sure pets receive regular attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. I always ensure that guest pets are comfortable and never left alone for excessive periods. I live in a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home with a roommate who also loves animals. Guest pets are welcome inside the home and can sleep indoors in a comfortable and secure area. If they have their own bed, blanket, or crate, I am happy to maintain their normal routine. There are several pet-friendly areas nearby where dogs can enjoy walks, exercise, and outdoor enrichment. I also have access to a secure enclosed area where dogs can safely spend time outdoors under supervision. My motivation as a pet sitter comes from my genuine love for animals and the joy of helping pet owners feel confident that their pets are receiving excellent care. Although I am not a professional trainer or groomer, I have experience caring for dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, safety, and positive interactions. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a happy, loving, and stress-free environment for them. I also have experience pet sitting through another platform with several positive reviews, but Pawshake automatically hides external links. I'm happy to answer any questions about my experience.
