About Ira

🌟 Reliable, Loving Pet Care in Melbourne | Experienced With Cats, Dogs & Special Personalities 🌟

Hi! I’m Ira , an experienced fur-mum to four wonderful pets (two cats and two sausage dogs) and a lifelong animal lover. I understand how important it is to feel completely confident when trusting someone with your fur baby, and I’m here to offer safe, caring and professional support while you’re away.

🕒 Availability

I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, 7 days a week.

Because I work locally and keep a flexible schedule, I can easily accommodate last-minute bookings.

How long I stay:

I can stay overnight plus additional day hours, depending on your pet’s needs. You can expect your pets to have company for the majority of the day, not just sleeping hours.

💙 About Me

I’m calm, reliable, respectful of your home and extremely attentive to pets’ behaviour and emotional needs. My own animals include a gentle Ragdoll, a Persian cat, and two well-loved but energetic dogs, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels and care requirements.

Your pets will always be treated with love, kindness, and patience, exactly how I’d want someone to care for mine.
