About Jack

When you choose me to care for your pets and your home you are getting a sitter with over decade of experience. Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chooks and tropical fish are all in my remit. I've even cared for a snake!!

In 2010 I was asked to care for a friend's cats while they went overseas for 3 months. That experience got me hooked and I've been doing it ever since.  

I am a 73yo retired, single male so have lots of time to dedicate to walking and playing with your fur babies. My car gets me all over the place and I'm happy to take gigs all over NSW although I am Sydney based. Beyond Gosford, Mt Victoria and Nowra I'm happy to negotiate a fair travel allowance.

Queensland and Victoria are also places where I've been invited to 'Sit' and as my son and his family live in Bunbury WA, travelling over there is also an option.

Keeping your fur baby in their familiar environment greatly eases any stress they may feel while you're away. I only come to you and do not have appropriate accommodation to board your best friend.

Over the years I've learned to care for and adminster a variety of medications and injections for pets who are not as healthy as they could be or used to be. So if you have a diabetic cat for example, I'm quite comfortable administering 12 hourly insulin shots.

After such a long career caring for pets of all kinds I have built up a loyal clientele and have a number of references that I'm happy to share with you. It is my goal to provide you and your pets with an exemplar experience that turns you into a raving fan of my service and using me as your regular sitter.

Specific Skills

I speak English
+10 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
I have been pet sitting dogs for more than 10 years and although I have no formal qualifications I have lots of lived experience. Nervous dogs warm to me very quickly because I understand how to communicate with them. Happy, playful dogs recognise a partner in crime and find me fun to be around. Unwell dogs learn to trust me as I know how to comfort them and take care of their needs in an unfussy manner.
