"Do you have any pets?" Is always the first question I ask someone when getting to know them, I love all animals but I show those that have become our common companions a hefty deal of awe and adoration. As a recent traveller to Melbourne from London I've been missing walking my neighbours and friends dogs and so thought I'd find a way to do it in Melbourne!

As someone who has had plenty of experience with pets and who has worked with young children from babysitting and working at a nursery, I feel that I am both an approachable and responsible person to handle those with a furry friend!

I'm just as relaxed and adaptable with animals that need a bit more support or have specific requirements as those that are chilled and easygoing. I am also open to owners who may need to explain particular ways of approaching their pets, as I am keen to take the time to learn and carefully approach whoever I'm looking after that day !

Additionally I am closely attentive to any mood changes or changes in appetite that might require attention. I usually make handwritten notes throughout the day of what we did and your pets general behaviour and mood as a care log to update you! I am very open to hear about specific routines and will be strict on feeding, walking and, if required, medical schedules. If, at any point, I need extra clarification on certain instructions I am always sure to double check this with you to avoid any mishaps or hiccups in your usual schedule.
