🐶🐱 ABOUT ME: Hullo! I'm Winona or Winni. Outside of house/pet sitting/cleaning, I'm an artist and mental-health worker. In my spare time I love to swim in nature, watch horror movies and spend time doing archival work.

🔎 MY EXPERIENCE: I have taken care of pets and their homes for over two decades and can by all means provide you my three most recent references.

My services extend across the following councils located on Wurundjeri, Woi Worrung and Bunurong Biik.

- Moonee Valley

- Darebin

- Yarra

- Banyule

- City of Melbourne

- Port Phillip

- Stonnington

- Boorondara

🏡 PET + HOUSE SITS: I am happy to include daily walks within the fee. If your pet needs over 2 hours of exercise, daily visit fees will apply to cover this time. Longer stays are preferred, 5+ days. Last-minute needs can be negotiated. If you live further away from my council area, you may need to cover my fuel through a daily visit booking.

⏰ DAILY VISITS: When visiting, I am more than happy to play, work on training skills, water plants and top up things such as water, food or litter. Also happy to bring in mail. I do not offer walks within my daily visit services. I also do not offer cleaning. However, this can be provided via additional daily visit bookings if you'd find that helpful.

🐋 I love animals, and have done so all my life. I grew up with birds, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, as well as a range of insects. Outside of pets, I love the ocean and its animals too! Whales and sharks being my favourite.

💼 I work remotely as a mental health support worker and am currently also upskilling towards counselling. Helping others and mental health are my passions! Additionally, outside of this I am a homebody and spend most of my time taking care of people's pets. 90% of my time spent throughout housesits will be at your home!

❓QUESTIONS FOR NEW CLIENTS:

• Does your pet need behavioural or training supports? (Lead biting, separation anxiety, barking, socialisation problems)?

• Have you had a sitter take care of your pet before?

• Does your pet take medication?

• Does your pet have special needs?

• How long are you comfortable leaving your pet at home (timeframe)?

📝 If you choose to use my services please include in any special notes of interest or alerts for your home or pet.

💌 I am happy to send as many images and videos as needed by you whilst you're away. I understand the anxiety of leaving your pets with strangers!

Thank you, and hope to be in touch soon! 🐾
