PLEASE NOTE: updated services as of 2026.

About me:
I love all animals great and small, from growing up rearing lambs and piglets on my neighbour's farm in South Australia to now looking after cats and dogs here in Sydney. I love spending time with animals and giving them the quality love and care they deserve! Peace of mind is so important when you need to leave your loved one in the hands of a carer, and I fully understand that responsibility when it comes to petsitting.

About my home:
I live in a two bedroom apartment with my partner and cat right by the beach in Coogee. It is a cosy space where I spend a lot of my time. I also work some part time hours locally Sunday - Wednesday and have a pet cam to check in on pets whilst at work. My partner is WFH 3 days a week and also experienced with pets. I have a large backyard lawn area on my property and several nearby reserves and parks including off leash areas.

My cat is a friendly, curious guy and bodes well with friendly dogs but mostly keeps to himself in many of his high-up hide outs. If no one is at home to supervise my cat can be securely separated in his own bedroom with sunroom. Any dogs that don't like cats would unfortunately not be suited to board at my house.

PLEASE NOTE: there is one flight of stairs up to my apartment floor that doggos will need to use or be okay with me carrying them.

I walk to Coogee Beach most mornings for a swim and coffee and love bringing my dog guests along for their daily exercise if they're up to it. I love living an active lifestyle and am able to walk or run with your active pooch or I'm just as happy cuddling up on the couch with the homebody type. I am used to pet-proofing and baby-proofing the place for pets as well as my young nieces. I am very happy to share my bed with dogs but will follow your bed rules!

About my experience:
I have been pet sitting professionally for 3 years and casually for friends and family for 16 years. My main experience is with dogs and cats. I have stayed at the owners' residence or hosted pets at my residence for up to 4 weeks at a time. I'm familiar with following a strict feeding schedule as well as administering oral medications and skin treatments such as sprays, creams and eye drops. I've also cared for dogs recovering from surgeries or injuries with stitches and neck cones.

My childhood was filled with my own pets - dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, pigs, sheep, horses, lizards, birds, fish, mice, axolotyls and even a carpet python! I have experience caring for and feeding a wide range of animals with a wide variety of needs. My family has always adopted rescue dogs so I've cared for dogs with different backgrounds, abilities and needs such as injuries, anxiety and arthritis.
