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 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. Dog breeds I have experience with sitting/walking: ⁃ Staffie ⁃ Kelpie ⁃ Border Collie ⁃ Labrador ⁃ Vizsla ⁃ Pit Bull ⁃ Greyhound ⁃ Jack Russel ⁃ French Bulldog ⁃ Shih Tzu ⁃ Groodle ⁃ Cavoodle ⁃ Miniature Pinscher ⁃ Dachshund ⁃ Chihuahua ⁃ Pug ⁃ General lovable rescue mutts About my services: Home Visits: I will spend 30 minutes per visit at your home morning and/or evening to give food, change water, change litter, take your pet out for the toilet and give your pet some cuddles if they like! Housesitting: I will stay with your pet and follow their routine eg. feeding, walking etc. I will be gone from the home during some part-time work hours Sunday - Wednesday. You will provide anything your pet needs eg. food, lead, bed. Additional notes: - I have a car to transport pets - I have previously held a 2023 Police Clearance in NSW (required for my volunteering with vulnerable people) - I have previously held a Working With Children Check (Ochre Card) in the NT: 2019 - 2020 - I have previously held a Police Clearance in SA: 2015 - 2019
