Hi! I’m Andrea, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had cats since I was 7 years old, so I have over 21 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve always loved spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities, routines and little quirks. I’m caring, patient and responsible, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m happy to care for cats, dogs and other friendly household pets. For dogs, I typically offer 30–60 minute walks, depending on their needs, energy level and your preference. Walks can be around your local neighbourhood, nearby parks or other suitable areas. I’m also happy to provide home visits with feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, toilet breaks and general companionship. I’ll always follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. For house sitting, I’m happy to stay overnight at your home and keep your pet company throughout the night. I’m respectful of your home and will keep everything clean and secure. I’m happy to follow any specific home-security instructions, including locking doors and windows, checking that everything is secure when leaving, bringing in mail or bins, and making sure your home looks occupied while you’re away. I’m currently based in Darwin and have a flexible schedule around my work. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs, routine and any special instructions before booking. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away.
