Hello!
I love all animals and grew up with lots of dogs, cats, chickens, and guinea pigs. I'm offering my services as a pet-sitter as I love dogs and cats and whilst I don't have my own fubrbabies yet, I'm still wanting to be involved with animals and the fun they can bring. I'm a university student and I'm home quite a lot during the week and on weekends with my schedule being very flexibile. On a typical day for me, I spend most of my time at home and the maximum time that I'll be out of the house is usually only about 2 hours. I live in a townhouse with a secure backyard and front courtyard with high fences and I'm only a short walk away from playing fields and a wetlands area.
For overnight stays:
Your furbaby will get walked everyday and even several times a day to accommodate toileting requirements and they will have access to the backyard and courtyard areas. I'm happy to follow any special requests or instructions you might have and I'm also happy to drive them to a dog park so they can have off-leash play time. All pets will be allowed to sleep inside and will get extra love and attention from my housemates with daily photo updates if you would like to see how they are going.
For daycare stays:
I can arrange to be home all day so from drop off to pick up your pet will be in my company. I offer a walk to the nearby wetlands for some exercise and I'm happy to accommodate any special requests such as feeds during the day or brushing. Your pet will have access to the front and back courtyards and will be allowed inside with me especially if the weather doesn't permit outdoor exercise. I am flexible with the times for drop off and pick up too.
For home visits:
Depending on your requests and the pet's requirements I will approximately spend 1.5 - 2 hours each visit which includes a walk, playtime in the backyard, feeding and watering, and any toileting clean up. I am happy to accommodate any additional requests you might have.
Due to the size of my place I can only accept small to medium sized dogs up to 20kgs preferably. I am close to both the Canberra and Inner North Veterinary Hospitals so incase of an emergency situation, your furbaby will be looked after. Please note my property does have stairs however they can be blocked off if your pet shouldn't use them because of medical reasons.
If you have any questions or queries, please don't hestitate to contact me.
Ella went well beyond what she needed to care for my puppy. I'll definitely be using her again.
Ella looked after Chester for a week while we were interstate and she was great. He took to her straight away, we got lots of photos and great communication. He loves attention and human interaction, and clearly got lots of both during his stay. We would definitely recommend Ella to anyone whose pet seems to need a little more love than others!
