About Jess

Hi,

I am a 30 year old crazy animal lover! Whose always had a soft spot for animals of all shapes and sizes

If you are looking for a reliable, confident and happy pet sitter and dog walker, then I am your gal. (PLEASE READ IMPORTANT NOTE AT THE BOTTOM IF YOU SKIP ALL THIS!)

With 8 years Veterinary Nurse experience under my belt I am perfect for knowing all of your doggies needs. I pet sit in my spare time as I absolutely love being surrounded by animals and giving them the care they need. When I was living in England I attended weekly Dog Walks and Dog Training classes with my parents beautiful rescue dog Buddy (12 yr cockerpoo). I have gained so much knowledge from those classes that I have the confidence to look after most dogs of all sizes. I've owned 4 Dogs, 1 Cat, 2 Hamsters, 1 Guinea Pig and lots of Fish.

Working in a Veterinary practice allowed me to see numerous animals coming in such as Dogs, Cats and ranging all the way to Exotics, all exhibiting different behaviours so I am certainly not afraid of that. I have a wide range of knowledge and handling skills. I have a lot of love to give and would make your pet feel very happy and right at home, they will certainly be getting every ounce of attention from myself. I've recently house sat for some Lorikeets, 3 beautiful dogs and 6 cats! I absolutely love what I do and will continue to spread the love around.

I offer:

Walks of about 30 mins each time longer if requested.

House sitting your pets when you are away, if I'm available to do so I will stay at your house and look after your pets as instructed ( I know sometimes pets experience anxiety and require 24/7 supervision) .... also a bonus; watering plants, cleaning and keeping an eye out on other things needed around your home whilst away! (I charge per 24 hours NOT per pet as most often it's a multi pet household and I'm looking after the house itself!)

House visits of either once or twice daily to feed, clean up after your pets and allow for lengthy and much needed toilet breaks.

Aside from dogs, I look after cats, small furries e.g Guinea pigs, hamsters, rats etc, fish, and other exoctic pets.

I do work around my everyday job. So please feel free to message me if you have any questions I will be willing to answer them truly and honestly. If you choose me as your regular pet sitter, I promise, you will not be disappointed. I look forward to meeting you

P.S PLEASE NOTE: I do NOT take bookings outside this app due to insurance purposes, I will refuse a booking if we do not do a meet and greet before your requested booking date (stranger danger for dogs especially!), I will not take on dogs that have NOT been desexed when walking or overly large due to potential temperament and endangerment issues to others or myself. (Mostly Entire Males - tend to show more aggression and dominance when other males or just dogs are around!) Muzzles are required if you know your dog has an attitude when out walking, I will not be responsible for the aftermath. All details and discrepancies regarding your pets even if deemed nothing or embarrassing must be disclosed when booking in with me! ***

Thanks in advance!

What can we say, 5 stars all the way. Goes above and beyond.

Not only for the dogs but things, like putting bins out, putting parcels and or mail in a safe place.

Thank you heaps Jess.
