an experienced pet and house sitter with over 7 years of experience caring for animals, and I’m currently looking to build up regular clients throughout Sydney’s Inner West.

I’ve cared for everything from tiny dogs through to giant breeds, puppies and seniors, as well as cats, birds and small animals. I’m comfortable with different personalities and temperaments, including animals who are anxious, shy, energetic or simply very particular about how their world should work. I can follow medication schedules, special diets, grooming needs, training routines and whatever strange little rituals your pet has convinced you are completely necessary.

I particularly love house sitting because pets get to stay comfortable in their own environment and maintain their normal routine while their humans are away. Walks, feeding, play, cuddles, enrichment and general animal company are all part of the deal, as well as looking after your home respectfully.

I’m a freelance illustrator and designer, so a lot of my work can come with me and be done from home. I also work occasional days as a tour guide, which can mean longer days away from the house (around 10 hours), so I’m always upfront about my schedule and will only accept bookings where it suits the individual animal’s needs.

I’m very happy with longer stays and repeat bookings, and I’d especially love to build ongoing relationships with pets and their humans around the Inner West. You’ll also get plenty of photos and updates while you’re away — because I know how much it matters to be able to see that your little mate is happy, settled and being properly cared for.
