Hi, I’m Steph! I’ve always loved animals and have grown up around both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away.

I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from small breeds such as Pomeranians through to larger, energetic breeds including Border Collies. I’ve volunteered with Pets of Older People (POOPS), walking dogs for older owners, and have also completed in-home stays caring for people’s dogs while they’ve been away. We regularly have friends’ pets stay with us too — or happily “borrow” them for a day at the beach! I also have experience fostering, including caring for a Kelpie cross.

I offer dog walking, home visits and pet sitting, with plenty of attention, play, exercise, feeding and cuddles depending on your pet’s routine and needs.

Our home has a fully fenced backyard with grassed areas and full access for dogs. There is also a large oval/sports field directly across the road where people regularly walk their dogs, providing a convenient option for exercise and play. For overnight stays, we have a dedicated, secure area/corner of the home where dogs can settle comfortably and have their own space when needed.

I work from home two days a week and am home most weekends, so I can provide plenty of company and flexibility. I’m reliable, caring and attentive, and will treat your pet as one of my own.
