Hi I’m Amy - a reliable pet sitter and an animal lover. I'm a 35 year old public servant and psychology student, pet sitting to allow me to work less and study more! ⭐ Housesitting ⭐ I offer overnight care for your furry (or feathered, or scaly!) friends starting at $35 per night, with discounts for longer sits. I work and study from home, so will spend plenty of time with your pets during the day and evenings. I know how important it can be for your pets to have consistency in routine, so will follow any normal daily feeding and exercise schedules, administer medications, and continue any training or behavioural work you're progressing. I provide regular updates on your pets (if you wish) while you're away. I will care for your home as if it was my own and follow your instructions to ensure it is secure while you’re away. ⭐ House visiting ⭐ I also offer 30 minute house visits starting at $40 a visit. A typical visit includes travel to and from your house, feeding your pet and changing their water, administering any medications, tidying up litter / bedding if required, and giving your pets some pats, cuddles and play (unless they'd prefer some distance). I provide a safe and affectionate environment for your pets in the comfort of their own home. ⭐ My experience ⭐ I have experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes (including rescues), cats, chickens, and plants. I have a very calm demeanour which I find rescues and anxious pets respond well to. I have experience administering oral medication and supplements to cats and dogs, along with creams, gels, and puffers. I understand how precious your home and pets are to you and how important it will be for you to know that they are in caring hands. I'm new to Mad Paws, but have extensive experience house and pet sitting. I've included testimonials from previous home owners whose furry friends I've cared for in the past. ⭐ A little about me ⭐ I am proactive, reliable, and a great communicator. I'm a non-smoker and non-drinker, have my own car, and I will happily provide a police check upon request. I have a Canberra-based partner (male, 36, full-time public servant, also a non-smoker and non-drinker with experience house and pet sitting) who will stay with me while I'm petsitting a couple of nights a week (on longer sits only), but will not be involved in caring for your pets. Your pet's happiness and security are my priorities, and I approach each engagement with dedication and enthusiasm. With a proven track record as a pet sitter, I bring a wealth of experience to ensure the wellbeing of your beloved pets while you can't be with them yourself. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio - I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
