I've been an animal lover for as long as I remember - especially when it comes to dogs and cats. I grew up in England with my childhood dog, Freddy, who was my little joyful shadow and came everywhere with me. From a young age I learned how much love, loyalty and laughter a pet can bring into your life. Since then I've always been the go to person to look after any friends or family's pets. Back in the uk I regularly look after my mums dog (Mabel) when my mums away. I also had my fair share of cat love too. My cat Minx was with me for 12 and a half years and had more sass than most people I've known put together. Now I'm in Australia the house I was fortunate to move into had a feline companion in already, Luna, which I help take care of and look after when my housemates away. Currently living in my own in an apartment in north Melbourne which is pet friendly and with lots of parks and green areas around for walks. For me, being a pet sitter isn't just about the basics like feeding or walking - it's about giving pets the same love, comfort and attention they'd get from their favourite humans. I know how important it is to feel at ease when you're leaving your furry friend behind and I take pride in making sure they're not just looked after but are genuinely cared for also.
