Hi! I’ve had pets for most of my life and have experience with a range of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, snakes, fish and horses. My own pets over the years have included ferrets, fish, cats, dogs and chickens, and I currently have two cats, two dogs and a fish. I’ve also had some experience helping care for snakes and horses. I’m currently finishing my Certificate II in Animal Studies, which has helped me learn more about animal care, and I’m always willing to learn more. I believe all animals deserve to be treated with patience, kindness and respect, no matter their size or personality. I’m happy to follow their usual routines and any specific instructions you leave for them. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding visits and pet sitting at your home, including overnight stays depending on the location and circumstances. Walks and visits can be arranged for different lengths of time depending on your pet’s needs and the booking. I can help with feeding, fresh water, company, playtime, walks and general care. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, birds, fish, reptiles and other animals. I have experience giving oral medication and applying creams, and I’m happy to discuss your pet’s needs beforehand so I understand their routine and care instructions. I’m available seven days a week, with times arranged to suit your needs. During longer stays, I may need to leave for a few hours at a time, depending on the booking and the pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and your home’s security are important to me. I’ll follow your instructions about outdoor access and keeping animals separate, check gates and doors are secure, keep pets on lead during walks unless otherwise safely arranged, and lock doors and windows when leaving. I’ll also keep keys and access codes private and let you know if anything unusual happens. I’m happy to send photo updates and messages while caring for your pets, so you can see how they’re going and have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets are treated respectfully and responsibly and get the care and attention they need.
