Hey all, I am 32 year old female who has recently relocated to Sydney.

I have a miniature schnauzer pup born on 24/11/2022, so I unfortunately can only board dogs that are well socialised (however I am still able to look after your pet at your home)

I live in Kirribilli and work in CBD and have a fairly flexible schedule + more often than not I WFH which means I could possibly accommodate wide range of dog walking/pet sitting needs, so just feel free to inquire.

Besides being a dog owner for 10 years, I have also ran a dog walking/pet sitting business in Manchester,UK. Full disclosure, that was about 5 years ago now.
I have looked after plenty of pets, from walking,to boarding or pet sitting at their home. I have had a lot of regular customers with whom I am still in touch and have actually built some amazing friendships thorough this.
I have looked after dogs of all sizes and breeds, from German Shepherds to Spaniels, as well as less common breeds such as Basenji,SharPei. I will save everyone's time and not list every breed I had looked after, but I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes (yes, including Great Danes) and personalities.

I have worked with dogs that had anxiety and socialisation issues, past trauma and behavioral problems, I am more than happy to work with what's conventionally considered not so perfect dog, just please disclose that upfront so I can be prepared.

I also have experience with cat sitting, and cat visits, however I couldn't board a cat unfortunately, unless it was hypoallergenic, although I could look after a cat in your own house.

Specific services details:

Dog walks: 45 minutes unless agreed otherwise.

House visits: 30 minute minimum unless agreed otherwise.

Pet sitting: any pets and all size breeds, 24/7 supervision if necessary.

*Dog boarding: small and medium breeds with 24/7 supervision if necessary. 

Please note I am unable to board cats.

I live in a spacious and airy Kirribilli apartment together with my partner (IT specialist). Due to my flexible work arrangements I could WFH for the duration of your dog's stay and ensure 24/7 supervision. Whilst I do not have outside space I am able to take your dog out 4 times a day (or more if necessary), there are a few parks and green spaces nearby.

I am happy to administer oral medication and carry on with the training/boundaries of your preference.

If you have any questions please please feel free to ask!
