Hi 👋

I'm Candice and I would love to offer my services as a professional dog walker, house sitter and pet minder. I've grown up with many animals, dogs, both large and small, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and once upon a time a chicken who just showed up on our doorstep one day and lived there until she passed of old age. I get so much joy from looking after animals, and have experience in many different types of animals from farm animals, to domestic pets all the way down to mexican walking fish. I have an aunty who breeds show rottweillers and I have worked in a pet shop for a family friend who went on to breed greyhounds. I have also volunteered at an equestrian farm to gain experience in caring for horses. I have a cheeky little cat named Terra (and she absolutely is) and I have done pet sitting and house sitting for many years. I can provide references for peace of mind if required :) I am very respectful of other peoples property. I am also a professional cleaner so you can rest assured that your house will be clean and sparkling upon your return. I am absolutely open to doing longer stays outside of my 15k radius upon negotiation. I have a wide range of availability at the moment so I can be very flexible. * I have blocked out Tuesdays & Thursdays as I care for an elderly woman aswell, but she is also flexible so if a service is required on these days please contact me anyway as i can work around it. I am permanently based in Melbourne near the Dandenongs. Unfortunately I am unable to provide care at my home as I live with other people and the conditions of my yard would not work for doggy day care. My dog walking services can be based on either half an hour or an hour depending on the needs of your pet. My pet visits will include lots of play time, cuddling, patting, feeding, cleaning, re-filling water bowls, medication, changing kitty litter, montitoring behaviour (in terms of the animal becoming distrssed, hiding, not eating etc) and updates and photos to you as the owner. Included in my house sitting bookings are multiple walks, medication if required, bins (if required) collecting mail, house cleaning, watering plants, and ofcourse lots of love and attention. If a 1 hour walk is chosen within 5 k's of my Knox zone, there is also a wonderful dog park located quite closeby, which would be perfect for some off leash time and pooch socialisation. If this is an option you would like then all of this can be discussed in our initial meet and greet. Anything else you would like to know please reach out. Im very excited to hear from you :)
