Hello!! My name is Iva :) I'm a 25-year-old veterinary nurse and 🐈 cat lady 🐈‍⬛.

I have been passionate about animals from a young age, and I currently own 4 cats of my own including a very energetic Bengal, as well as 4 chickens. Growing up in Croatia, I had a Rottweiler as a family pet and they are my favourite dog breed. I also have experience with rescues - as my cat was a very timid rescue when I first got her and she really came out of her shell with me since I got her. I'm looking to apply my experience and knowledge to find work on the side as I finish my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing.

I gained my experience from owning pets my whole life, TAFE studies, by volunteering at animal shelters and through my veterinary nursing work placement in two veterinary clinics. I have about 2.5 years of combined experience in a professional animal care environment.

I have met many different animals in my life and I've treated them all with immense love and care 💖 I believe all pets are a part of the family and I always treat them as such. I would absolutely love to look after your pets as if they are my own. I'm excited to meet all types of animals! I can't have dogs of my own because of my cats so I would love to look after and walk yours!

I am trained to administer oral medication as well as injections if your pet requires it. 💊

Although I absolutely love dogs of all breeds and sizes, I have a special interest in cats and cat enrichment. 😸

Availability: Monday-Friday between 7.30pm and 7.30am, Saturday+Sunday all day and night

I try to respond to enquiries right away 😁

I currently do not offer doggy day care at my house but I offer 30 minute-1 hour home visits 1-2 times a day, as well as overnight stays. During this time I will feed your pet, change their water, clean up after them, provide enrichment and grooming as well as any additional services you request such as a 30-minute dog walk on top of the home visit. I will take care of your house and furbabies so you can have a peaceful holiday. 💖😁

Please do not hesitate to let me know if you require any additional services that are not listed here, I will work with you to create the best plan for taking care of your pet.
