Hi there – my name is Adriana and I would love to help out with your furry mate!
I have experience fostering dogs and pups of all sizes and breeds through an animal rescue shelter. Fostering has proved to be an incredibly rewarding experience where I gained a lot of experience and understanding about different dog and cat personalities and their individual needs. I also have experience with very old dogs (my own pup Dash lived till nearly 18) so I have a soft spot for senior pets and dogs with separation anxiety and aversion to strangers (having experienced this with my current rescue pup Sookie). Additionally, I am an experienced pet sitter having looked after many friend's, family's and neighbour's pets in the past.
I am responsible, caring, and love pet sitting. I've been told I am a patient and compassionate person. I enjoy learning about your pet's unique personality while gaining their trust and providing all the pats (if that's what they like!). I will provide great communication and flexibility, allowing you to rest easy knowing that your pet will be greatly cared for.
AVAILABILITY: I am mostly available around midday/early afternoons and evenings (after 5pm) on weekdays and on the weekends my schedule is flexible.
SERVICES: In regards to home visits, I will stay up to 45 minutes to provide some pats/food/treats/play/administer basic medication or whatever else is required to take care of your mate. I will also be happy to water your house plants, veggie garden and bring in any mail and deliveries. In regards to dog walking, my walks are up to 30-40 minutes but this can be discussed with the owner as it depends on the dog's needs. The walks will be around the neighbourhood streets, not too far from your home and always on the lead. It it's too wet/hot to walk I can offer indoor enrichment activities or a play session (and lots of attention!).
A bit more about me - I work part time and study town planning at Melbourne Uni. I work from home most days and have a flexible schedule. I am fully COVID vaccinated.
Can't wait to meet you and your best friend!
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Adriana took good care of my kitty cat for an entire week, made sure she got play time and everything she needed. She sent lots of photos every day which was extra appreciated as this is my first fur baby and I get so anxious about leaving her!
Flexible with key drop off and pick up too which was fantastic with my random schedule.
Adriana is consistently patient and caring with my cat. Adriana's communication skills are great! Both Kiki and I love Adriana!
