I'm an official, active raiser and carer for Guide Dogs Victoria, Seeing Eye Dogs Australia, the RSPCA and our local animal rescue organisations, and have an additional seventeen years experience in dog training and handling. I work from home, go on a long walk or trip to the park, beach or forest every morning and afternoon, and in between times they love to curl up on my feet or in my lap, inside our home. Our four-legged loved ones are part of our family, inside and with us wherever we go.
We will run, play, fetch, cuddle and swap human-training hints together, and I provide regular updates and photos on how your loved one is doing.
When you come home they’ll feel relaxed, happy and content - and best of all, you will too.
Maybe you have a giant dog or young puppy, a cat or kitten, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, chickens or even reptiles? No matter the size or energy level, I'm here to help when you can't.
I have fantastic references including through Paw Shake, and am happy to supply contact details for others.
I am kind, caring, reliable, responsible, prompt, trustworthy and professional. Feel free to message me if you'd like to have a chat first, I'd be happy to help and find the right fit for you.
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
Rebecca was absolutely wonderful with Ziggy while I was away. The photos of his walks gave me great piece of mind and my housemates raved about how sweet she was to him. Would definitely recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a pet sitter/Walker
Rebecca has been so great and our dog (a very active Husky) has absolutely loved having her take him out. A tired Husky is a happy Husky and his long evening run/walks have kept him very happy. It has helped me out so much while when my husband has been away, it wouldn't have been possible for me to juggle everything (with a baby and a dog) without Rebecca. Rebecca was always on time and always very happy to see Rusty, who was also very happy to see her. Would not hesitate to book again.
Oscar the pedigree Rottweiler and Rosie the kelpie staffy x were the first two dogs I trained and brought up as an integral part of our little family beginning over a decade ago, along with a siamsese, tabby, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish and Canaries- and litters of almost each of them!
On the farm back home in WA we’ve got sheep, along with two goats, a horse, chickens (and a very noisy rooster!) and two working dogs, plus the bats and kangaroos that have adopted us.
Head underwater, and working as an ocean guide at the largest aquarium in the southern hemisphere meant seal shows that help the public get to know the personality behind each individual, to helping young kids safely learn about stingrays, Port Jackson sharks and starfish in our rockpool.
Next it was onto work as a rescue diver on both the Ningaloo and Great Barrier Reefs, and as a Crocodile Guide in far north Queensland- where I had to regularly had to encourage people not to reach for sunglasses dropped overboard!
I've got up-to-date, clear police, driving and working with children checks and records, insurance and references. When I'm not walking dogs, I'm working as an analyst for an ASX top 100 company.
