I have always loved animals as far back as I can remember. I am incredibly passionate about giving animals the best quality of life that we can offer, as pet owners. Sometimes that can be tricky, balancing work commitments and social commitments etc and that's why I would like to assist you in giving that extra time and attention that your pets deserve.

I have worked with a myriad of animals in a variety of contexts. I have worked in animal shelters, kennels and with petting zoos. I also have experience with farm animals, having attended an agricultural school. I am comfortable looking after most pets and I'm curious about their individual personalities and what makes them tick. I also have my standard reptile license so am comfortable with scaly friends too. I also really enjoy training with my dog and seeing her face light up when she's given a job to do.

Dog walking services - I am generally available for a morning walk Monday to Friday, but happy to negotiate, depending on the animal's requirements. I can do some basic training and administration of medication, as desired. I usually take my dog to places like Goomboora Park, Redlynch walking track or Holloways Beach. However, I am more than happy to take your puppy to their favourite spot and give them a good run around. Generally speaking, I will try to give them about one full hour of walking, excuding any transit time in my car.

Home visits - I am incredibly comfortable looking after cats and dogs in their own home but am also very happy to look after small pets, and reptiles as desired. A home visit would entail a bit of tidying/cleaning of their space, ensuring adequate food and water is administered, cleaning the litter tray and, of course, spending some quality time playing with/petting your baby. Generally speaking, I spend about 30-45 minutes in your home per day. For any additional requirements such as water plants, mail, rubbish bins etc, please ask.

I have three rascals of my own - my cat Dante, my dog Luna and my bearded dragon, Theodore. Dante is a grey tabby DSH, Theodore is a Central Beardie and Luna is a Kelpie cross (I think border collie). They are all rescues and I wouldnt have it any other way. They bring me so much joy as I'm sure many of us can relate to. I have also owned chickens, goats and guinea pigs in the past.

I am fit and healthy so I'm not afraid to take your more active dogs on decent running adventures, if required.

I look forward to assisting you in giving your pets the best possible life that they can have.
