I am Vietnamese, 38 years old, a student at Macquarie University and currently stay near the uni. I have 2 adorable dogs in my hometown, and yet I have to be away from them either for work or study so I can not spend time with them as much as I wish. I am looking for opportunities to take care of pets because I am happy to be around pets, especially dogs.

Most of my experiences are taking care of 2 two dogs, their mother, their grandmother and another senior dog, whose owner was my grandfather. It all started from 2012. I fed, bathed, walked and groomed them, because they can only be comfortable around their homes, not in some spa or vet. What I care the most is the comfort and happiness of the pets.

I sometimes go to the dog park to look at dogs from afar. People also take their pets to the university campus to play. Or I stand outside the supermarket with the dogs who are waiting for their masters to shop. Of course I keep my distance because I do not want to make them anxious than they already are. I also pet the cats in the neighbourhood if they let me.

More details of the services I offer:

• For pet sitting, I can only do it at the owner's house because I rent a place and my landlord would not allow. I have had experiences with pet sitting, both dogs and cats, and I am open to discuss on how to accommodate and look after the pets. 

• I would love to have chance to walk the dogs. I can walk them from 30mins to 1h30mins, depending on your request and the stamina of the dogs. On the day I am available in calendar, I can arrange morning, afternoon and evening. If you want to have your dogs excerise like running or fetching, I can do that with them in safe areas. Or some dogs need to have multiple breaks during walks to catch their breath, please let me know.
• I also can do home visits while the pet owners are on vacation. I can stay with them for a while. If I can arrange time, I don't mind to stay with them 1-2 hours, and water plants while I'm there.
