About Jacinta

** 5% discount for any pets within a ten minute walk of the free tram zone in CBD** 

**I only take jobs in the CBD and inner suburbs**

I'm a loving cat owner and have experience pet sitting cats, dogs, and two cockatoos. My motivation to become a pet sitter is spending more time with a lot of different animals while earning a bit of extra cash. I have a very flexible schedule, my only unavailable day is Wednesday morning & afternoon (available at night and in the evenings). I'm available for home visits, dog walking (or dog running if they're particularly energetic), and basic plant maintenance. 

My pet sittees prior to joining pawshake: 

- Flynn (a senior Great Dane who liked to sit on my lap even though it was absolutely not big enough, I stayed with her for two weeks and at other times came over to play with and feed her)
- Bramble (6 month old kitten, very playful and chirpy, I stayed with her for a week)
- Mr & Mrs Cocky (cockatoos, a bit stand offish but I loved them regardless, I visited, fed and socialised with them for a week)
-Wellington, Fred and Patch (two adult airedales + one airedale puppy, I walked them every day after school and did home visits on and off for a year)

My babies:
- Dobby (family dog who I grew up with. As I got older I took on the role of sole carer more often, when my parents went on holidays over the years or worked a lot. I was also responsible for feeding, changing his water, and walking him every day from the age of 10) 
- Millie & Rosie (two senior cats who I adopted three years ago)

Pet sitting is really my dream job. I have a lifelong love for animals and am very passionate about their well-being. 

I also work as a professional cleaner and am happy to add on my cleaning services for an additional fee: I charge $50 for a full clean of a one bathroom home + $20 per additional bathroom.

Third time we've had Jacinta look after our cats and there will certainly be a fourth!

This is my third time booking with Jacinta. Once again, Jacinta did a great job taking care of the cats and communicating. The cats were comfortable with her and happy.
