Hi there! Are you looking for a pet sitter/walker who actually knows what they're doing?

Get to know me:

Im Iris, 21 years old! I'm an international student here in Melbourne, and I work from home part-time as a nail technician. I just finished my Bachelor's of Science a few weeks ago so I have extra time on my hands. I have two dogs back at home in Malaysia- a gentle, friendly golden retriever, and a feisty, confident (and stubborn) dachshund. I miss them dearly!

My dachshund was a covid dog so he wasn't well socialized! But after many sessions with a trainer, I know now how to handle a reactive dog especially while walking)

In Melbourne, I have fostered multiple cats! Fiesty ones, extremely shy ones, and a couple of kittens! I absolutely adore them!! I have also taken care of a friend's cat by visiting her home for a month, even staying around extra if I feel like the cat needed it. I give my 100% attention (unless they don't want it, cats can be like that and I respect it 🙃)

My apartment is a 2bedroom 2 bathroom (no balcony). I share it with my brother who is 23, a pet lover and he'll be home all day.

🏠Cats will be INDOORS ONLY.

💩I can bring dogs out often or use nappies.

🐕Dogs: only one medium dog, or two small dogs so they have enough space :)

My skills:

❤️ I'm a pet lover, so you KNOW I will give them a lot of affection. (If they stay over they can sleep on my bed too 🤭) This means lots of play, pats, photos!

✅I'm extremely cautious and COMMUNICATIVE. Because that's what I would expect if I placed my fur babies into someone else's care. This includes if they have certain habits, or if I have any uncertainties. They are under my responsibility and I don't take it lightly.

-📞24/7 Contact: You'll be able to text AND call me anytime if you have any worries or simply just miss your pets!

🔔Frequent updates: I can send photo and video updates multiple times a day so you can relax stress free!

🗣️MOST IMPORTANTLY: if I experience any trouble, I am willing to consult you IMMEDIATELY. I won't leave you in the dark and tell you what happened after.

My Services:

🦮Dog walking: 30 mins to an hour depending on what you request. Please provide potty bags and your leash, and any additional items such as treat bags if needed.

We will walk around Flagstaff Gardens as I live right next to it. Also around the CBD!

🐱🐶Pet daycare: There will ALWAYS be someone at home!!! If i have to leave it will be 30 minutes max, but my brother will be home. Everything is included! Just give me the schedules and i'll handle the rest. I normally wake up around 10:30am and sleep at 2am, but of course happy to adjust, i'm super flexible and have no trouble waking up earlier!

🏡Home visits: Has to be near my address, no more than 15 minutes public transport.

🐶🐱 Pet boarding: I will be home 99% and will not leave more more than two hours. My brother will be home. If I know I'll have to be away for more than two hours, I will not make that day available on my profile.

Dog walking is an add on with an additional charge at 10AUD/hr.

🙏 I am very respectful of peoples spaces. I don't touch anything I'm not supposed to, or go anywhere I'm not supposed to.

🕐I'm available to visit anytime from 10am to 7pm. My schedule varies because of the nature of my work, so some flexibility (+- 2 to 3 hours) works best for me!

I will treat your pets with respect and plenty of affection, as if they were my own. They will 100% be adored and cared for.

Extra notes: please consult me if you have any concerns with your pets (e.g. special diets, practices, personalities, not friendly to strangers) Thank you!
