About Antonia

Hi! I’m Anto, an animal lover offering house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and day care across Melbourne. When I house sit, I stay at your place and keep your pet’s world exactly as it is so they barely notice you’re gone.

I grew up caring for two small dogs with special needs, which meant following very detailed daily routines — oral medications in both syrup and tablet form, home-prepared meals alongside their pellet diet, and walks paced to what their bodies could handle. That experience taught me to be patient, observant, and consistent: I notice the small changes that tell you something’s off, and I stick to the routines that keep a pet feeling safe. I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes and breeds, plus cats big and small, so whether you’ve got an energetic pup or a shy senior cat, they’re in good hands.

My walks usually run 30–45 minutes, adapted to each animal’s energy — a brisk loop for the young ones, a gentle stroll for seniors. I’m comfortable handling multiple pets in one household and giving each of them individual attention. If anything ever goes wrong, I stay calm: I keep your vet’s details and an emergency contact on hand, follow whatever plan we’ve agreed on, and keep you updated throughout.

I’m currently available full-time, which means flexible scheduling, reliable check-ins, and genuine one-on-one time with your pet. I treat every animal like my own and I’ll always keep you posted with photos and messages so you have peace of mind while you’re away.

Looking forward to meeting your furry family!
