My life in Australia:
I am looking for jobs around the city but would prefer to work as a pet sitter because I like animals more, ahahaha and I am quite introverted so working in shops seemed scary for my first job overseas. I have also been missing my dog alot and since I am living in a rented apartment, I can't get a foster pet or anything like that here so I am hoping that pet sitting would give me some happiness and occupy some time when I don't have classes going on. I don't have previous experiences in pet sitting, but I guess owning a pet is my experience :)

Get to know me/my pet/my story:
I mostly had to take care of my dog alone before back home, because I have a mum that dislikes animal, so she just feeds him sometimes when I'm in school, and I will do the rest like walking, playing, and cleaning up. I guess I am good with vaccinated or unvaccinated animals, because I had to get a rabies shot last time as I got bit by a stray dog in a restaurant back home. I guess that was a lesson that I should've listened from my parents, because they have always told me not to touch or pet stray animals anywhere :') Buttt I still haven't fully learned that lesson, as you can see from my profile gallery, because I still loveee petting and taking pictures of every animal I come across on the street etc.

Responsibility:
- Feeding and cleaning up after pets
- Keep clean/clean the house 
- Prioritize communication and keeping up to date on expectations and activities 

Hope that you trust me to care for your pet! I promise they will get lots of cuddles and good care from me <3
