Tricia

Hi there! My name is Tricia.

I've always had a huge love for animals and have grown up with a variety of them all my life - including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, guinea pigs and even birds, many of which I've had the responsibility of taking care of myself.

I love to be around animals because they bring out the best and happiest side of me. I am currently studying as an international student here in Melbourne. Being away from my dog, Asher, for such a long time and not being able to have a furry companion with me has led me to offer pet-sitting services. It's a win-win scenario since I get to help others and at the same time, enjoy the company of pets again. The chance to earn a little extra money is a great bonus, especially since international students pay higher school fees. I've been trying to find flexible work (because of my classes) to do during my free time and pet/house-sitting sounds absolutely perfect.

I have done attachments with a veterinary clinic before so I am well-equipped with giving medication to animals - including oral, ears, powders for skin issues, etc. On top of that, my time with the veterinary clinic and with my own pets have given me ample experience in handling and caring for animals. During my time pet-sitting, I will be sure to play with and entertain your pets or allow them to snuggle by my side on the couch, whichever they prefer based on their temperament and mood. I will definitely follow your instructions pertaining to feeding and medication timings, and would never offer or allow your pets to consume other foods in case of allergies or toxicity. I would treat your pets as I would my own and would love to provide them with the best care possible.
