I have grown up with animals and had pets all my life. I have previously fostered dogs for dog rescue teams in Victoria and have a lot of experience with animals, especially dogs and cats. I am available to drop by to feed, water & check on your pets once or twice a day or I can stay at your own home where your pets feel safe and secure while you enjoy a stress free holiday knowing that they are being well cared for. I do have a senior (14yo) kelpie x poodle of my own named Jimini Cricket. Jimini is a gorgeous, calm, gentle, non destructive girl. We are a package deal so she comes with me pretty much everywhere I go. She gets along very well with all kinds of animals and has even volunteered as a therapy dog in various dementia wards over the years. Because Jimini comes with me your animals must also be gentle, friendly with dogs & humans and slow no aggression whatsoever for us to be able to stay in your home. I've been housesitting very successfully for 6 years with nothing but 5* reviews on multiple sites and would be happy to provide if required. Feel free to ask me any questions. Marianne.
