Violet

Hi hey hello my names Violet ✌️

I'm a stay at home homeschooling mum to two kiddos aged 8 and 11. We love to spend our days baking, reading and hanging out at the local beaches and parks. We share our home with an adorable smoochy rag doll cat named Luna who is extremely friendly and as you will see from the photos above, very used to dogs. She loves to snuggle up with all of our furry guests. We enjoy living the coastal lifestyle on the Sunshine Coast.

I have been pet sitting professionally for 4 years now as I truly find it enjoyable combining my passion for animals and my love for meeting lots of new people. Our home is big, welcoming and very cosy. We all absolutely love animals and have a blast with them when they come to stay with us. We lost our beloved 14 year old Shih Tzu named Buddy during the pandemic and pet sitting has been a lovely way to enjoy some furry company. We always have someone home which is handy for any elderly pets or puppies requiring more attention. We have tiled floors (incase of accidents), air-conditioning, cooling pads for the summer, plus 2 living areas so lots of cosy places to find somewhere to snuggle up. We aren't precious about them laying on furniture or our laps if they like, however will respect and follow whatever rules you follow at home to remain consistent so they don't pick up bad habits during their stay. I change water twice daily, take them for a walk each morning plus give lots of cuddles and pats and there is always access outside throughout the day for loo breaks.

We live across the road from a large park and several minutes from a fully enclosed dog park which is perfect for daily walks or to throw around a ball if they are able to go off lead. We sometimes take them to the beach to toss around a ball or stick as well if we get permission from you (their owners) before their stay. At home we have a medium sized backyard for playtime with very high fences and are only 15-20 minutes from an emergency 24 hour vet for extra peace of mind.

During your pets stay I take photos and send you regular updates while you are away so that you can rest assured that your fur baby is happy while you're away. I will usually be in touch the day prior to booking commencement to arrange a drop off or collection time and usually have all of their things washed and ready to go home at the end of their stay to make pickups fast and smooth as most families are tired from travelling and just want to get home.

If you think I'd be a good match to look after and love on your furry little friend while you're away then please drop me a message and we can arrange a meet and greet and if everyones happy then we can get you booked in!

IMPORTANT BOOKING INFO: All pets that come to stay must be up to date with vaccination, flea and worming treatments. Any bookings made from October 1st-Feb 1st my refund policy changes from Flexible to Moderate to avoid any last minute bookings and cancellations. This means you will be required to give 7 days notice if needing to cancel your booking instead of the usual 24 hours. This prevents people booking my services as a backup plan during the Christmas holidays and cancelling last minute over the Christmas period therefore saving me a loss at my most busiest time of year. Long term stays longer than 18 days will require a trial stay prior to booking for any NEW clients unless owners are out of state. This one night stay ensures your pet gets used to myself and my family prior to their stay and gives me an opportunity to be sure they're a good fit for a long stay period. This can simply be a one night stay booked with me at a much reduced rate on a suitable day prior to your booking commencement. This ensures your pets stay is a smooth one and reduces their anxiety while you're away giving them time to get used to myself and my family and to their new environment while you're gone.
