About me:

Having grown up with pets my entire life, I’ve gained extensive experience in animal care and a deep love for all species. My passion for animals led me to volunteer in Nepal, where I worked with over 150 rescue dogs and earned an animal care certificate for my efforts.

I later moved to Bristol to pursue a career in natural history television, where I worked for over three years. When my contract ended, I began pet-sitting through the UK app Rover and spent nine months expanding my animal care experience. My time on Rover was incredibly fulfilling—I feel so lucky to have met and cared for so many wonderful animals. My time on the app helped me recognise that animal care is a field I’m truly passionate about and hope to develop a long-term career in.

I’ve recently moved back to Australia (I was born here but grew up in Scotland) and hope to build the same meaningful pet-sitting relationships I developed in the UK. I’m excited to start that journey again, and I hope Pawshake will be the place to do it.

Safety, trust & environment:

I've cared for dogs and cats of all breeds and ages—from playful puppies and curious kittens to more relaxed senior pets, those recovering from surgery or illness, and animals needing a bit of extra assistance due to special needs.

A typical day:

Whether you have a high-energy dog who needs long walks or a more laid-back companion who prefers restful days, I'm happy to adapt to any energy level. I love engaging with animals through play and I’m more than happy to practice any training you're working on. My goal is to make their time with me as fun and comfortable as possible, tailoring my care to their unique needs and preferences.
