Thank you for viewing my profile! ----------
I love caring for your precious pets while you are away. I specialize in dog and cat care, having had a wealth of experience through my studies, volunteering, work placements and career in domestic animal husbandry. I practice "Positive Reinforcement" and "Low stress handling" training and handling techniques as I firmly believe in creating a strong bond with pets through a loving, safe and thoughtful relationship. Games, play, walks, cuddles, and tending to any of your pet's unique needs is my passion!
The services I offer are:
-------- ***** PET SITTING AT YOUR RESIDENCE ***** ----------
While you are away you can be rest assured that your beloved family member is in experienced and devoted hands, being cared for lovingly in the comfort of their own home. I will happily provide walks, playtime, cuddles and pats as well as ensure any training and manners work and rules are adhered to. You will receive regular updates with pictures. Your pets care routine will be diligently maintained. I have experience in administering oral medications and insulin injections, wound care and bathing. I'm happy to accommodate home care needs such as taking bins out, watering plants, bringing mail inside etc.

I've experience in exotic pet care including birds, rats, guinea pigs and rabbits.

Under my wing your pet will receive love, undivided attention and professional care. Don't hesitate to ask me any questions regarding my services offered, I'm happy to help accommodate you and your beloved pet's needs. Kindest regards, Sherrie
We had a few cat sitters before, and I would say Sherrie is the best one ever. The house is in good order when we are back. My cats are happy and love her so much. We will surely ask her for help next time. Highly recommended.
Sherrie saved us and our weekend trip to Melbourne when our friends had to cancel last minute. She was professional, friendly and so good with Beau. Our house was spotless when we came home. We can't recommend her enough. This was our first pawshake experience and we will definitely be using Sherrie again.
