Hi! My name is Ailen, and I’m a veterinarian from Argentina and animal lover, now living in the suburbs of Melbourne. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking in Australia since arriving 5 months ago, and I also have several years of pet sitting experience back in my hometown.

I grew up surrounded by animals (at one point living with three dogs and three cats, all with very different personalities) so I’m very familiar with different temperaments, needs, and energy levels. I always aim to provide calm, attentive, and loving care, treating every pet as if they were my own.

Thanks to my veterinary studies, I have a strong understanding of animal behavior, body language, and health care. I know how to read subtle signs and make pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and breeds.

I don’t have any pets at home at the moment, so your friend will get my full attention. I offer flexible pet sitting, either at my place or at the owner’s home, and I’m also available for dog walking.

About my services: I offer pet sitting (at my place or the owner’s home), dog walking, and basic training. I can also administer oral, inyectable or topical medication.

Number of pets: I only board one dog at a time to ensure they get all the attention they deserve.

Dog walks: Each walk lasts around 30–45 minutes, and I usually offer two walks per day.

Time spent with pets: I spend most of the day with them. I’m working part-time, but I organize my schedule around the animals I look after. My partner works from home and is around most of the day, so there’s almost always someone at home to supervise guest pets.

Home environment: I live in an apartment with a small backyard (not fenced), so dogs are always supervised when outside.
