We recently lost our beloved dog Inca. She was our everything, and while we miss having a dog around, we're not quite ready to welcome another pet permanently just yet. Caring for other people's pets is an excellent way for us to be around furbabies until the time is right to get our own again. Originally from Sweden, I came to Australia to train dogs after running my own dog training business back home. Although that chapter of my life was many years ago, my passion for animals has never changed. I have also spent considerable time rescuing and caring for cats. I have a particular soft spot for shy, nervous, or sensitive pets and enjoy helping them feel comfortable.My two daughters have been raised to be gentle, patient, and respectful around animals. They understand that every pet has different comfort levels and always allow animals to approach them in their own time. Having used pet sitters myself, I know how important it is to find a trustworthy carer for your pet. The right fit matters! If you choose us to care for your pet, we would be honoured to look after them. I’m happy to play with and walk pets for up to half an hour. My style with both my own dogs and clients have been gentle and respectful. Doesn’t mean ”anything goes” but I won’t use harsh punishment, rather positive reinforcement. I’m ok with reactive dogs as long as I can hold them. I’d prefer to avoid dog parks simply because of risks, but happy to discuss this if it’s important to you and your dog. :) I have my own car in case of emergencies. Happy to administer medication (oral), empty litter trays - whatever you need. I can’t see myself feeding snakes live baits though! lol Please note that I do not use crate training and will not accept bookings that require dogs to be left in closed crates.
