Hi! I'm a huge animal lover who's always growing up with family dogs and now having an affectionate and healthy 5 year old orange cat of my own, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable and loved. I'm confident caring for pets with a range of personalities, whether they're playful and energetic, independent, shy or anxious. I take a calm, patient approach to building trust and always adapt my care to suit each pet's individual needs. I recently returned to Melbourne after spending 10 months travelling throughout Latin America, where I volunteered at a local humane society and gained valuable hands on experience caring for animals in need. This experience strengthened my understanding of animal behaviour and reinforced the importance of patience, consistency and compassionate care. I'm currently available for doggy day care 2 to 3 days a week on my WFH days, weekends and for overnight stays. For walkies, I typically provide 45–60 minute walks to ensure pets receive plenty of exercise, enrichment and attention. During house visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, toilet breaks and general wellbeing checks. I also offer house sitting services, including overnight and extended stays, to help maintain your pet's usual routine while you're away. I'm comfortable administering basic medications, including oral medication and eye drops, I carefully follow any instructions provided by owners. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pets, so I provide regular updates, photos and messages throughout walkies, visits and stays to give you complete peace of mind. I am also happy to bring in mail, water plants and help look after your home while you're away. Your pet's wellbeing, happiness and safety are always my top priorities. Pets are family and I would love the opportunity to provide them with the same care, attention and affection that I would want for my own.
