Hello! My name is Noah and my partner Hazel and I live in Preston, in the north of Melbourne. I am an experienced pet sitter, carer, fosterer and dog trainer with pet service/training qualifications and offer pet sitting, walking, and training sessions. I offer walk training if your dog has issues on leash with pulling, if needed. I have owned dogs, cats and pocket pets since childhood and pets/animals have always been a special interest of mine. I have my Cert III in Companion Animal Services including dog and cat husbandry, dog training, grooming, basic healthcare/First Aid and medication administering and am confident working with anxious dogs or dogs with some more complex behavioural needs. I have a passion for dog training and am going on to further study my Cert IV in Animal Behaviour and Training next year to continue to expand my skills and clientele in dog training professionally. I am open to looking after dogs of all sizes and have experience working with Medium/Large-Giant breeds so no dog is too big or too small here, though size-wise with our house we can only accommodate 1 other large dog at a time. I also have extensive experience with pocket pets like rats and guinea pigs. We both work from home so have a lot of time to spend with your pup in the times when you may not be able to. In my home I have a retired relaxed 6yo (fortunately cat friendly and near zero prey drive) greyhound male and a 2 year old old Standard size Aussiedoodle male. They are cat friendly, adore people and are friendly with all types of other dogs. They are all well socialised with other dogs and used to co-existing with them as we often take on foster dogs outside of pet-sitting time periods. They are both desexed and up to date with all vaccs etc We also have a little old lady cat who is very dog adjusted and mostly keeps to herself, except in the morning sun she is usually found grooming one of the dogs which is very cute. She has her own hideaways if she needs a break. We require dogs to be cat safe if staying in our home, though Millie is very used to dogs and extremely dog tolerant if they are a bit boisterous she will just go hang out elsewhere. I have my dogs indoors with me most of the time as we work from home so are most often here, and they sleep indoors. We have a small back patio, and a larger front grassed yard which is fully securely fenced. We also live a few houses down from a large park that is great to walk around, and are local to the Preston shops strip which is also a great walk. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet!
