About Sarah

Hello, I’m Sarah, and I’ve cared for dogs since childhood. With over 10 years of pet-sitting experience, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your dog.

I share my spacious one-bedroom apartment with my 6 year-old Jack Russell, Lulu. We live in a dog-friendly area close to parks, beaches and cafes. I offer day care and overnight stays in my home, as well as pet sitting in your home, for small dogs over one year old.

I only accept one booking at a time and arrange my availability around my work-from-home days, so your dog is never left alone and receives plenty of individual attention. 

During their stay, your dog will enjoy regular walks, playtime, enrichment activities and mental stimulation. I don't take dogs to dog parks, preferring relaxed walks where they have plenty of opportunities to sniff, explore and take in their surroundings at their own pace. I'm also happy to adapt our daily routine to suit their individual needs and preferences. 

Your dog will be treated with plenty of affection and is welcome to relax on the sofa or even curl up in my bed. I understand that staying in an unfamiliar home or spending time with someone new can be stressful for some dogs. I pay close attention to their body language to recognise signs of anxiety, fear or overstimulation, and provide a calm, safe and comfortable environment where they can feel at ease. 

I'll also keep you updated with photos and videos so you can see how your dog is getting on each day.

Lulu is desexed, vaccinated and toilet-trained. Your dog must also be desexed, vaccinated, toilet-trained and comfortable sharing their space with another small dog. A meet-and-greet is compulsory before confirming any booking to ensure compatibility. 

As we live in an apartment, I take the dogs outside regularly for toilet breaks, and there is also a designated area on the balcony they can use. 

A little more about me:

  • Certified in positive-reinforcement concept dog training and pet first aid
  • Currently studying a Diploma in Clinical Canine Behaviour
  • Current AFP National Police Check
  • Car available for veterinary visits if required 
  • References available upon request        

I'm happy to answer any questions you may have and discuss your dog's individual needs.

I look forward to welcoming your furry friend into our home or caring for them in yours.
