I have recently relocated to the Redcliffe Peninsular after having lived on Sydney's Northern Beaches for the last 12 years. I love dogs and all kinds of animals, and your pet(s) will be in excellent care.
I am open to day visits, dog walking and daycare on the Redcliffe peninsula and overnight house sitting anywhere on the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast or Redcliffe.
I have volunteered at a dog rescue for over 3 years, as a kennel hand, dog walker, customer service person and enrichment / dog cudder. I have experience with a range of breeds, mostly medium to large size, but am also comfortable with small dogs.
I have been house and pet sitting since September and have looked after cats as well as dogs. The feedback has always been great, see below for more. I will treat your pets and your property as my own.
I currently don't have a pet of my own, so I am keen to spend time with dogs and other pets until I can adopt a dog once I have settled in here. I work mostly from home, so am pretty flexible.
I offer dog walking, overnight pet sitting in your own home and house visits.
Here are some of my reviews:
Looking after a pug cross with separation anxiety and 2 older cats: "Yvonne has certainly set the bar very high! I could not have asked for a better person to entrust my home and fur babies with. I was completely at ease leaving them with her and knew they were in very capable hands. Yvonne is clearly very experienced with house and pet sitting. She knew all the right questions to ask and offered to have a meet and greet prior to my going away. Thorough, trustworthy and just lovely with my babies. And they loved her! Thank you so much Yvonne. We hope to have you come and stay again!"
Where I house sat together with my partner:
Looking after a blue heeler pup (7 months) south of Brisbane: "My partner and I went overseas for a 10 days. We came back to a spotless house and our pup Billy loved them both. They played with him daily, took him for daily walks and cared for him. I appreciate so much I would highly recommend them. They did an awesome job taking Billy to the vets when he hurt himself and giving him the medication. I look forward to them both returning to house/pet sit again."
Looking after 2 cats (an indoor ragdoll and a mostly outdoor coon) and 2 dogs (a six year old maltese cross and a 6 months old lab/staffy cross): "What a pleasure to host and trust Yvonne and Andy with our home and fur family. Our home and pets were very well taken care of. A truly genuine couple. Excellent communication. I have no hesitation recommending them as responsible, clean and trustworthy housesitters and will look to book them again in future. Thanks for making our first house sitting experience so comfortable and easy."
Looking after 2 samoyeds: "Yvonne and Andy were absolutely amazing. We can't rave about them enough. They loved our babes and our house like their own. We would be more then happy to have them back to look after our dogs and house."
