I am a non-smoking Australian/ English research nurse, with a love of animals. In fact, I am passionate about animals! I have completed courses titled 'Animal Welfare and Behaviour', 'Dog Emotion and Cognition' and ‘Dog Walking and Pet Home Sitting’ to help me care for animals better. I have also completed Animal First Aid. (Certificates available on request.) And I have volunteered, as a dog walker, with the RSPCA. I have been looking after pets and house sitting for over 4 years - mostly for my friends. If you choose me to visit / walk / feed your pet(s), my commitment to you, is that they will be extremely well cared for and their usual habits maintained (as much as possible). As well as visiting / walking / feeding your beloved pet(s), I will also treat your home, garden with great respect. I am trustworthy, reliable, honest, caring and compassion. I enjoy such things as nature, cycling, reading, listening to music, the arts, and quiet nights at home, cuddling pets! I will take extremely good care of your pets and home. References and police check are available on request. ** PLEASE NOTE, unfortunately, for a number of reasons, I can only accept requests to visit / walk / feed pets in the suburbs of Melbourne (3004) and South Yarra. Sincere apologies for any disappointment caused**.
