I have been working with animals in various roles and settings for 8+ years including shelter and rescue, vet clinics, training and behaviour, private walks and sitting, and wedding chaperoning.

SERVICES

🐶 Walks - 30 minutes to 1 hour. Walks can range from slow, sniffy enrichment walks to high energy, depending on your dog’s needs. Let’s chat and make a plan together! All walks are private, so I can give all my attention to your dog/s. Available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday, 9am to 5pm. Time of walk will be confirmed via message evening prior, once my schedule is finalised.

🐶🐱 House visits - 30 minute visit including feeding, toileting, litter box or yard clean up, play time, cuddles and medicating (if required). Available most days - see calendar to confirm availability. AM or PM visit, or both!

MORE ABOUT ME

🫶 I have loved dogs all my life! I grew up with dogs, have volunteered for a shelter, been a foster carer for rescue dogs and cats, worked as a vet nurse, run puppy classes, chaperoned dogs at weddings and walked and sat many dogs for clients, friends and family.

🐶 I have an adopted dog of my own, she's a three-legged staffy named Margie! We spend our time together cuddled up on the couch or going for fun, sniffy walks. 

👩🏻 I volunteer as a case manager for a local rescue group. My role is to assess dogs and make sure they get the best care while in their foster homes, and eventually find them their perfect forever home. I occasionally assist with my rescue's cats and kittens (getting lots of cuddles in where I can). I also work as a Wedding Day Pet Assistant, chaperoning dogs on their parents' wedding day and helping them be involved in ceremony and photos.

ABOUT YOUR PET

I would love to meet you and your pets. I know how important it is to have someone you trust when leaving your precious family members in someone else's care.

It is important to recognise signs of fear, anxiety and stress in animals and I use fear free and force free techniques to help reduce these feelings. I endeavour to help your pet's emotional wellbeing so they can be their best self! 

Walks are great for not only physical exercise, but also mental stimulation! I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and temperaments. You can feel secure knowing that your dog's time with me will be filled with love and joy. I truly enjoy getting to know dogs and their unique personalities. 

During a house visit I will ensure your pet gets special love and attention, whether this be a scritch behind the ear or a play with their favourite toy. If I'm lucky maybe I'll get a happy pur from your cat or some kisses from your dog. I check for any potential hazards or safety issues before leaving, so you can put your mind at ease.

Please get in touch and we can discuss how I can assist you and your pet! 😊
