About Lacey

Hi I'm Lacey! I have worked with dogs and cats for almost 15 years as a kennel hand, then veterinary nurse, and more recently as a behaviour and training assistant. Last year I moved back to Australia from the USA after a decade and am now starting my own business as a pet carer! Each pet has their own quirks and needs and it's always a pleasure to get to know these perfect little weirdos.

My standard dog walks are 30 minutes but hour-long sessions can be booked as a double. I recommend this for athletic and working breeds.

I am also happy to work with you as a trainer and I offer behaviour assessments to help you understand any issues you're having and how to work on the unwanted behaviours.

For pet home visits I spend 30 minutes in the home for feeding, watering, litter scooping/toileting, playtime, etc. I am also happy to add in any additional tasks such as medication administration, or grooming.

I am a positive reinforcement trained vet nurse. This means I use encouragement and reward, rather than punishment or pressure to communicate with the animal. While living in America I completed my Low Stress Handling, and Fear Free Professional certifications. I am experienced in dealing with behaviour issues as well as disabled or injured pets, puppies/kittens, and senior pets.

We want a fun experience for them from start to finish and I tailor my care to the pet to ensure this is the case.

I truly love my work and I can't wait to meet you and your furry family!

First time user of Pawshake and brand new pet parent. Booked Lacey for a 2x day visit. She was very thorough with her info gathering during the meet and greet and such a professional, warm & friendly person! Went on vacation feeling assured that my baby cat is well looked after. Updates were detailed and will definitely book again!

Lacey is a blessing, such an important part of our little man’s routine when we have to be away and leave him behind. Thank you as always Lacey
