I offer dog walking and home pet visit services in the St Kilda area. Discounts are available based on travel requirements to your home.

I have worked as a veterinary nurse, kennel hand, and behavior and training assistant in Australia and the USA for over a decade. Each pet has their own quirks and needs and it's always a pleasure to get to know them.

My standard dog walks are 30 minutes but longer sessions can be booked as a double. As a walker I am committed to the safety of your pup. I will not put them into any dangerous situations while in my care.

I am happy to work with you as a trainer one on one, but every walk is a training opportunity and I am careful to make sure I am enforcing good behaviors and minimising risk of misbehavior by cutting it off before it begins. Using praise, toys, and treats (when appropriate) makes for an exciting and fun time for your dog.

For pet home visits I spend around 30 minutes in the home for feeding, watering, litter scooping/toileting, playtime, cuddles, and 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 injuries, puppies, 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!
