I have a lot of experience taking care of all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to reptiles, birds, and even hamsters. While I’d love to get close to every animal I meet, I really value their individual differences. I respect their personal space, their privacy, and—most importantly—their willingness to interact. Every pet has their own pace when meeting a stranger, so I am especially good with sensitive pets that need extra time and patience to feel comfortable.

I actually live this every day, as I currently stay with my housemate’s sensitive dog. I’ve learned exactly how to give a nervous pup the space they need while still being a supportive friend. My personality is naturally gentle and chill, and I am very detail-oriented. I stay attentive to those tiny signs—like a flick of an ear or a change in appetite—that tell me if a pet is feeling off.

I’m based in the St Kilda and Balaclava area and have a very flexible schedule, so I can work around your pet’s specific routine. I take my responsibility seriously and care for every pet like they are my own baby. You can leave your furry (or scaly!) friends with me without any worries at all!
