Hello, I'm from Vancouver, Canada and studying for a psychology PhD at Usydney. I'm a loving dog "Aunty" since I can't commit to my own dog!

I absolutely love the companionship of dogs so I decided to make it my official part-time job during my PhD.

I live right beside Sydney park and I am a huge fan of long walks with a podcast and a doggo. I am starting to establish a regular dog sitting relationship with families in my neighbourhood and I would love to find more fur friends. 

Our apartment building is extremely pet friendly and spacious (there's even a groomer and vet down stairs!). I have two big, well enclosed covered balconies and a big washable beanbag chair your dog will love. 

I'm very happy to stick strictly to your dog's dietary and walking/training needs. We love to have dog cuddles on the couch but can resist if need be! I generally stick to on leash walking until we’re both really comfortable with coming back. 

I like to take lots of pictures to send while sitting (mostly with my iphone but I sometimes pull out my pro camera or polaroid). If your dog is ok for a car ride, I love to walk around the dog beach near the airport. 

My partner is a lovely dog loving fellow who will be looking after your pet also and will come along to meet and greets if available :) 

What a booking with me looks like: 

-Let's do a meet and greet at Sydney Park first to chat in person. Please note I only take dogs who are up to date with their vaccines and are house-trained :) 

-Drop off your dog at my place with their bed, favourite toys and food 

-Throughout their stay, I'll send photo or video updates to keep you in the loop on how they're going at my place. 

-Your dog has free access to anywhere in our home and we'll be doing walks at Sydney Park at least 3x/day. Your dog will also have access to a fake grass wee corner on our balcony

-I never have more than 2 dogs at a time unless the third is one of my regular day-time only dogs

-For pick-up, I'm happy to be flexible, just keep me in the loop about your plans so I can work around them 

Top features of my service:

✓ Large, secure unit directly bordering the extremely dog friendly Sydney Park and close to Sydney International Airport
