I am a passionate animal lover and have dedicated my life to animal welfare and education. My education history includes a Bachelor of Animal Ecology along with a Cert VI in Government Investigations focusing on animal welfare. I have completed placements at the RSPCA, Australia Zoo and Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge Centre. Alongside this I have undertaken behavioural analysis on primates at Wildlife HQ and also spent 6 weeks in Cambodia working on sun bear conservation.

My current role is Assistant Hospital Coordinator for a large Veterinary Hospital in Brisbane. We handle both small animals (cats, dogs, small mammals) and large animals (horses, cattle). Within my role I manage all aspects of a busy 24/7 veterinary hospital.

I grew up in NZ with pet sheep, goats, dogs, cats, birds + fish, my best friend had multiple stables so I was riding horses most weekends when I wasn't rescuing stray animals.

My partner of 7 years is an electrician currently studying a second trade. We love listening to records, hanging out with our friends and playing pool. We are currently saving to buy our own property at the end of next year.

My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from both having the experience around animal health, knowing how to triage animals and most importantly be surrounded by the beautiful animals of Brisbane

We have a beautiful greyhound named Ralph who we rescued from the racing industry. He loves cuddles and going for walks in the park and is adjusting so well to his new life.

I am offering:

- Daily house visits, morning and afternoon, anytime on weekends. Will include essential feeding, mental stimulation, toileting and medications.

- Overnight house sitting so your pet can remain comfortable at home.

- Dog walking and play. Available to take to locations via driving if approved (parks etc)

- I can administer oral medications.

- I have experience in palliative care so understand the needs of our older friends.
