About Steph

***I CANNOT TAKE DOGS OR CATS INTO MY OWN HOME***

I am a 30 something-year-old female with currently no pets of my own. I have a flexible schedule and my work is casual so I would love to fill my days by spending quality time with your pets while keeping your home safe. 

I love all animals and I have many years experience looking after my own pocket pets (rats, guinea pigs). I have also looked after and pet-sat for rabbits, mice, cockatiels, chickens, fish, some reptiles, dogs and cats. I'm happy to discuss caring for other critters that I haven't mentioned, I'd love to meet new species! See my photos for some of the many animals I've cared for and played with. 

In my spare time I like to make small animal hammocks so if I'm looking after your rodents (or obliging birds) there's a good chance I'll get creative with their cage and much fun will be had by all. 

I offer house sitting and pet sitting services and am experienced giving oral and topical medications. I can also take small contained pets (eg rodents, birds, NOT dogs or cats) into my own home but all enclosures and equipment would need to be provided. While house sitting I can be there all of the time to care for any of your pet's needs, only leaving for quick errands (eg supermarket) if necessary. I am neat and tidy, organised and can work well under pressure (evidence in last photo). I am definitely not a professional pet groomer but I'd love to give your pets a good brush if they like that too. I will also help with watering plants, collecting mail, putting out bins etc as required. 

I am currently only able to care for older, smaller or slower dogs as I am unable to take big active dogs on long fast daily walks. I can throw balls in your backyard all day though if that's what your pooch loves! And I would love to take your dog on a slower stroll around the block if that's the kind of pace that also suits them. 

My only mode of transport is bus/train/tram. I live in Sunshine but I am happy to travel further afield to housesit provided easy public transport is nearby. Home visits are only available for nearby houses or places very easily accessible by public transport. An additional charge may apply if your home is regional or in a location that will require me to uber to and fro.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for further clarification. I look forward to meeting with you and your family!

Steph is a great house and pet sitter. So helpful, really cares about animals and takes the job really seriously. We have three cats and she was there for them. She was very present with them, getting to know them and sending us lots of updates. The cats told us they'd like us to have her back! Thrilled to have found a good pet sitter and we will use Steph's services again! Thanks again Steph 🙂
