Lifelong animal lover and pet owner available to visit and care for your pets when you're away. I'm a stay-at-home mother of two school-age children so very responsible and community minded.
Also available to walk your dog while you're at work, so FIFO pet lovers rejoice.
I grew up in the country (NSW) and we owned English bull terriers, Staffordshires, Kelpies and mixed-breed dogs including Rottweiler and Ridgeback mixes. The full list of pets that I have owned includes:
birds,
rabbits,
guinea pigs,
dogs,
cats and I also have some experience with chickens.
I am comfortable with both small and large breeds of dogs. I own a miniature bull terrier who my kids named Hazelnut Chocolate that I absolutely love. She is definitely part of the family.
I have experience administering medication to both dogs and cats. I will keep your pets' litter and food bowls clean and your home tidy while you're away enjoying yourselves. Happy to send lots of pics for regular reassurance.
Time with your pets will be a priority after the feeding and cleaning is done. Lots of cuddles and pats and playing with toys will help to keep your pets happy and not pining for their owners too much.
Happy to also take bins in and out and water your pot plants.

Before she passed recently, my cat Blueberry had been with us for over 15 years and she was a rescue off the streets of Inner West Sydney. We flew her to WA just like part of the family.
I also rescued a stray cat in Kalgoorlie when we lived there by trapping him in a cage we rented from the Rangers. He was living under our rental house and he eventually became a well-loved family member.
Our other cat Shadow was also 'rescued' from SAFE Kalgoorlie and now lives with us in Perth.
Our dog is an English bull terrier. This is a breed not recommended for inexperienced pet owners. This breed is excitable and stubborn and requires a lot of patience and consistency in training.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
