Amy

Hi there! My name is Amy, I'm a 37 year old psychologist living in the Footscray area. I have lifelong experience of pet ownership with both cats and dogs starting from childhood, and some experience with rabbits and birds as well. I adore animals of all kinds and love getting to know the personalities of each individual pet. 

I have had many cats and dogs over the course of my lifetime, often multiple at one time. I have lived with various different breeds and sizes of dogs from small (chihuahua and mini terriers) to large (rottweiler). I am confident with them and understand body language of cats and dogs. I have my own cat, Willa who is 10 years old, and I also foster cats through an ethical organisation on occasion. 

I'm very patient with getting to know each pet's personality, likes and dislikes, and allowing them time and space to feel comfortable with having me around. I pride myself particularly on helping very anxious kitties adjust and feeling safe with having me, a new person, in their space by going slowly at their own pace and using positive reinforcement. I never use punishment, intimidation, or withhold love. 

I offer 30 minute home visits to your furry loved one(s) while you are away to give them companionship, time to play, go for walks, and make sure their needs are taken care of. I will also send photos and an update on how your pet is doing at each visit, so you can rest assured they are getting the love and attention they deserve. Dog walks are 30 minutes plus some time for feeding and other necessary tasks. 

If you're interested in using my services, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'm very friendly and open in my communication!

Amy
