They say that animals and children are excellent judges of character . Both are drawn to me . I’m sure that they can see inside of my heart to reveal a warm, friendly, positive person . I’m blessed !
I have recently relocated to WA and am only able to offer pet sitting / house sitting in the pets home .
I’m a retired primary school teacher with a working with children check and a police clearance . I owned a horse farm in the Yarra Valley Victoria for 15 years and divided my time between emergency teaching , looking after people’s horses , training horses , training dogs , instructing horse riding and breeding horses .
I am comfortable and capable with all pets although I must admit that my time on the farm gave me a “keep your distance “ attitude towards reptiles . Right now is the first time in my 57 years of life that I have not owned my own dog . My beloved dogs died within 6 months of each other in 2018 .
I sold my farm in 2017 and downsized. I travel to Africa regularly to volunteer so I am not wanting to commit to my own pet . Being a trusted pet nanny combines my love of animals and my passion for helping people and pets perfectly !
I currently work as a disability and aged care support worker which further capitalised on my caring personality . I love this role and thrive on caring for all creatures great and small .
I am fistidious about communication, honesty and integrity . I have a strong eye for detail and give 100% . I will always treat you and your pet exactly as I would like to be treated myself . I’m also an experienced trainer . Should you have any questions or require personal references please do not hesitate to ask . I look forward to being of service to you , your pet and taking care of your home with the utmost of care while you enjoy a well deserved break .
Thank you .
