For brief bookings of day visits, I am currently looking to minimise social contact as much as possible. I hope you may feel comfortable providing instructions and access to a key if needed and looking to minimise meet n greets with owners.

** Please note I am not currently taking on new house-sitting clients, only those who I have looked after previously.

*I am unable to undertake daycare or visits where owners require a playmate for their pet because of long work hour commitments.

Currently, I live in a townhouse in Wilston and am not allowed to have pets. It’s lovely being able to help owners be able to take a break without having the concern of whether or not their furkids will be loved, if they can't go along.

It's important, I feel, to make sure things stay as normal as possible for the furkids. My aim is to help your furkids experience as normal a routine as possible whilst you are away.

Every client has been a complete joy to look after...and their human owners aren't bad either! I've learnt many clients are looking to improve diet and find ways to help their pets be happier, healthier and calmer without the use of medications.

The Complete Pet Food company provides all-natural food for your pets nutritional needs in Brisbane. I also recommend Rover Pet Products for a therapeutic pet bed which is cool in summer, warm in winter (and is chew-resistant) for superb comfort during recovering from injury, surgery or sore joints from an older age.

You might also want to consider the use of essential oil blends in a diffuser to help calm your pets should they experiencing nervous behaviours. Please gain professional consult as to the right use of oils with your pets. Some oils are toxic and harmful.

As a psychologist, I promote looking to refrain from using prescription medications as much as possible, if it can be avoided.
