I'm a 46-year-old mum of two sons, a non-smoker and non-drinker, and a retired athlete who still loves to stay active. Walking and running are my favourite ways to spend time, so your dog will have an enthusiastic companion! Horses are my second great passion. I've been riding for many years and try to spend time with horses every week.

I was born and raised in Estonia, in a small town where our family always had several dogs and cats, and over the years I've also had rat and other animals. I spent every childhood summer on my grandparents' farms, surrounded by animals, and that's where my love for them began. Even as a child, dogs always seemed to trust me, including the ones who wouldn't let anyone else near them.

These days I share my home with Lotte, my beautiful 9-year-old Staffy. Before moving to Australia I had a German Shepherd, and I've fully trained all my dogs myself. I'm confident with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from gentle seniors to strong, lively breeds.

I work full time but have flexible days working from home, plus free weekends, so I can fit around your schedule.

Walks are up to 30 minutes in your dog's own neighbourhood, along their usual streets or at nearby parks and dog parks, so they stay somewhere familiar. Not every dog needs a long walk (my senior girl prefers a gentle stroll!), so we'll agree on what suits yours.

Home visits last 20–30 minutes and always include food, fresh water, any medication you'd like me to give, playtime and plenty of pats and belly scratches. Every pet and home is different, so I'll follow your pet's usual routine. I'm also a photographer, so you can expect some lovely photo updates while you're away!

I've used pet-sitting services myself, so I know how hard it is when work runs late or you need to travel. I'll treat your pet like my own, so you can relax knowing they're happy and safe.
