Hi there! Thank you for considering me to look after your pet (or pets).
A bit about me and my experience:
I have lived in Sydney’s Inner West for over 10 years. I grew up in Wollongong, and still have a lot of family there.

As most of my petsitting work has been in the Inner City and Inner West, I have become very familiar with apartment-suitable dogs, such as Poodles and Pugs.
But I have cared for a wide range of dog breeds, too many to list, from Pomeranians (smallest) to Greyhounds (largest).
I’ve looked after cats too. Most have been tabbies, though I have cared for purebreds ... I looked after a Bengal, and even a Sphinx once!
As a pet sitter, I’m attentive and responsible when it comes to feeding, exercise and other aspects of your pets routine. I like to think of myself as their substitute pet-parent, and would get info from you on their routines so that I could step in and provide them the comfort they’re used to.
When staying in your home, I’m respectful - by nature, I’m a clean and tidy person - and am happy to look after the house, garden/plants, fish, receive parcels, etc. Just let me know what you need.
My favourite thing about pet sitting is getting to experience a variety of different environments. I’m especially fond of cats and dogs who enjoy cuddles! I love exploring new areas, and all the better if I have the company of a four legged friend (woof)!
*Additional*
I offer dog walking and doggy day care too. I prefer to walk one dog at a time, but can take two if they are comfortable and well behaved with each other. If you would like your pet to spend time at my house, please consider if a very small apartment is suitable.
Please get in touch, I’d love to hear from you!
Fantastic experience. Rebecca arrived on time, was easy to communicate with, and immediately bonded with Monty. We can’t wait to have her back again.
Rebecca was amazing! Not only did our cats LOVE her, she left our house sparkly clean, and with lovely groceries in the fridge. She kept in contact while we were away, and sent us photos. One of our cats is diabetic, which means he needs two injections each day, which Rebecca handled really well. We had a visit at our house to go over the basics before we left for our holiday, and she took notes and made sure she was across everything. We would highly recommend her, and look forward to having Rebecca back in the future.
Dog walking - long walks are my specialty, since I genuinely love walking.
Litter cleaning - keeping it clean by cleaning it frequently is better than facing it every 3 days say.
All the normal stuff...
When it comes to pet sitting, I am keen to follow pets' established routines wherever possible. In this way, I aim to be the pet's substitute parent, doing the things you would do, including spending the amount of time with them as what they are used to.
My goal is that your pets don't suffer in the slightest because you need to take time away. I make sure they are looked after as normal. And you return to happy and healthy pets.
