Hi there! I'm Abbey, born and raised in Melbourne in a house full of dogs and cats (and occasionally lizards, birds, rabbits, and fish!). Living with animals of all kinds since I was young has given me years worth of experience with all levels of personality and behaviours (even the spicy ones!) and taught me how to respect all animals & their boundaries✨ I currently work full time from home and find that I get restless being stuck inside for days at a time so I started visiting my neighbour's and family's pets to change up my schedule and make some new fur-co-workers. This was so revolutionary that I decided to get onto pawshake to meet even more little critters to fill up my cup! My wife also won't let us adopt any more furfriends (surely one more won't hurt???) but I have ENDLESS love for little creatures so I love that pet-sitting allows me to spend time with other little furry pals for a bit and give them as much love as I can!💖 From personal experience, I know that leaving my furfamily at home by themselves is one of my biggest anxieties when I go away. When I leave them, I want to know it is with someone who is going to love them as much as I do With me, you will get peace of mind that your baby is loved, cuddled, enriched, fed, brushed, and pampered while you are away - and yes, you will get updates about your baby as I know missing them is the worst part of any time away! Volunteering at a cat rescue (Strong Hearts) has helped me learn how to medicate cats and give even the spiciest and shyest members the time of day 💖 If your cat needs a human to change their litter and cuddle them in their fave lounge spot while you are away or your dog needs a friend to play with while you're at work, let me know and I will be there!✨ Looking forward to meeting you and your furfriend soon!
