Chiara

I'm Chiara, I'm in my late 30's and grew up in Sydney and relocated to Newcastle two years ago to be closer to family. I work full time in Marketing for a company based in Sydney, so I have to go into the office 1-2 days a week. Unfortunately that means I can't have pets of my own right now.

I love animals and grew up with two cats and a dog (a bull mastiff). Now I get my pet fix looking after my friends and family's pets when they go away. I've looked after many of my friends' cats as well as my family's dogs - a Staffy, Bull Mastiff and a Groodle.

I enjoy keeping active by walking, running, and going to the gym. I also love catching up with friends, reading, and a good tv series/ movie.

I'm reliable, responsible and would love to take care of your pet. I'm available weekdays before 8am and after 5:30pm and all day on weekends. I offer:

- Dog walking: 50 minutes walk. I have a car and am located close to Redhead Beach, Dixon Park Reserve, Acacia Avenue Reserve, and Speers Point. Or I can go to a park near you.

- Home visits: I'll stay for 30 minutes per visit, feeding your pet and playing/ spending time with them. During these visits I'm also happy to collect mail and water any plants.

- House sitting: for up to 5 days. Longer stays are on a case by case basis.
