Hi! 👋🏻

I'm a friendly Canadian living in Sydney. I'm a huge animal lover (especially dogs) and it takes everything in my power not to want to pat every single doggo that I see in my neighbourhood. I reside in St Leonard's area. You may have already encountered me wanting to pat your pooch in the 'hood. ☺️

As my tenancy does not allow pets, I offer pet-sitting within inner Sydney, dog walking or do house visits within my immediate area.

I have grown up all my life with dogs and cats, small mammals, and even reptiles. Our first family dog was an old English sheepdog, then we had a bouvier mix, a rambunctious rottweiler, a scotty dog, and many more. We often had multiple indoor/outdoor cats at the same time - it was always a very full and busy house. I know how to handle small and large breeds.

I just moved to Sydney. I work full-time in a not-for-profit. Due to my travel schedule, I'm unable to get furbabies of my own so I'm offering my pet-care services which is also my way to have my "pet-fix" in my spare time. I'm very responsible, respectful, and adore animals.

I believe walks are hugely important for dogs, a tired dog is a happy dog. My walks are a minimum 30 mins at a brisk pace covering 2.5km + for the active dogs, and of course slower for lil pups. If you have a specific route or park you like your pup to visit, let me know. I enjoy grooming and playing with kitties too, as this contributes pawsitively to animal well-being.

I'm very active and have high energy. I go to the gym and do yoga a few times week and I love walking everywhere - I don't even own a car right now as I prefer a pedestrian (or public transport) lifestyle so having a doggie accompany me on a walk in the neighbourhood is a total bonus!

When I was living in Washington DC before living in Sydney, I had an excellent profile of families who trusted me with their pets on Rover.com. Please reach out to schedule a meet & greet as first step.

** Minimum 2 nights for house pet sitting.
