New to Pawshake. I am the owner of Beni & Friends Petsitting (we use Pawshake as our booking and admin platform). I have 3 years of experience with Lort Smith Animal Hospital as a foster carer, mainly looking after cats and dogs. I love all animals and have a soft spot for cats. I have a quiet and gentle personality and understand how to read and respond to cat body-language and have experience dealing with health problems, behavioural issues, and applying topical and oral medication. I grew up with a golden retriever, a rabbit and 2 guinea pigs and now I have 2 cats. I have even lived with a sweet cockatiel. I pet-sit part-time, and also work from home full-time as a project manager with flexible hours.

I am based in Essendon, just a hop and skip from the moonee ponds creek trail and nearby parks that are suitable for dog walking. I am also open to using a park near your location if that is preferred. The services I offer incluce 1x or 2x home visits a day of 30-minutes. Visits include the basics like feeding and water, basic grooming, medication (if needed), and play/enrichment. For dogs, I offer dog walking on leash, and prefer small and medium sized breeds. My services do not include nail clipping or injection medication. I am open to discussing anything extra with my clients.

I am very responsible and communicative and I will work with you to make the pet sitting experience a good one for you and your fur baby. I look forward to hearing from you!
