I've been an animal lover since I was a little girl. I grew up with German Shorthaired Pointers and have always had a mad love for dogs and horses. My fur-babe Hendrixx, is a Rhodesian Ridgeback. He is our second Ridgeback, we absolutely love the breed. While I have a soft spot for big dogs, I love the little ones too. I am certified Canine Hydrotherapist and will eventually start by own business so I can help with rehabilitation after surgery, arthritis, mobility and weight loss. I have been a pet guardian on and off over the past 2 years offering services on a few of the other pet sitting platforms. I have a handful of repeat clients but want to expand and share my love for dogs through this platform.

I commit to ensuring I am the best Pet Guardian you could ask for. Your family member will be well-looked after and safe while you are away. I can adjust my care routine based upon your pup's needs. I am a firm believer in fresh air and exercise, so if that is what is needed, you will find us at the dog park or on a walk. If your pup needs downtime and relaxation, we can make time for cat-naps.

I live in a 2 story townhome and the dogs stay inside. We have a space where the dogs roam free in the house and in the courtyard. I'm outside every 2-4 hours for bathroom breaks. The dogs sleep inside at the foot of our bed. See indoor and outdoor photos of my space.

I am an excellent communicator and will send photo & video updates during our time together. Communication is key for me, so please feel welcome to ask questions and state your fur-babe's preferences.

I have experience in training my own puppies and can help reinforce good behaviour, recall etc.... Just let me know your commands and we will be on the same page.

I live in Pyrmont, which caters to dogs. I am a big part of the canine community here and know great routes for walks and am a frequenter to all of the dog parks. I also love the dog beach at Rose Bay and the foreshore of Blackwattle Bay. I'm not a stranger to the off-leash area at Centennial Park and I'm a fan of Sydney Park because it is great for exercising our canines.

I have an SUV and can offer pick-ups and drop-offs. I can administer oral medication. I have the results of a police background check I'm happy to share with you.

I would love to meet you, explore your fur babe's needs and ensure we are a good match. A meet and greet before an overnight stay and/or dog day care will be necessary to ensure your pup gets along with my boy, Hendrixx. I can only accommodate house-trained dogs as we have carpet. I require all vaccinations be up to date along with flee, tick & worming treatments so I can keep our home safe for our dog and for future guests.

Services: servicing areas within a 5K radius to Pyrmont.

Overnight boarding: 24 hours from drop off to pick up. Includes 2 walks a day with a mid-day bathroom break. Dogs will not be left alone for more than three hours, only if I have to go out for something. One guest dog at a time.
