Maisie

I love all animals, but have a special connection with cats and dogs over the years from having my own pets and living with or taking care of friends' pets. I've had cats my whole life so I understand them well; their needs, sensitivities, reading body language, and different moods.

I've lived with larger, older dogs, feeding them and taking them for walks regularly. I've also been close with a friend's chihuahua who had behavioural issues, and observed the best methods for correcting challenging behaviour around other animals.

I live close to the Cooks River in Marrickville, where there is a big field that's an off-leash area for them to run around in. The streets around my house are also not too busy with traffic and nice for walking. I can walk dogs for up to an hour if they require it.

With home visits, you can let me know what your preferences are in terms of time spent with your pet. I'm also happy to water plants while I'm there. I'm happy to administer pets' medication and do basic grooming.

During the week I'm mostly available mornings and evenings, with some weekdays and weekend having middle of the day availability.

It would be a joy for me to get to know your pet/s and help then live their best life, with food, attention, affection and exercise. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask, and let me know any specific requirements your pet might have - I'm happy to be flexible and try new things.
