Hi, I’m Marsi! I’m a gentle, caring, and reliable animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for cats and small to medium dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I grew up in an animal-loving household, so looking after pets has always been a natural part of my daily life. I’m currently a student with a flexible routine, so I’m generally available for throughout the week around my classes, including daytime and some evening visits. I’m based around Strathfield and can cover nearby areas for visits or walks. I love getting to know each pet’s little quirks, whether they’re playful, shy, cuddly, anxious, independent, or need extra patience. I’ve cared for pets with specific feeding, medication, and treatment routines, as well as cats needing close attention during pregnancy, labour, post-spay recovery, litter changes, or behaviour changes. I also have experience helping kittens born with swimmer syndrome by making splints and doing gentle leg exercises until their legs corrected into a normal position. I’m calm, attentive, and comfortable giving medicines, vitamins, and extra care to pets who need support. 🏡🐾 For visits, I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine closely. This can include feeding, fresh water, litter cleaning, toilet breaks, playtime, cuddles, brushing, basic clean-up, and photo updates. I’m also happy to care for more than one pet in the same household, as long as I’m given clear instructions for each pet’s needs and routine. 🦮🚶🏻‍♀️ For dog walks, I can adjust depending on your dog’s age, energy level, and comfort, whether they need a calm short walk, a slower sniffing walk, or a more active outing. I’m careful with leashes, gates, roads, other dogs, and unfamiliar surroundings, and I’ll always follow your instructions around safety, behaviour, and preferred walking routes. If anything unexpected happens, I’ll stay calm, contact you straight away, and follow your emergency instructions or vet details if needed. For example, if I notice changes in appetite, toileting, behaviour, energy levels, or any signs of discomfort, I’ll let you know promptly and keep a close eye on them. I’ll also send lots of photos (or even do an impromptu photoshoot) and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is getting plenty of attention, care, and playtime.
