Hi I'm Shenali! I live in Ormond, Melbourne. I grew up with my 9-year old Labrador, Buddy, my first dog, who taught me unconditional love and patience in a way no human ever could - he's truly made me a better person, and my love for animals has only grown since then. With 9 years of experience loving and caring for Buddy, as well as other dogs, I've also had the opportunity to look after cats overnight for a few days at a time. I'm currently doing my Master's in hybrid format, which gives me the time and flexibility to spend quality time with your pets - whether that's going for walks (I'm home most of the time so am able to take them as often as needed), playing, cuddles or simply keeping them company. I'm happy to follow your pet's usual routines including preferred walk lengths**, feeding times and any other habits that keep them comfortable and happy. I take in one pet at a time so I can assure you your furry little companion will be cared for with the same love and attention I would give my own. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your little one with someone new, so I’ll make sure to send you regular photos and updates throughout the day to keep you reassured. I live with my partner in a cosy apartment (1st floor) in a quiet, pet friendly neighbourhood. There's plenty of grassy areas and walking paths outside, which I'm sure your baby would love! **for daycare and boarding: I will provide regular toilet breaks and short walks as needed throughout the day. However, kindly note that any walk exceeding 30 mins will incur an additional fee.
