I’m a 20-year-old female student from Sri Lanka, currently studying at Deakin University in Burwood. I’ve always had a passion for animals and have been volunteering for as long as I can remember. After graduating from high school, I volunteered with Embark Sri Lanka, a program dedicated to rescuing and rehoming stray dogs, which allowed me to gain valuable experience in animal care. Back home, I have a rescue dog and a rescue cat, both of whom have taught me so much about patience and compassion. My neighborhood in Burwood is quite pet-friendly, with several parks and walking trails nearby that are perfect for dog walks. I enjoy exploring these areas with pets and ensuring they have a safe and enjoyable time outdoors. Availability: - Unavailable:Mondays and Thursdays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Wednesdays from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, Saturdays from 5:00 PM to 12:00 AM - Available: During all other hours of the week, I’m happy to care for your pets and offer the services you need. Services I Offer: - Dog Walking:I’ll take your dog for a walk in nearby pet-friendly parks or safe outdoor areas close to your home. I ensure a secure environment for your pet, making sure they have a fun and safe walk. - House Sitting:I offer house sitting services and can stay at your home during times when I'm available. I’ll take all necessary security measures, including locking doors and checking that appliances like gas stoves are off. - Pet Care:I’m experienced in administering medication to pets and have worked with rescue animals who have special needs. I can also provide basic training and teach simple commands, though I’m not a professional trainer. - Home Visits: During home visits, I will spend sufficient time with your pet, attending to their needs, and I’m happy to help with additional tasks like watering plants and bringing in the mail. As a pet sitter, I’m motivated by my love for animals and my desire to provide them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident and comfortable while they’re away, and I’m committed to giving your pets the love and care they deserve. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
