I have been pet and house sitting for years because I love pets and I've found it to be a great way to explore new areas of the city. I grew up with cats, big dogs, sheep, cows, chickens, ducks, guinea pigs, fish, ostriches and a Sulfur-crested cockatoo so have a wide range of experience. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes though I have a particular soft spot for toy poodles. I have experience with puppies through to elderly dogs and have also looked after some with behavioural problems. I am happy to follow all rules and training programs you are using with your pets for their stability. I also have a car and love to take dogs to dog parks so would happily continue doing that.

My sweet little dog died nearly 3 years ago and I'm still not over it and my current lifestyle means I can't commit to looking after another fur baby full time hence my desire to pet sit.

I'm looking for in house pet sitting opportunities that are longer term and suitable for my husband and I to do together as we're currently saving a deposit so moving between places regularly.

I have a few references whose numbers I can provide for anyone who requests them. We've mostly been looking after cats and dogs, but also the occasional chicken and fish and are comfortable doing so.
