My name is Jill, and I live in the beautiful lower Blue Mountains. I am a long time animal lover, and over the course of my lifetime have owned a horse, numerous cats and dogs, hens and ducks and aviary birds. Just now, I own a gentle whippet who is adorable. I am missing my russian blue cat who passed away recently after 19 years of a life well lived. I work part-time and also am a 'hands on' grandparent so life is rich and full. But never too full for some time caring for cats and other small pets. Cats are my favourite animal despite also adoring my whippet, who I have to say is a little like a cat with her mysterious moods and penchant for affection and snuggles. My work ethic could be summed up with the words reliable and conscentious. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. Over the years, I have gained experience in caring for pets that need medication and special attention. I approach pets who do not know me with gentleness and endeavour to build up trust and a connection so your pet feels safe. I am available to mind pets in the lower blue mountains - so from Glenbrook up to Springwood. I look forward to meeting you and your much loved pets. I am available to mind your cat/s in your own home while you are away. I can do visits once or twice a day- whatever will work for you and your pet. Home visits are half an hour in length and include time spent with your pet- grooming, giving medication if required and of course petting and affection for those cats who love this. I do not take pets into my own home as my whippet would find this unsettling.
