About Kay

I am currently working from home with a lot of spare time to cuddle your pets and give them love and food and exercise when you are away or unavailable to do so. I would love more animals of my own but minding others' is just as good! I'm experienced, with a number of positive client reviews. You can see their reviews on my profile.

I am a current WIRES volunteer, experience with responding to emergencies and caring for rescues. I'm patient and confident with handling a range of creatures with varied temperaments. 

I cared for my dog for almost 16 years, including a year of intense palliative care while she suffered from renal failure. She was a Staffordshire Bull Terrier with a lot of energy and we've been through obedience training together so I'm quite confident with dogs! I regularly host my mother's 4 year old Staffy including walking, training and boarding or Pet-sitting in her home. 

I have 2 indoor cats who are comfortable around dogs and have a really good relationship together. I'm confident with administering medication, trimming claws and brushing teeth (it takes a lot of practice and patience!) 

I'm also slightly obsessed with reptiles - I dream of having a tourtoise however they are not legal in Australia so every other reptile is my substitute.

I am happy to come visit your pets at your house and stay over if you want me to provide them extra company. Boarding opportunities may be arranged, please contact me to discuss. 

Please note:

--Walking rate is $20 for a 30 minute walk. Longer walks will be extra.

--House sits and house visits do NOT include walks (not all pets require walking).

--Please consider what your pets require when making a booking. I have looked after dogs where they have only asked for 1 or 2 house visits and had neighbours tell me these same dogs barked through the night from loneliness. I care deeply for all animals including your pets and want to see them happy and healthy.

Kay did a wonderful job taking care of my girl Luna whilst I was away. She kept me updated with regular photos and took Luna out and about on walks which she loved.
