Hi! 

I'm an Aussie from the east coast.

Being a dog lover and very experienced with a wide range of dogs, you can be sure that I'll treat your pets with great care.

Good pet parenting requires attention, patience, gentleness, being in tune with how your pet is feeling and what they need (wouldn't it be amazing if they could just text us to let us know what they want?). 

Pet sitting also requires the above, plus the ability to quickly develop a bond and establish trust - particularly with anxious pets. 

I also bring training skills. I love teaching dogs new tricks and games to keep their minds and bodies active.

On a personal level, I'm sensitive, caring and compassionate. I have my own private practice as a counsellor. I only do telehealth sessions, allowing me to WFH.

I mainly service the northern coastal suburbs.

Overnight pet sitting includes:

• care for 1 - 2 dogs (or 1 dog + up to 2 cats)
• up to 1 hour of walking and/or exercise each day 
• the usual daily necessities including feeding, water refresh, medication (if needed), toileting, poop pick up/litter change, daily brush, company and affection, maybe an occasional ukelele session
• plant watering, bin day, mail collection
