I'm a 43yo who lives in West Melbourne and works in the city in Aboriginal Affairs. I now share my home with a 12yr old Papillon who is living his best retirement life. Prior to Lil' Dickie the papillon, I'd been the domestic servant to a delightful and neurotic Bengal cat for 18 years.

I've spent the last 6 years volunteering for senior dog rescue and have been the palliative foster carer to 3 incredibly gorgeous senior Pomeranians. I've also done a stint as a foster carer and trainer for Assistance Dogs Australia.

I grew up up with 5 cats! One for each of my siblings and me and there was always a few goldfish around too :)

I know how important it is to have someone you trust to look after your furry family member/s and make sure their routine isn't overly effected while you take a well earned break.

I'm experienced and confident in administering medications and any additional needs of senior animals especially.

Each day I will make sure your furry friend is happy and content, fed, has fresh water, a clean litter tray and will send you a photo. Also happy to sprinkle some water on your plant babies while I'm at it.

• I can walk your dog, big or small, for a minimum of 30 minutes.
• At least 1 x photo update per day or house visit
• I keep in contact with owners regarding any changes with the pet and if required bringing the pets to the vet when agreed to by the owner or in an emergency
• Feeding the pet as required
• Access to fresh water
• Dog is able to go to the toilet regularly
• Basic medication (non-injectables)
• Pets are kept in a hygienic condition - any messes of the pet are cleaned up, and any signs of illness or injury are reported to the owners
