Dani

Hi!

My name is Dani and I'm an experienced house/ pet sitter living in the western suburbs of Melbourne.

I'd love to be the one to care for your home, pets and even plants (if applicable) while you're away, so you can have a stress-free holiday.

I've grown up always having family pets, so I'm extremely comfortable around animals and understand that to many of us, they are a part of the family. I'm especially fond of dogs and cats, but love all animals and am open to caring for any beloved pet.

In my professional life, I look after and educate young children, so I guess I'm naturally drawn to caring roles. Though I've certainly found animal sitting much calmer!

As such, I'm very comfortable cleaning up any messes or toileting accidents

I'm introverted and prefer to spent the night on the couch (potentially cuddled up with a furry friend) rather than go out.

I'm tidy and I don't smoke or take drugs, and only drink on rare social occasions such as when out for dinner.

I've house/pet sat for extended family, caring for both dogs and cats (and houseplants too!), including fosters who required extra attention.

I'm comfortable giving oral medications and daily tasks like walks or cleaning out litter boxes.

I know it can be really hard to leave your pets behind when travelling, so I'll do my best to care for them as you would, and make them feel loved with belly scratches, head pats and the occasional treat (if allowed!) until their family returns home to them again.

In the meantime, as your house and pet sitter I promise to keep everything neat and tidy, collect the mail, water the plants, and keep your beloved pet fed, healthy and happy with plenty of walks and belly rubs. And if desired, I'm happy to send plenty of photos or videos your way if you're especially missing your pet!

If you are interested in discussing house/pet-sitting, please message me. Below I've listed some questions for you to consider when sending in a sitter request.
