I have had many pets during my lifetime, all of whom I remember and have loved and cared for very much.

My husband and I live in our own home with family on a quarter-acre block in the leafy suburb of Montrose, just at the foot of Mount Dandenong - with our dog, Jasper (Maltese/Shitzu cross) and cats Sweet Pea, Kiki and Skittles (spayed tabbies). Our grandchildren love and play with our pets as much as we do. I can honestly say that your pet will be in good hands with me.

My preference is for home visits and house sitting. I am also happy to walk your pet as required. I know, and believe in my heart, that all pets respond well to love and gentle, patient handling with the right carer.

All my pets are vaccinated and in a healthy condition, with regular vet checks each year. So there's no need to worry about your pet's health while in my care. Except for the occasional outing to the shops or appointment I am at home every day and evening, and can fit in with your preferred routine for your pet. My own pets are fussy and spoilt, but I do love them and get much love in return. When I'm looking after your pets, they are my family.

My skills with dogs and cats have developed over many years. As an animal lover, I have always ensured they have been in a healthy condition, with the help of my local veterinarian whom I have known for a long time. As I am semi-retired, I am free to choose what I really love to do and this is to give a lot of love and attention to my pets.

At night, Jasper sleeps at the side of my bed and my cats sleep on the bed with me. I'm very fond of all pets and can give your pet as much time as they need to comfort them if they are anxious in any way.

Trust me with your pet and you won't regret it. Thank you.
