About me

Hi! I am a mature, reliable and experienced pet sitter and walker, with a passion for all types of animals. I have enjoyed house sitting and caring for all manner of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, chickens, fish and guinea pigs for over a decade. 

I am a current volunteer at the RSPCA exercising the beautiful dogs at the shelter, as well as fostering a variety of animals for them while they get ready for adoption. I have a genuine love for all animals, and enjoy spending as much time with them as possible - which is why I like helping people look after their pets and will treat them as if they're my own :)  

My own pets are a horse called Sparky that I've had for 10 years, and my dog who recently passed away after spending 17 years with me. My most recent fosters were a pair of very cute baby rabbits that have since been adopted into loving homes. 

My main job is in IT as a software designer, which I do while working from home. I also work part time on a rural property as a horse riding trail guide which includes caring for all the animals on the property and ensuring our guests stay happy and safe while interacting with our animals. 

My favourite way to end the day is relaxing with a snuggle from a special furry friend!

My services

I am available to provide house sitting services in your home. I understand that every animal is unique, and more than happy to be flexible around your pet's needs.

 House sitting services include feeding, walking, grooming, play time, medication (if needed) and daily owner updates. I am also more than happy to water your plants and take the bins out etc while you are away. I work full time, but my schedule is flexible and fully remote.
