About Lyndal
Please note I am not yet living in Scarborough so a meet and greet pre-booking may take a bit of time to organise.
I love all (most!) animals, always have, always will. Right from when I was a little girl and apparently used to pick up cane toads out of our pool and take them inside to show them to my parents! (Must say, not fond of cane toads now..)
I am a yoga teacher who works weekday mornings and evenings and I have time available during the early morning and the middle of the weekday plus weekends for local animal visits, walks and cuddles. I am a pescatarian. I love being close to animals and they bring me a lot of joy so, hopefully it is a win for me and a win for your pet.
Please note that I only do visits for indoor cats and dogs that have fully fenced yards and are not known to escape.
I was a wildlife carer for 6 years, taking care of orphaned or injured possums until they were ready for soft release into the wild. We have also fostered rescue dogs while they waited for their forever home.
I travel very locally. I will be living in Scarborough by the start of December so I service Scarborough, Newport, Kippa Ring and Redcliffe. I may travel to other local areas such as Woody Point, Clontarf and Margate, depending on the address (how far away it is). I only visit places that have easy street parking or on site parking.
I do cat cuddles, pats and games while making sure they are safe and fed. Some cats prefer that I merely make sure they are fed, watered and checked on. I am happy to obey their instructions if they tell me clearly to get out of their home 😁.
I walk dogs, keep them company, play games and make sure they are ok.
I keep you updated with photos and updates, depending on what your preferences are.
I can put medication in your pet's food if you need me to. I do not do pet medication that requires injections or putting tablets/capsules down their throat. I can collect mail, water plants or put the bin out.
I realise all pet owners will have individual requirements and I shall only agree to jobs that I know I can fulfil to the highest standard.
My husband and I have house/pet sat on another website. We have done 6 sits and have 5 star reviews, living in home and caring for beloved pets. I can show screen shots if needed. The sits we have done around Australia and overseas have been for dogs, cats and goldfish.
I also understand the importance of making sure your home is secure when I leave. We have our own home and I understand how hard most of us work for our home and possessions and that we need to trust that any visitors will respect that.
We have our own 14 year old dog at home. HoneyBea is one of the great joys of my life and I completely understand the importance of our pets and how we need to know they are safe, sound and loved while we are away. I will do my utmost to care for your pet/s and let you know they are safe and well.
