I am passionate about pets and animal welfare and am keen on offering primarily dog sitting, but also cat and bird sitting. Currently I have time available to do so and hope to find some buddies to care for. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for friends, acquaintances and volunteering over the years. I am familiar with providing pets with food/water, administering medication, cleaning out litter boxes, cages, exercising pets as needed, and taking dogs out for regular walks. My own dogs (Dachshund and Australian Shepherd) I had from puppy age onwards, hence I am experienced through the dog’s life cycle. Especially with my Australian Shepherd I engaged in dog training and dog activities (obedience, man trailing, agility).
Other than dogs, I have had cats and budgerigars as pets. In the past, I volunteered as a dog walker at a dog shelter and for the recent 3 years I have been a volunteer at the RSCPA Wacol/Qld, working at the Wildlife Hospital and in the Adoption Team which provides me with lots of insight into animal care in general.
Occasionally, I am still working part-time in the health sector, but would love to dedicate more time to pet care, especially dog sitting and share my own experience as pet owner. Your animals will be well cared for with me as I treat them like I would treat my own. It would be great to meet you and your pet(s)!
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Petra’s care and thoughtfulness with my 2 dogs was much appreciated. She’s very thorough and reliable. Thanks Petra
We've booked Petra numerous times now, although this time was a little different as we were travelling internationally and the stay was a little longer.
All I can say is do not bother looking anywhere else for a pet sitter!! Petra is by far the best dog sitter we've ever experienced. It is obvious she really cares about animals and she has an in depth understanding of dog behaviours and what they need (especially if you have a high energy border collie like us!). I cannot recommend Petra highly enough, she took so much care with Rubi, kept her entertained, exercised and engaged and was excellent with communication. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
