Thank you for considering me as a pet sitter for your lovely pets! I am a passionate animal lover with two cats of my own and I would love to have the opportunity to get to know even more pets here in Victoria. As a pet owner I know how important it is to find someone you trust to take care of your fur babies while you are away so as a pet sitter I always promise detailed communication, reliable service, and a caring and loving environment for you pets. 

Please note that I am a teacher and so during the school year my ability is limited to weekends.

At this time I am only able to pet sit at your own home as my older cat Indie does find new introductions to be quite stressful. However I am more than happy to travel to your home to spend some quality time with your pet while you are away or take your dogs for additional walks.

Home visits are half an hour long and involve feeding, playing and generally spending time with your pet as well as outside time in your yard for a dog and litter box clean for a cat. I am also comfortable with small animals (rodents, birds, fish etc.) as I currently have fish myself and have had pet rats in the past. As part of a home visit I am happy to water a few plants and send photos of each pet along with a short update of how they are doing. Dog walks are also half an hour however we can absolutely book longer sessions.

As mentioned above I do have cats currently: Indie is 13 and is a grumpy but very loving kitty, Milo is a sweet 2 year old youngster with lots of energy. I have experience with small animals and grew up in a household with many dogs and cats. I have some dog training experience and would be happy to continue working on specific training skills with your dog while you are away or while we are out on a walk. 

I always do a meet and greet prior to committing to a booking just to make sure that your pets and I are a good fit. While I do take some bookings further from my home, I do prioritize bookings I can walk/transit to. However, I do have a car available for emergency purposes and my partner would be on call to bring the car to me should your pet need a vet visit.
