I am a 21 year old uni student who absolutely adores all animals great and small!
I also love education which is why I believe pet sitting is the ideal career for me at this time so I have the flexibility to focus on my studies whilst also spending time with animals and getting out for daily walks with dogs.
I have recently moved from Melbourne to Adelaide. I have 3 years experience pet sitting and will be transitioning to pet hosting. I live in a house with a large court yard on the corner of street surrounded by an open grass space with lots of trees. There's a nice pathway through this open space that goes behind some houses. There is also an enclosed dog park about a 20 minute walk from my house. Your dog/s will always be able to get out of the house and have a run around, as well as go for a walk for however long they need.
I really value my physical health and love long walks and exercise. I will take your dogs for at least one 30-45 minute walk a day if they're up for it, can be less if they're older or more if they're younger and have the energy.
I take a lot of pride in my ability to give the best care possible to your furbabies as well as your home, I will respect you, your pets and your place of residence and do all within my power to make your pets feel safe and loved while you are away.
I was volunteering at the lost dogs home as a dog groomer so have about a years experience in grooming and am able to wash your dogs if requested (all sizes and fur types!). This experience also gave me more knowledge on how to properly handle dogs in all sorts of situations including aggressive ones. I will always do my best to protect your pet/s if any danger arises, or if your dog does not interact well with other dogs I know how to handle them on lead.
I feel I'm suited to all types of pets, old and young, I can be fun and playful and entertain a young pet for hours on end, and I can also be very patient with older animals (or just lazy ones). I am able to interact with all different types of pets and give them the attention and affection they desire, I will will always tailor the stay around them and their specific needs.
I love and respect all animals, however we must all have a favourite and mine are cows :). I know what you're thinking, but cows are basically just big dogs! They're so affectionate and adorable, I love them so much. For this reason among others I am vegan...
