Hi! My name is Alex and I am a stay at home mum of two. My husband and I have always been animal lovers and want to instil this in our children too. We've been pet sitting for a couple of years now and there is always a cheer when our fur friends come to stay.
Dogs and cats are my preference as this is what I am experienced in looking after. Apart from taking my kids to school and/or activities, I am home most of the time so your fur baby will be around people for the majority of the day. I am happy to have them indoors as long as they are toilet trained and I have a pet door in my laundry. I have a large, fenced back yard and am a short walk away from the nature strip leading to Mt Taylor which is a lovely spot for walking the dogs. My cat is free to come and go (no cat runs), but I lock him in at night to avoid cat fights. My kids are both gentle with animals but as they are young I can only manage cats and small and medium sized dogs at this time. Your pet needs to be well socialised and non aggressive to kids, cats and dogs.
I would prefer you bring your own bedding and toys so that your pet has something familiar, as well as collars, leads and regular pet food.
I encourage that we arrange to meet prior to pets being dropped off so we can ensure both parties are comfortable....
