About Mignon

A bit of background on me: After driving my parents crazy by constantly showing up at home with a new animal in need of a loving home, I decided to make the move from South Africa to Adelaide to pursue my passion for animal care in 2019. I have since earned a Bachelor of Science in Animal Behaviour and a Certificate III in Dog Behaviour, Psychology and Training. I am also a dog trainer for a local business.

I've had many different types of pets over my 26 years, and am well versed in handling and caring for all dogs, cats, birds, rodents and reptiles (even the biiig snakes).  

Though I am new to Mad Paws, I am certainly not new to the world of pet sitting. I have gained valuable experience working as a pet sitter and doggy daycare attendant for a local business. 

Unfortunately, I currently reside in a small apartment, which means I can't have pets of my own or provide boarding services. Pet sitting allows me to provide the innate love and care I've always had for animals to other people's pets, while also helping owners in need of a reliable and experienced sitter.

 In addition, in case of an emergency or necessary medical treatment I am also able to provide:  Pet first aid, including CPR , transport to a veterinarian  and safe administration of most pet medications, including injections .

I'm happy to discuss any special requirements or requests that you may have, and will always try my best to cater to these. I'm flexible with my time and am usually available at short notice. 

My goal is to build trusted and ongoing relationships with all my clients – both human and furry!...
