I am PAWSITIVELY in love with animals! Fur real, Sorry the puns were too good to pass up! But dog walking and dog sitting was actually my first job at the age of 13, self employed and operated. Unfortunately all my references would be in the United States. But with over 10 years of experience and growing up with animals, I know how stressful it can be finding someone who will love your furry kiddos and take care of them as well as you do. I am an active animal enthusiast, I don't discriminate, I have taken care of birds,cats, dogs, and fish. I know how to handle animal behavior and deal with tense situations if your animals get feisty or proactive. I grew up in a house with 4 dogs, 2 cats, 1 fish, and 6 chickens. I am ready for any challenge, but most off all I am just ready to connect with animals. Since moving to Australia I am missing this in my life.
I will be as active as you like me to be with your pets. But in my own world I would walk or play with my dogs for hours, going on hikes, river swims, or beach trips. Whatever you are comfortable with me doing them though. I am just as happy taking them on field trips to the beach of walking them on a lead around town. I live right next to the state park in Bellingen with heaps of trails around that me your pet could explore together.
My rates are as follows:
I can either stay at your house overnight, or visit a few times a day for feeding and and attention this would include 2 hours of exercise with walking or a field trip somewhere (your preference) for $30 per day plus $10 for an additional dog
Just walking for 2 hours and feeding: $20 a day plus $10 an additional dog
If you just want me to check on your animals without exercise: $15 day flat fee no matter how many animals
