I am an experienced pet sitter, carer, fosterer and recreational dog trainer from Blackburn North, in the east of Melbourne. I have owned dogs, cats and pocket pets since childhood and pets/animals have always been a special interest of mine. I have completed units of the Cert III in Companion Animal Services TAFE Certificate including dog and cat husbandry, dog training, grooming, basic healthcare/First Aid and medication administering and am confident working with anxious dogs or dogs with some more complex behavioural needs. I am open to looking after dogs of all sizes and have experience working with Medium/Large-Giant breeds. I am open to looking after entire/non-desexed pets pending discussion and age.
I work from home sewing Greyhound and other dog collars, coats and other gear, along with doing some freelance Graphic Design and Illustration work - so I have a lot of time to spend with your pup in the times when you may not be able to. I am also a member of my local Dog Obedience Club and often attend obedience classes with either my own dogs or fosters to stay practised and engage in socialisation for my dogs - and myself haha. Dogs are always a great ice breaker :)
I'm fortunate to be home almost all times in the day and my dogs hang out indoors with me, and I have a large grassy backyard with 6ft recently new fences and a shady back porch area, with kennels with blankets and comfy pads for when the dogs are outdoors and want somewhere to curl up and snooze. We have a lot of nice areas surrounding us to walk, and my partner who drives is also often up for a beach trip with the dogs if you'd like your pup to join us!
Looking forward to meeting you and your much-loved pups and providing them a cosy place to stay!...
