About Tu
As an animal lover and owner of two dogs, I understand the importance of caring, loving and treating your pet as part of the family. Because I work from home it means I'm always here to take care of your pets.
I have plenty of experience pet sitting for friends, family and other pet owners in Australia, Germany, The U.S and Canada.
I’ve had a variety of different pets; fish, mice, a duck, a hamster, a budgie, a few lizards, a praying mantis, Christmas beetles, four hens, and two dogs before the two I own at present.
~~~
We've recently relocated to Buderim and our place is located in an area with some lovely walks. The local vet is only a 7 minute drive away.
I primarily take care of your pet/s in your own home as I believe in the long term it's less likely to cause stress and anxiety. They are also able to maintain their daily routines.
I'd be open to having a small dog and/or pocket pets come stay upon request. We would discuss beforehand if your pet would suit given I have 2 highly energetic small dogs.
** Please note: The house has some stairs. Ideally your dog should be able to navigate up and down them to access the backyard. This will ensure they have a comfortable stay with us.
If your dog is friendly and polite I will be more than happy to take care of them at my home. The same applies for rabbits, mice/rats, fish, birds and other small pets.
I also do house visits and overnights. Just send me a message and we can customise what type of pet care is needed.
I will treat your pet like they’re my own!

Reference:
“Tu came to my home in August to care for my home and pets while I was overseas for 4 weeks. I have a Malamute and a Shih Tzu cross and a moggie who thinks he's a dog. Both breeds of dog can be a bit bossy but she let them know who was in charge firmly but with understanding. The cat just did his thing, which at first was unnerving as he is very good at opening sliding doors, but Tu was soon trained to the way of the Bussy.
I was thrilled to have her as she was my first choice and her profile indicated that she truly loves animals and understands them but maintains pack leader status. This was my main concern. She understood and maintained their routine, she walked them gently as one of the dogs has hip dysplasia and she took herself and the dogs for a bath when needed. She is now flea and tick free. The cat has his sleeping spots and spoke when something was required, Tu understood Cat.
At all stages she demonstrated a professional attitude by keeping me in contact with what was happening through messenger and photos. I was delighted to see that they were happy and well cared for.
The house was so tidy when I returned, I even think is was more organized than when I left. She maintained a high standard of cleanliness and tidiness. I was very impressed and when I returned she let me ramble on about all the sites I had seen with her politely listening.
I have no hesitation to highly recommend Tu and will be asking her again to sit for me.
If you wish to make contact with me regarding my recommendation please use the mobile phone number I have included.

"I would gladly have Tu back to sit any time. She was reliable and able to meet up before-hand to discuss the house and pets. She was incredibly respectful of our home and tended well to our dog, Dexter. Though we were only gone for a short time, he got lots of walks, play-time and even a bath. We have always been happy with our sitters, but Tu was hands down one of the best.

Tu has been an exceptional puppy sitter for our very loved Aussie Shepherd x Kelpie pup, Archie. She has had him her since he was 10 week - 16 weeks. Archie loves going to Tu place, love his supervises play time with her two dogs, and always was so tired coming home. Tu sends great updates through the days, and also kept implementing similar routines to help with puppy schedule! High recommend Tu
