hey! i’m caitlin, i’m new to melbourne and i’m looking for wholesome & fulfilling work to lift my spirits whilst i’m here. i’ve moved away from home meaning i’ve left behind my cat and my boyfriends dog at our families homes and can’t deal with being without them! with that being said, we aren’t in a position to commit to a long term furbaby yet, and so that’s where madpaws comes in.
i spent my first month in melbourne subletting an apartment from a guy who was travelling to europe, and the agreement came with a gorgeous tortoise shell female cat! we got along amazingly and created a special unique bond, particularly towards the end of my stay with her. i’ve had my cat since 2017 (mixed breed female), and prior to that i had a second cat (persian/rag doll male). i’ve known and helped care for my boyfriends family dog (golden retriever female) also since 2017, so my experience in caring for animals lies with dogs and cats mainly. i’m a huge animal lover and just enjoy being in the presence of pets and making sure they’re loved and cared for properly.
right now i’m not working, so my hours and ability to pet sit are super flexible! i live in a house with my boyfriend and two others, and they all are out of the space from 9-5 most days. the garden is fully fenced, and the house has no exits that can be accessed by a pet on without my assistance....
