About Darcy
Hi there !

My name is Darcy and I'm a 24 year old psychology graduate and I have just recently relocated back to my home city in Melbourne!

I've always had a passion for working with animals and hope to work in ethology (animal psychology essentially!) in the future.

I have my own gorgeous groodalier (golden retriever x cavoodle) who is great with other dogs and cats. I have been pet-sitting and house-sitting formally for the past 2 years whilst living in Canberra. Prior to moving to Canberra, I lived with and looked after a rescue dog (Neo!) and had two regular clients for pet-sitting before getting MadPaws. I've grown up with dogs (cavoodles, begaliers, labradors, greyhounds, bull terriers plus more.), birds (cockatoos), cats, yabby's, fish, chickens & I absolutely love having animals of all kinds, shapes and sizes in my life!

The main reason I thought Mad Paws would work for me is because of my personal/professional experience and its great reputation for animal care - also because of my motivation to work toward including animals in my career journey.

I'm open to helping out in the form of walking, sitting or hosting.

I currently working 8:30am -5pm but am very flexible outside of these hours (including over nights and weekends).

I look forward to getting to know you and your fur baby/ies more!

Warm regards,

Darcy
