As someone who has always grown up with a wide selection of animals running around, I started my love of all animals from a very young age. Naturally I am someone who is very caring, through this understanding of myself, I chose to pursue a career as a support worker. Very flexible with hours, I thought adding a pet sitter/walker would be a great fit.
As someone with a high amount of empathy and compassion for the people and animals around me, pet sitting is something I felt would be very fitting for my lifestyle.
I started pet sitting/walking when I was in high school (7 years ago) and have since grown a private customer basis from word of mouth through family and friends. The pets I have looked after range from little jack Russell's to maremma sheep dogs, and many in between. A few cats here and there too but we all know that cats are a little more de compared to dogs! Still making sure food and love were provided always!
Currently my living situation is a ground floor flat in Fitzroy Nth. It doesn't have a backyard area but I am situated amongst many gardens and dog parks for walks and outside time. If i were to pet sit at my home, the animals would be able to make themselves comfortable wherever they like, couch or my bed, I really don't mind, I'm very used to dogs sleeping on my bed too....
