Hello! Thanks for checking this out! The following is a bit about me and a bit about what I do....
I came to Madpaws as a pet owner first! It was such a wonderful discovery for me to find people I could trust to care for my pets. It gave me calm to leave them in the comfort and security of their home and their things, and ‘hear’ from them via technology! Finally we could have a break without worry and no awkwardness from having to ask family or friends.
I have worked for many years as an early childhood educator with families with young children so looking after precious beings is a natural instinct for me. I have also owned pets all my life (I have experience with cats, dogs, birds, fish, turtles, insects and rabbits). I have decided to switch my attention to the ‘fur babies’, as I have been doing this on the side for family, friends and neighbors so often anyway!
I currently live in Kogarah and provide pet visiting and dog walking in and around my local suburbs. I am available during the day, and over public holidays and school holidays.
PET VISITING: This is a visit of approximately half an hour to forty five minutes. During this time I feed, clean up, provide company and a play. I can also water plants, put out the bins, open and close blinds etc. if you require it.
If you would like two visits to your pet in the day, (a.m. and p.m.) please let me know, this is usually $10 to $15 extra, depending on distance, I will edit the booking to the revised price to reflect this.
A pet visit to a dog also includes a short walk of up to 1/2 an hour. I can provide enrichment toys/treats you provide, and company in the form of mental stimulation activities and a toilet break if in apartment living.
DOG WALKING: If you require a dog walk only, this would be approximately half hour to 50mins depending on a dog's size and needs, the weather etc. This service is a one-on-one service for your dog, I don't meet up with other dog walkers or drive your dog to venues, but use your local streets and amenities where possible, with a focus on your dog recieving lots of walking/ outdoor time.
As mentioned local is preferred, as I need to cover travel costs myself. I love to provide photos and communication for every pet visit and put every effort into ensuring your pet has a calm and pleasant interaction with me!
Please contact me for suitability! I am happy to answer any questions you have, and to discuss your individual needs. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!!...
