About Emma
“THE LITTLE PET MINDER”

I can provide 1 or 2 House Visits per day on a same charge (cost) per visit basis, and can include my separate Dog Walking service at a 5% discount.

On Public Holidays, my House Visiting rate is from $30 per House Visit. This does not include the Mad Paws administration/booking fee. No Public Holiday rate for my Dog Walking service.

I currently DO NOT take any bookings within 14 days of an owner travelled overseas. Please be honest if you, the owner, or anyone you have come in contact with/live with is feeling or becomes even mildly unwell at any stage of the booking process. I can work with you to modify your booking to suit your circumstances.

I specialise in caring for small domestic pets, I have a Certificate of Pet Care - VET Assistant, I’m an RSPCA Victoria Animal Ambassador, and carry the RSPCA Pet First Aid Guide at all times. I love all animals and also enjoy helping people. I find animals intriguing, fascinating, funny, smart and loyal. I really miss being around animals as I'm not in a position to have pets at my home. "While you're not home, caring for your pets like they're my own". I cover the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne Victoria including Ringwood, Lilydale (and surrounds) and some of the Mount Dandenong Ranges.

I’ve looked after many different dog and cat breeds, 9 guinea pigs, 5 rabbits, chickens, fish, a turtle, 2 rats, and a bird (cockatiel) so far. I really enjoy this type of work. I previously worked for a Veterinarian who runs her own business called "My Best Friend - Veterinarian End of Life Care". I looked after her 2 young children and her animals: 2 dogs, 1 cat, 2 birds, and a rabbit named Henry. I lost my "cheeky boy" (cat) 10 years ago due to renal failure. His name was Mo-Jo and he was 16 years old. I had him since he was 10 months old and cared for him to the end. I want to help other pet owners with their needs in any way I can, to help their beloved fur babies live healthy and happy long lives.
