For me, pets have always been a part of the family and growing up on a farm in country Victoria I have been surrounded by and loved animals since I can remember. I grew up with many pets (dogs, cats, fish, budgies and alpacas to name a few) and my love of animals has never diminished. Working as an operations professional while living in London, New York over the past ten years had prevented me from having my own pet but I’ve always looked after people’s pets when I’ve been in those locations. Through my extensive experience with other people’s pets, I’ve learnt that no two pets are alike. This is knowledge that only comes with experience.
Now I’m back living in Wangaratta I have my own dog, a Jack Russell, Hank (whom I adore more than anything), and work casually in hospitality. I have plenty of free time to indulge my love of animals and providing your pet with the best of care.
I love looking after cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, birds and other small pets as well as dogs, from of all sizes and breeds (from temperamental Great Danes to timid Dachshunds). I’m available for something as simple as a dog walk, day sitting or overnight sitting and your pet’s important appointments such vet visits, play dates, trips to the groomer and training. Whatever you want for your pet, I will help you achieve.
I am punctual, reliable, have a professional demeanour but most of all super passionate about animals and their happiness. With experience pet sitting across three continents I am aware of the importance of being responsive to texts and calls in a timely manner.
As I consider pets to be family members, I am acutely aware that pets have different personalities and individual needs. With 30+ years’ experience owning and looking after pets, your loved one(s) will be in very safe, attentive and capable hands while under my care.
I’m also a qualified lawyer so am very reliable and very particular when it comes to attention to detail - both in my work and in looking after pets. Feel free to check out my LinkedIn profile if you'd like to learn a bit more about me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesashmead/...
