Hi, my name is Jake and i’m based in Thornbury, Melbourne! I am a huge animal lover spending the first 20 years of my life surrounded by 2 dogs, 4 cats and even some chickens.
To me, dogs and cats are incredible companions and I love being around them. Pre global pandemic I used to travel a fair bit for work and leisure and therefore I have opted to not have a full time dog or cat of my own but I miss having them around.
I now work full time at home and can therefore offer a range of services including hosting at my place for a few days to a few weeks, dog/cat daycare and dog walking. I live in a building full of dogs and have a couple of great dog parks 2 minutes from my house, with some great facilities for the dogs to enjoy. Plus I am very close to Merri Creek for longer walks.
I am also happy to look after your pet at your place including walking them and feeding them. If caring for your pet at yours, I can both do overnight stays or once or twice daily visits etc as required as I generally work from home.
I live in an apartment with no housemates and can cater for large or small dogs as I have a large secure balcony for outdoor space. I work from home and there will be plenty of walks on the cards, I normally walk the dogs for 30-45 minutes in the morning and again in the evening with a mini toilet break in the middle of the day. I do go out and the dog will be left alone at times but am not normally away for 3-4 hours at a time.
My latest pet sits have included a shih tzu dog called Hugo, a golden retriever called Harry, a staff called Tommy and a cat called Bernie!
All animals will be treated as members of the family and are welcome to sleep in the beds their owners provide or on the my couch.
Cant wait to look after your member of the family!...
