Hello! I’m Paris,

I am an experienced pet caregiver/lover, that can provide a safe, fun and fulfilling space for your furbaby. I would love the chance to meet the specific needs of your pet when you are unable to, and give the same amount of love and care as I would my own.
As a lifelong, avid animal lover, I have a genuine love and passion for providing honest, reliable and authentic pet care. 

Having a career as a veterinary nurse for a number of years and many complex experiences prior working with animals, I can ensure your pet will be in good hands. It’s my aim to always provide high quality care, to also ensure your pet has a comfortable, safe and positive experience. 

About me: 

In recent months I have been vet nursing and dog handling - practicing positive reinforcement training techniques, assessing canine behaviour and was lucky enough to work closely with dogs of all sizes & personalities. 
I now dedicate most of my time to enriching the lives of many pets! I have completed a certification in Dog Psychology, Behaviour & Training so also offer walk & trains.

Located in Richmond, I live with my partner who is also a huge animal lover & enjoys helping me out occasionally with the pets in my care too. We have a rescue kelpie cross called Bronson- he’s high energy but a big cuddly bear.

Dog walking small-large breeds (Monday - Friday & Saturdays by request)  *taking weekly regular interest only* 
Please note: I only take on dogs if I have access to their home keys/lockbox, I don’t do handovers with owners due to my unpredictable schedule. 

A fun, stimulating walk for your Pup! At a local park/bush/beach trail of your preference or leave it up to me to take your furbaby on an adventure! It can be up to 45 minutes walk - suited to your pets activity level. 
- Companion walks with my kelpie are available for weekly regulars
I drive an air conditioned roomy Jeep, am able to pick up/drop off & can comfortably fit x3 medium sized dogs for transport (really depends on breed)
- Obedience commands are positively reinforced 
- Treats, doggy bags & toys included
- updates & photos


Drop-in pet visits for dogs, cats & rabbits (week days/weekends) *for when pet parents are out*

Included- Up to 45 minutes per visit morning & afternoon (longer by request & price adjustment)- feeding, administering medication, providing environmental enrichment play, grooming/brushing, giving love & attention/cuddles/pats, walking/allowing dogs outside to toilet, cleaning/changing litter trays, cleaning environment, topping up water bowls etc 
-updates & photos

Puppy/Senior visits- 
It's recommended puppies between 7-14 weeks have a home visit if you're unavailable during the day as they require a feed, cuddles & a toilet break. Senior/special needs pets require similar care, however may need additional medication/monitoring (I offer this service - please message me directly to enquire for further information) 

Small dog hosting- 

under 15kg -Your pooch will be sharing with our nervous rescue kelpie at our place in Richmond - he does like other dogs, only can be a bit territorial of his space at home with dogs he doesn’t know well- Hence why we find for new dogs, if we do some trial days beforehand (in the weeks/month before) that both the dogs are more settled after spending some time together. If your dog is reactive, it may not be the best choice, as Bronson is nervous himself.

As I’m a certified dog trainer, I am confident managing the needs of all different breeds so they will always be treated like one of our family (Bron eventually accepts them in his space🐶)
- Trial days are $40 (pick up & drop off included) - some dogs may need more than others depending 
- Your dog must have their own crate & bed + food
Included in your dogs stay:
- Your dog will have access to the whole house - including outside in our grassy medium sized yard
- We section our house so the dogs can have their own space when needed
- Regular toilet breaks, playtime, rest time & walks with constant supervision/monitoring - if I am out during the day (which is only 3 hours at a time), my partner David is home as he works a flexible wfh job
- If the dogs are ever left alone for a brief period, they will be separated in different sections of the house or in their crates (never left together)
- Morning, Midday & afternoon walks (if desired) enrichment sessions & lots of cuddles, kisses & treats 
- Pick up/drop off included
- Weekend stays, day stays or long stays are welcome - trials are required with our kelpie (if you’re new) beforehand so both dogs are adjusted around each other 

Dog training-

I specialise in reactive dog training & anxious dog care. My walk & trains are ideal for reactive dogs, however I can do 1-1 home consults if preferred. 
I can also assist with confidence building for anxious dogs, solid recall, loose lead walking, puppy socialisation/training, human reactive training & boundary training. 

**Complimentary meet & greet for all services**

Note: This is not just a side hustle for me- I have a genuine interest & passion in animal care + have years of experience in high pressure vet clinic environments & years of experience handling reactive dogs & cats

The suburbs I service are: 

Richmond, Burnley, Abbotsford, South Yarra, Prahran, Windsor, Fitzroy, East Melbourne, Armadale, Collingwood, Hawthorn, Kew, Toorak, Carlton, Clifton Hill
- within 5km of Richmond only 
(Feel free to send a request if your area is not on the list, I might still be able to service you)
