My name is Elin. I am a complete dog-lover!
I was a full time foster carer for a seeing-eye dog (puppy) through Vision Australia in 2019, which completely changed my life. I cared for Spicer (golden retriever) from the age of 8 weeks until she went into puppy-university at about 14 months. She graduated to become a full-blown seeing-eye dog and now works with a blind person in WA!! I am so proud of both myself and her, for all the hard work that was put into that, but you can imagine that I miss her everyday. Since then I have been fortunate enough to been able to dog sit her siblings that didn't make it through the program whenever I can, and also other friends' dogs. Now I am looking to supplement my income (part-time desk job WFH) and what better way than to offer my love and care for your beloved pet.
I have a genuine love for all the animals, including: dogs, cats, birds, Guinea pigs, bunnies and pigs (!) but unfortunately snakes, rats or spiders don’t rock our boats.
I come with great references, police checks, WWCC and rest assured your beloved pet would always be kept indoors (unless out walking/running with me of course!). I have experience with some training (nice walks on lead, toilet training, recall) from my time caring for Spicer. I am all for encouraging positive calm/happy/gentle behaviours from all pets, and would use a loving but firm tone in communicating my expectations of such.
Our unit is small and cosy on a quiet street and close to parks and nice walks. There is a fully fenced courtyard out the back.
Meet and greets very welcomed!...
