Highlights
Pet care experience
10+ years of loving dog care
I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have over 10 years of experience caring for them. My family had a Cocker Spaniel, Bobby, for 10 years, and we currently have Maisie, our 13-year-old Golden Labrador. I also regularly spend time with my partner’s 6-year-old Toy Poodle, Bertie. Since I was 12, I’ve regularly walked and house-sat dogs for family friends, looking after them in their own homes and treating them as my own. More recently, while living in Melbourne for three years, I used Mad Paws to care for dogs for multiple owners, giving me experience looking after dogs with different personalities, routines and needs. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic walks and playtime to caring for older dogs who need a little more patience and attention. Above all, I’m reliable, attentive and genuinely love having dogs around.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
The safety and wellbeing of every pet in my care is my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, likes and dislikes before looking after them, and I always follow their owner’s instructions closely. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m respectful of the property and aim to keep everything clean, secure and as the owner left it. I’m particularly conscious of making sure doors, gates and windows are secure and that pets are never put in an unsafe situation. I want owners to feel completely comfortable and confident while they’re away, so I love to provide regular updates and photos and keep them informed of how their pet is doing.
Ratings and reviews
George looked after our Border Collie Codi for one day a week for 6 months. He was reliable, in tune to Codi's energy and emotions, and always made things fun. Having had dogs growing up, he is a natural. His communication skills are great, he was always sending pictures and videos which put us at complete ease that Codi was having a great time. I would highly recommend George as a pet sitter, both day and overnight.
George has looked after my two cats on numerous occasions and has quickly become a fan favourite of theirs. He is kind and cautious and we feel safe knowing our beloved furry animals are left in his care during our holidays. We have no hesitation in recommending George to any dog or cat owner in the future.
George is a very reliable , efficient and trustworthy dog carer and I always have complete peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands and would highly recommend him. . He has always shown love towards our family dog Maisie.
George, has been great with my dog Luna ! he’s looked after her multiple times now and she’s always very exited to see him. He’s great at keeping me updated with how she’s doing so I’m confident she’s had a safe and happy time.

Schedule
I’m currently actively looking for my next full-time role, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, house sitting and longer stays throughout the week. I tend to be more occupied on weekends, but am always open to discusisng my avaibility and making your pet fit into my schedule on weekends! I’m also able to be flexible around individual pets’ routines and am happy to work around feeding times, walks, medication or any other specific needs. I’m looking for pet care to be a regular part of my routine while I’m job hunting, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they deserve.
