Experienced pet carer with over 10 years experience with dogs and cats. I’m currently a foster carer for a local cat shelter, I have been a cat and dog parent in the past and now focusing on pet sitting, and dog walking. I offer daytime walks, daycare at my home, drop ins, and overnight care as and when needed. Being an at-home parent my hours are fairly flexible on weekdays, and on weekends by request. We currently have one cat of our own living at home, but she is kept separate from any cats or dogs we look after. IMPORTANT For stays in my home: I do have three children at home (a 7yr old, a 11yr old and a 14 yr old) so for any bookings at my home I can only take in pets who are comfortable being around children. I always take care to ensure that pets have space for themselves and that the children treat them respectfully, but I am unable to take in pets to my own home that may be extremely timid or aggressive with children. I am a stay at home Mum, and work part-time at home. So my schedule is fairly flexible, pets are not left on their own unless it’s for short periods. I’m happy to work with clients to accommodate their drop off and pick up times. Dogs usually stay with me and my family in our family room and kitchen which has easy access to our fenced yard. Cats (who sometimes prefer a little more space and quiet) normally stay in our front living room which has a huge window so they can comfortably watch the world go by. I have a pen that can be set up for puppies, but I find it’s best to bring your own familiar items from home to help your pet settle in. I never let a dog outside in our yard without me being present and with small dogs I will often leash them while we use the garden just to be safe.
