“Excellent service from Chloe who was very patient, kind and nurturing with our Peggy. A natural at her job and very thorough when considering Peggy’s needs. We would definitely recommend Chloe for your pets needs, she is fantastic”


“Belinda was caring and kind with Walter. She was punctual and she brought water with her to give Walter during his walk as it was a warm day. She also brought a cooling bandana for him. At the end of the walk Walter seemed very happy and was licking her which is a good seal of approval from Walter. She seemed very experienced because Walter can be a handful and she was very good at settling him down. I could tell he had had a good experience with Belinda and had really enjoyed his walk. She also seemed very conscientious and I had no worries about my fur ball going on a walk with her.”


About: I’m a WFH professional who absolutely adores animals. I love to walk and be active so your dog will always be throughly walked and cared for. I start work at 9am so I can do any drop ins or walks before then, I’m also able to do drop ins during the day if needed. Working from home means I can take my laptop anywhere and spend every break either walking, playing or just lounging on the sofa with your pet. I work from home most of the week, so I can be available for drop ins, walks and home sitting. With plenty of breaks I usually spend these taking the dogs out for a walk or playing ball through the house. I’m not offering this service due to my current housing situation. If this changes then I will let you know in the future. Thank you.

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, providing walks, play, feeding, cuddles, training, and medication with patience, reliability, and lots of love. My schedule is flexible due to my part-time support worker role. I work varying hours, usually 2-6 hours per shift, with every other weekend and sleep-ins. I always respect each pet’s routine and the owner’s home as if it were my own. I ensure pets are safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and provide lots of love, attention, and gentle supervision throughout my visit.

“Finley and Tilly loved their walks with Taylor this weekend! On-time and extremely friendly; I wouldn’t hesitate to use Taylor again and would highly recommend to friends! Thank you so much!”

About: With over 12 years of pet care experience, I bring a lifetime of love and devotion to your furry family members. Growing up in a home with four dogs, I found solace and joy in their companionship, cherishing every cuddle and wagging tail. As a doctoral researcher with a background in health, I offer a unique blend of compassion and expertise in caring for pets of all ages and needs. My husband and I work from home, ensuring round-the-clock attention for your beloved companions. Our own pup, Chickoo, eagerly awaits new furry friends to romp and play with.

I always stick with pet’s usual schedule but if you’re looking for a daycare, I can only provide maximum one walk/day. I’m currently doing research so I spend most the time at home and cherry on the top, even if I go out for few hours my husband is always home to look after your buddy. At both the owner's home and my own, safety, I conduct a thorough initial consultation to understand each pet's unique needs and preferences, ensuring a seamless transition. At the owner's home, I maintain a clean, hazard-free environment, adhering to their routines and rules. I prioritize trust by providing regular updates and respecting their privacy. In my home, I maintain a secure, pet-friendly space, complete with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. I create a calm, loving atmosphere, ensuring pets feel comfortable and relaxed. Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities, whether at the owner's home or mine.

About: Hi there! I am a 30 year old animal lover. I have completed a Certificate II and Certificate III in Animal Studies at TAFE and am a Qualified Animal Attendant. I have previously volunteered at the RSPCA Animal Shelter where i was responsible for the care of homeless cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice and other animals. I loved my experience volunteering at the RSPCA as i got the opportunity to provide care and affection to those animals that need it most. At the RSPCA i would feed/water the animals, take the dogs out for walks and exercise, play with and cuddle the cats, clean animal enclosures and groom the animals also. I have had many different pets over the years myself including: dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, mice, fish, hermit crabs. You are able to put your trust in me not only for my personal experience of caring for a variety of pets over my lifetime but also my educational training and professional experience working in Australia's most well-known and trusted animal Shelter. I work full time in a corporate role. My work is hybrid and I am working 3 days at home. My work is fairly independent/ flexible to allow me to take regular breaks whilst at home to check on the pets. I have a good sized garden however it is unfenced so would supervise dogs on a leash when going out. My back door has a cat flap however it only recognises my cat cookies microchip.

Sucheta M.Star Sitter
“As a friend who has known Sucheta since childhood, I can attest to her deep love for nature and animals, especially dogs. She has always been a soft-spoken, kind-hearted individual, with a natural ability to connect with and care for animals. She treats every dog as if they were her own, providing them with the love, attention, and care they deserve. Her gentle demeanor and compassionate nature make her an awesome human being, not just for her furry friends, but for everyone she encounters. I have no doubt that she would provide safe, loving care and exceptional customer service to anyone who entrusts their pets to her care. Thank you Monica”


Alison W.
“I have known Alison for many years, since school days. I was delighted to find that she had moved back to our home town and was even more delighted when she offered to pet sit for my Dalmatian dog and Siamese cat. Alison is totally reliable, trustworthy, respectable and caring. From the moment she met Mr Black (dog) and Spooky (cat) it was clear that we would have no worries leaving them in her care. Alison made detailed notes of any information we gave her regarding the personalities of the animals and how they would normally be cared for. Mr Black sulks in our absence but Alison found ways to motivate him for walks as well as giving him the love and affection he craves. Spooky is apprehensive of strangers but was totally at ease with Alison. During our absence Alison kept us updated on request of how the animals were doing and we were content to know they were being well cared for and had been left in safe hands. I highly recommend Alison as a dog and/or house sitter.”

Aside from this Bridget often supports if buddy is going to be home alone all day / or if we need a pet sitter for the evening. I would highly recommend Bridget to anybody who has pet sitting needs”
