I am an active friendly 30yr old, I grew up on a farm in Australia surrounded by animals (dogs, cats, birds, chickens, ducks, sheep, cattle... and the occassional bobtail lizard who came to visit). I have since travelled and lived in Europe for more than 3 years and am now based in beautiful Victoria, Canada since the beginning of 2016. During my travels I really missed having animals around, however I was also fortunate to be able to stay with host families who had pets and to house/pet sit.

I have been petsitting in Victoria, BC for more than 18 months and have regular clients in Oak Bay and Oaklands neighbourhoods. I petsit weekends and short stays. I've looked after cats, as well as both medium and large size dogs: whippet, labrador, shitzu, newfoundland dog and mixed breeds.

I have also pet-sat overseas in England, Australia, The Netherlands and Norway.

I have my own transport and I love being active - going hiking, to the park, the beach - and taking a dog makes getting outside so much more fun and rewarding!

It is such a wonderful thing to see dogs exercising, enjoying the outdoors and socialising with other dogs. For me, pet sitting is a great way to be able to interact with animals, and to show them love and affection while their family is away. It is a pleasure to be able to provide peace-of-mind to pet owners, knowing their pet/s will be looked after and loved.
