Hi there! My name is Katie and I am 25 years old. I moved to Western Australia 2 Years ago which I absolutely love! Australia is a truly beautiful place. I have had several years experience with animals- from helping look after my friends and other people's pets to working in a veterinary hospital. I have atleast 6 months employment experience working as a Veterinary Patient Care Assistant in a busy 24hr veterinary hospital which involves caring for several different cats and dogs everyday with varying needs. Through this experience I have discovered that I am comfortable working with all different breeds and sizes and giving medications if required. I have also volunteered as a canine caring assistant at Mayhew Animal home which involved helping look after rescue dogs. I have always loved meeting and helping look after animals especially cats and dogs. Whatever their size or character they all are beautifully individual with a soft and caring heart who deserve all the fun, care and love in the world.
Over the past few years I have helped pet sit for several of my friends' and neighbours' cats and dogs as well as having pet sitted for various clients' pets from the hospital.
The services I offer include dog walking, dog sitting and cat sitting. In my experience of dog walking, depending on the breed or age of the dog as well as the owners choice they will need a different length of walk. I have walked whippets and lerchers who ususally need walks averagely between 45-1hr 30 walks atleast twice a day and also older labradors and french bulldogs who have needed shorter walks twice a day. I love going for walks with dogs and keeping a caring eye on making sure they are having fun but also staying safe. I will only ever walk a pet to an area that the owner is happy for me to take them. I enjoy looking after and meeting all breeds of dogs and cats and will always work to the best of my ability to make sure they feel happy and comfortable and healthy.
Additionally, I enjoy and have experience in looking after mice and gerbils as I used to have two pet mice and I looked after my friend's pet gerbils in the recent past. I understand how regularly the bedding must be changed and the correct types of food to give each.
Please contact me if I can help. I would love to meet you and your lovely furry friend(s) to help :)
All the best!
Katie :)
