About Willow
Hi everyone!
I’m a teacher and a passionate animal lover, currently saving for my first home. I’ve found caring for pets to be incredibly rewarding, and I fully understand the responsibility and trust it takes to look after your home and your furry family members. I pride myself on being honest and dedicated, and I take great care in making sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away.
A note about my puppy (Beans):
I have a 6-month-old puppy (as of October) who can either stay with my family if you’d prefer not to have her in your home, or she can accompany me if that’s something you’re comfortable with. She attends doggy daycare during the day, so she wouldn’t be left alone in your home while I’m at work.
I am highly experienced, having had been a full-time petsitter for the past 3 years, only going on hiatus over the last few months whilst taking care of my puppy (Beans). I have years of experience with animals of all shapes and sizes, having owned and fostered a variety of pets over the years. This means I’m comfortable with everything from energetic dogs to quiet cats, and I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s personality and needs. Although I work full-time during the school term (from 8 am to 4 pm on weekdays), I’m committed to providing the best care possible during evenings and weekends.
I also have a background in working at a doggy daycare and grooming studio, so you can be assured that your pets are in good hands. In addition, I’ve undergone a police check for my teaching job, so you can trust that I’m reliable and trustworthy.
About my services:
My only current service is overnight stays with dogs or cats, where I stay in your home to ensure your pet(s) feel comfortable and secure. I handle everything from feeding, walking, and bathroom breaks to administering medication, providing cuddles, and keeping up with any routines your pets are used to. Walks are typically 60 minutes, but I can adjust based on your dog’s specific needs. I also have a dog-friendly car and can provide transportation if required.
I’m more than happy to meet with you beforehand to make sure you’re comfortable and confident about who’s taking care of your home and pets.
