A deeply ingrained love of animals makes me a loving pet minder in Perth

 

I always had pets growing up, such as cats and dogs, mice and fish, birds and even stick insects.

 

 

Our family home backed onto bush land, so as kids, my brother and I were always finding injured birds , stray dogs, dumped kittens and feral cats. All were promptly brought home and cared for along with plenty of pleading to our long suffering parents to keep them. Our home was an absolute menagerie, with existing pets and recuperating visitors….we would have made Dr Doolittle proud:)

 

 

I felt then, as I do now, a real connection to my pet friends.

 

 

I felt such a personal responsibility for all ‘critters’, feathered or furry, and quite fancied myself to be just like Ellie-may Clampert from the sitcom “the Beverley Hill Billies”, though not as good looking.

 

That same love and care for animals has continued throughout my adult years. I have been involved with various animal welfare groups, more recently raising funds for RSPCA and Malu Ballai Wildlife Carers.

 

I look forward to being your favourite Pet House Sitter in Perth.

A good pet sitter in Perth is passionate about animals and their well being.

As a pet sitter in Perth animals are my life. They are my joy, my career and my hobby. My childhood was spent caring for our guinea pigs, fish, chickens and dogs. As an adult, I foster care for cats and rats, have a 90l tropical aquarium and 3 rats and last year completed my Certificate III in Companion Animal Services. Dogs are a huge passion of mine and my local dog park is one of my favourite places in the world. Whilst renting I could not have a dog of my own, but I volunteered to walk my neighbours dogs for the last 6 months and it honestly is the highlight of my day. I am a great walker and lover of the outdoors.

To be a good pet sitter in Perth, I spent a year working at Cat Haven and fostering for cats and I am very confident in dealing with them. I have extensive knowledge of their health requirements and have excellent observational skills when looking for changes in their behaviour and health. A good pet sitter in Perth loves all types of pets. Small Animals are also a passion of mine. I have 3 male adult rats whom I treat like my own children and am actively involved in the Perth Rat Rescue and Rehabilitation community. I also have experience handling rabbits, mice, reptiles including snakes, frogs, birds and fish.

A good pet sitter in Perth has experience looking after animals and an ability to understand pet’s needs.

In 2010 I spent 3 weeks in rural Bolivia as a volunteer working 12 hours a day in an organisation that rehabilitates wild animals that have been victims of animal smuggling or the pet trade.

Through my volunteering and paid work as Branch Co-ordinator for SAFE (Saving Animals from Euthanasia), a charity dedicated to saving the lives of dogs and cats on death row, I have dealt with animals with behavioural problems. As an experienced pet sitter in Perth, I am confident dealing with boisterous, troublesome or slightly aggressive dogs. I have basic knowledge of obedience techniques and this is something I would love to expand my knowledge of.

If you are looking for a pet sitter in Perth and live in the suburbs of Northbridge, Perth, Leederville, Wembley, Floreat, Subiaco, West Perth or surrounding suburbs I am really looking forward to meeting you and your pets. I really want to be your preferred pet sitter in Perth.

It is well known that dogs and cats are territorial animals. They have particular spaces within their territory designated for rest (a quiet place where they will not be disturbed) and for activity (places to play, hunt, eat and defecate), and paths between these areas.

They feel secure so long as these area and pathways don’t change, if they do they will become stressed.

In addition, cats are solitary animals. They don’t like to share their territory and need privacy and independence. Cohabitation with other animals can be highly stressful.

For this reason, we at PetFriends believe Pet Home Care is best for your pets. Using in – home pet carers your pets don’t have to be caged. They can stay in their own home and sleep in their own beds surrounded by their own toys. A majority of kennels do not allow you to put your dog’s personal bed in with them (it may get damaged or lost), they have to lie on a cold plastic bed on a concrete floor surrounded by many other howling dogs who don’t like it any more than they do.

Dogs and cats become anxious when their routine is changed. Pet Home Care keeps them close to their regular feeding and exercise routine providing stability and consistency.

Your pets will be fed their usual food and water and the treats and snacks you provide. At kennels/catteries feeding times are done to a schedule which most likely won’t reflect what your pet is used to. Some charge you if you bring your own food. This change in diet can upset your pet’s digestion and result in diarrhea.

Because of these set schedules and multiple handlers, there is also the risk your pet may not receive important medication in the correct dose or at the correct time.

Your pet receives  one to one personal attention with Pet Home Care which ensures they are getting all the tender loving care they deserve. In a kennel/cattery adequate attention and exercise is not always guaranteed.

Exercise time may be all of 15 minutes and is limited to those dogs who socialize well together. Bigger dogs may not get enough exercise, and smaller dogs may not be able to keep up. Individual time for specific dogs is difficult as any time a handler enters the kennels it excites all the dogs and stresses them all out. Petfriends will take your dog to his/her local park, will groom you cat and play chase in the yard.

With Pet Home Care your pets will not be exposed to aggressive behavior of other animals or illness such as ticks, fleas and kennel cough. Testimonials from our clients tell us they are calmer, healthier and happier to see them when they come home.
