Pet Sitter in Perth

Look no further for a dedicated pet sitter in Perth

Hi, I am Sharon. I have been a pet sitter in Perth for Pet Friends since March 2012. I am available to provide pet home care in Greenwood and surrounding north Perth suburbs. Pet home care includes dog walking and daily home visits to feed, clean and play with your pets. To find out more information about pet home care click the link. I have always owned pets throughout my life and understand the need for pet owners to have someone trustworthy and reliable to care for their pets when they are holidaying or unable to do so. Since joining Petfriends,  I have thoroughly enjoy the variety of animals that come into my care. I especially love having a canine buddy to go on beautiful walks in some of the great parklands across the northern suburbs. What makes it even more enjoyable being a pet sitter in Perth is the feedback we receive from grateful pet owners...."You did a wonderful job, we were so pleased. Thank you very much! We will be recommending your services to our friends" (Matt & Eli Sleigh, Sorrento);  “..a massive thanks to you and Sharon for looking after Elvis and Pepper for us! certainly a relief that we can leave them in future with no worries. Thanks again!!!!! (Hajer & Gareth Miller, Greenwood): "please thank Sharon k for looking after our birds on Tuesdays and tell her she’s super lucky that bubbles and squeak climbed on her as they don’t go near ‘strangers’. Good job guys thank u!" ( Tali, Heathridge).

My qualifications and hands on experience enable me to be a competent pet sitter

I am currently enrolled at Polytechnic West in Certificate IV Veterinary Nursing part-time. I will be fully qualified by the end of this year. I was recently working part-time at Karrinyup Small Animal Hospital as a vet nurse for 18 months. In July 2010, I completed Certificate III in Companion Animal Services. During this course, I have had experience handling dogs through the K9 Day Care service provided on campus. This includes hydro-bathing and dog training. During that time, I completed my work prac at Padbury Veterinary clinic gaining experience in the running of the surgery and also their kennel/cattery service. I am also able to administer any medications with confidence due to my veterinary nursing skills.

Take comfort in the knowledge your beloved pets are in the hands of a capable pet sitter in Perth

During 2010, I had casual employment taking a variety of animals to primary schools and community events for education talks and handling experience. I have been a volunteer at Native Animal Rescue since the beginning of 2009.  I am not currently volunteering time due to study and work commitments. If you are looking for a pet sitter and live in the suburbs of Greenwood, Marmion,  Hamersley, North Beach,  Waterman,  Craigie, Ocean Reef, Edgewater or surrounding suburbs I am really looking forward to meeting you and your pets. I would love to be your preferred pet sitter in Perth.

Pet Minder in Perth

Looking for a Reliable Pet Minder in Perth? Look no further!

  Hi, I am Suzie. I have been a pet minder in Perth for Pet Friends since May 2007. I am available to provide pet home care in Duncraig and surrounding north Perth suburbs. Pet home care includes dog walking and daily home visits to feed, clean and play with your pets. More information on these services can be found at http://www.petfriends.net.au/petfriends-service  

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.

  A dedicated pet minder in Perth thrives on getting their hands dirty!

As my husband and I have no children of our own, our cats , parrots and chooks are our babies, bringing us lots of joy, comic relief, and loads of mess. We call our place "house of guano", but they’re so worth it!   That’s why I enjoy being a pet minder in Perth so much. My friendship with animals now extends to my work life. I have the best job in the world! It doesn’t even feel like work. It’s more a pleasure and responsibility in keeping someone’s precious companion safe and happy.   If you are looking for a pet minder in Perth and live in the suburbs of Duncraig, Sorrento, Carine, Greenwood, Kingsley, Padbury, Hillarys, Joondalup or surrounding suburbs I am really looking forward to meeting you and your pets. I would love to be your preferred pet minder in Perth.

If you need a Pet Sitter in Perth, consider me.

Allow me to be your personal Pet Sitter in Perth.

Hi, I am Jody. I have been on the Pet Friends team since August 2010. I am available to provide pet home care in Northbridge and surrounding North Perth suburbs. Pet home care includes dog walking and daily home visits to feed, clean and play with your pets. Click on this link for more information on how a pet sitter in Perth like me can assist with your pet care needs.  

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 dog 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.

How safe is it to use a Pet Sitter?

In the 18 years I have been providing pet sitter services to pet lovers in Perth I have occasionally been asked

"Is it safe to leave my pets at home while I am away"

My response to this is a resounding "Yes".  But you don't have to rely solely on my word. Just click on this link to see what many others who have used a pet sitter also have to say.

Using a pet sitter is safe for your pets

These happy pet owners have discovered that the service provided by a pet sitter fulfills all requirements for their pets' care in terms of both physical and psychological well being. This is because our pets are happiest in their own environment. I elaborate further on this in another article, for more you can click on this link to read how  pet home care  stacks up against using kennels and catteries to board your pets while you are away. In fact, having a pet sitter visiting the home daily has also proven on occasions to be safest for your home.

Using a pet sitter is safe for your home

I can remember one owner being terribly relieved that their pet sitter was able to avert serious damage occurring to their home after a mains water pipe burst in their back yard. It was just a routine day with Pet Friends carers across the northern suburbs visiting and feeding and walking pets whilst their owners were away. Suzie was at the home of  2 cats and 2 rabbits which she was feeding in the owners' absence. In this case, the cats lived outdoors and were to be fed in the front carport area and the rabbits hutch was in a front courtyard. Gardens were on automatic retic. There was no necessity to go into the back yard. However, Pet Friends pet carers are trained to conduct routine checks of homes we visit and to be observant of anything unusual, eg. parcels/papers left, doors, windows tampered with or broken, retic dug up or not working, pool turning green, holes being dug, etc. On this day, Suzie noticed something very disturbing  whilst doing her usual routine check around the home. There was water coming up through the pavers near the laundry. She reported this immediately. I advised her to turn the water off at the mains until I arrived, around 20 minutes later. By this time, when I turned the water on to check it, it was bubbling rapidly through the pavers and, if not turned off immediately, threatened to flood the home. The owner was contacted, and a plumber arranged and the issue was resolved with no damage. There could have been very serious consequences and costs had the owners used pet boarding and had no one visiting to check on their home. On another occasion, a pet sitter noticed flames licking up from under the pavers near a hot water system. Apparently there was a leak in one of the pipes near the system and the gas had risen high enough to be ignited by the pilot light. Again, this would have been disastrous for the home owners had it gone undetected...they were overseas for 3 weeks and chose to have their 3 dogs cared for at their home instead of in a kennel. The owners were notified, a gas plumber called out, and disaster averted. luckily these incidents are few and far between. But it is far better that someone is visiting your home to notice and have them dealt with than not at all. Give yourself peace of mind when next you go away and leave your home and pets in  safe hands. Click on this link to see how a pet sitter can help you.
