About Rebecca

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

I love all creatures. That’s why, I’m here !!

Your Pets wellbeing is my #1 priority

I take great pride in what I do & I LOVE caring for all of the animals in my care ~ Just quietly I prefer animals over humans most days & I make no apology for saying “I’m about the pets not their people” I’ll do my best to keep you happy, for sure! But my main aim is to provide a fun, safe, fur friendly & enjoyable experience that will make your pet feel their best - confident, safe, happy & loved!!

I have tonnes of experience with animals having spent my holidays as a child on a farm & growing up with what resembled a small petting Zoo or Noah's Ark. My Fur Family members have included Cats, Dogs, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs & Mice a couple of hand raised Magpies, Clydesdale Horses, Chickens & a Piglet. Although I must say my favourite house pet is without a doubt those wonderful slobbery, tail wagging Dogs! 🐕🐾

Living with me is my own fur baby Cheezel a 13 year old Chihuahua whom I trained myself and for a small dog he has one great big heart and personality ~ he wins the hearts of many as he tries to con you into giving him food with his clever tricks.

Cheezel unfortunately has started to go blind from cataracts and has adopted a grumpy old man attitude but he is really friendly & loves everyone, he just needs a moment to have a sniff of you first, so please excuse his bark n growl he doesn’t mean to harm or scare you he just can’t see you, which can be frightening when you’re only ankle height.

Having trained several dogs over the years ~ my own plus friends & families dogs ranging in sizes and breeds. I am very comfortable and confident with all breeds, sizes, ages and with your agreement would use the basic training methods whilst caring/walking your Dog. Training your dog to walk at heel on the lead, sit at roadsides & wait for command before crossing and rewarding them with lots of positive praise & pats (occasionally treats but I do prefer to reward with pats - I have found that to get the best results long term).

Every dog is different and each one responds differently to different training techniques. I aim to build the dogs trust and confidence with lots of cuddles, praise & treats. There is nothing more rewarding, than seeing a dog responding to being praised and patted after successfully learning a new command.

SERVICES AVAILABLE - @ YOUR Address/Home 

  1. WALK / RUN:- 45 minutes approx at a pace which is enjoyable & comfortable for your pet. Lead by positive reinforcement all walks include treats & cuddles, poop bags + Pickup/drop off. These are structured walks & always ON LEASH in your local area or at the one of the many parks, beaches or waterways - for the safety of your dog & the Public I DO NOT offer Off-Leash walks until a full assessment of your dogs behaviour, re-call & general obedience are assessed. $35
  2. HOME VISIT(s) x1 per day:- A half hour visit breaking up their wait until you get home. Giving you peace of mind that your pet has fresh water/food, a toilet break, playtime & lots of positive attention & cuddles/pats. ** Optional Extras for Dog Home Visits ** Add a walk to burn off excess energy or Book a Taxi Service to the Vet or Groomers. 
  3. HOUSE SITTING:- Overnight Paw & Claws Companion ~ I stay overnight in your home; as a sleepover buddy. Making sure your pets are happy, fed/watered, safe & well entertained & not peeing on your favourite rug, whilst keeping to their usual daily routine.
  4. Pets are happiest when they can have a routine. Having their Human away is stressful enough but by maintaining their everyday routine we have found that with most pets it helps in minimising the risk of unwanted anxiety & stress whilst they wait for you to return.

    Not only will I take excellent care of your fur-baby, making sure they that their daily needs are taken care of but - I think I go the extra mile to please them all; as I love finding new games/toys/places to explore with your fur baby.

    It goes without saying I give the pets all tonnes of love & attention - I enjoy the playtime just as much as the animals do!!

    Relax easy with total peace of mind knowing your home and best fur friend are well cared for and safe! Better still they are having a great time!!

    Plus on top of the Pawshake Guarantee for your added piece of mind. I have full insurance coverage including public liability should a misfortunate incident ever occur. Boasting zero claims to date *Touch Wood with my safe practices & safety checks that zero claims continue 🤞👍

    Any questions please fire them through to me & I'll answer as soon as possible - I prioritise pets first so if I am on an assignment, walk or transporting please be patient, I will answer as quickly as possible!! ☺️

    Home Visits & Walks conducted in 2 sessions 8am-12pm & 4pm until 8pm

    I look forward to meeting you & your pets soon.

    Cheers Becs

    Rebecca is a true animal lover. And they love her too. She is also extremely helpful with the overall process and ensuring all arrangements are sorted and finalised, this gives you such peace of mind and confidence, I could not have asked for a better person and I would not hesitate to book her again. She left my fur baby very content and happy and my house looking lovely. Thank you Becs!

    After being let down by the previous sitter while I was overseas, Rebecca was able to take on the job during my crisis and taken such good care of my cats! From two scaredy cats, Rebecca helped them become two brave girls whom got so comfortable with her so quickly (They used to be terrified of other people!). And with it being my first time leaving them for such a long period, Rebecca definitely put my mind at ease with updates and pictures. Highly recommend her services!
