Your home or Ours I live with my wife. I am an honest, reliable, long-term local resident.
(4)

I have recently taken early retirement, so I have all the time in the world to give your pet the best care and attention whilst in my care. Our two adult children no longer live at home, so it is just the two of us. During your pets stay they will be treated as part of our family and I will follow your care plan. We love having indoor pets but they must be house trained. As part of the sitting fee

, daily walking of your dog/s is included in the price. Owner to provide pet food to ensure there is consistency in diet. I will also look after your pet at your home if you prefer and will include watering gardens, pot plants, collecting mail, etc if required. Depending on the level of work you are seeking we can determine a price based on time requirements. I have a current criminal history check certificate completed on 11 February 2021. How long are the dog walks or how many do you offer per day etc? Dogs who are in my care are walked and will normally get a minimum of 3km or this could change depending on the owners request i.e requirements/ health of the dog. How much time you can usually spend with guest pets on a daily basis? I have taken early retirement so I will have all the time to dedicate to your pet. I am home all day generally. Will you be home with the dogs all the time? Yes

What is your home like? We have a 3 bedroom low set home set on a 1090 square meter block. So plenty of room for your dog to run around. Where are the guest pets allowed to sleep? The pets are allowed to sleep inside as one of the requirements of them staying at our house is they are house trained. If you have a backyard, what is it like? Is it fully fenced? Our backyard is a fully fenced 1090 square meter block with plenty of open space for them to run around and explore. Are your gates safe and secured? We have secure gates but your dog will not be left unsupervised in our backyard as we have a relaxing outdoor area where we sit with our birds of a day. So I will be supervising whilst they are in the yard. About your services at the owner's home

Handy hint I discovered to remove pet hair from rugs and carpets.
I was surprised at how much hair the vacuum cleaner does not pick up.
Cheap squeegee mop from a cheap store.
Plus it makes your rugs and carpets look new again.

Hi everyone
I have been thinking about the rising cost of living and I know how costly some of the pet foods can be. I am thinking about going into selling pet food, to help people reduce costs.
Please if you are interested could you answer these couple of question. This will hopefully give me an indication if it’s going to be worth looking into and make it cheaper for everyone.

1 Brand
2 Dry or wet
3 Cost and bag size
4 How regular you purchase
5 pet type (cat/dog/birds)

Thank you
