I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend the Bain Fallon Equine Veterinary conference last weekend as a student volunteer.

Although I was only able to stay for the weekend ultrasound workshop I was able to learn so much and it was amazing to connect with student and vets from all around Australia! Day one consisted of lectures from vets around the world on correct ultrasound technique and new research findings. My favourite takeaway was that researches have found that a Doppler signal (a special ultrasound signal that picks up blood flow) in a tendon is directly related to damage which helps us monitor sport injuries over time. The second day consisted of holding horses (and sometimes having a go at ultrasounding) at the new state of the art Scone Equine Hospital! My personal highlight definitely was ultrasounding a larynx (back of a horses throat) which can be used in conjunction with endoscopic exams (the camera exam thinngy) to get a better idea of a wide range of performance limiting conditions (such as roaring)

Thank you again to the EVA for awarding me this opportunity. Here's just a preview of the dozens of dozing horses I held and a few of many weird concentration faces I pulled while trying to understand all the information presented!

I thought I'd pop on here quickly to share my availability for the rest of the year... I can't believe it's halfway through June already!
It's been a full on semester at university, I've sat just over 15 exams in the space of 3 months and handed in many assignments!
My availability for the rest of the year is as follows:
- July- fully booked for house sitting, 2 spots available for once or twice a day visits
- August/September/October/November- availability for both house sitting and once or twice a day visits
- December (including Christmas/New Years) fully booked for house sitting, some limited availability for once or twice a day visits

These spots will fill fast so message me today if you have a holiday coming up! I can't wait to continue to look after your fur babies!

24/02/2024

I hope everyone's had an amazing start to the year! I know things have been a little quiet on my end and you may be wondering why it's taking me around 1-2 business days to respond to enquiries...
So here's a snapshot of my last few months!
I had the amazing opportunity to attend veterinary clinics for my pre-clinical rotations snd put some of my hard work into practice in both Queensland and Tasmania!
I've then jumped straight back into uni starting my second last year!

As far as my availability for this semester, i still have plenty of availability for once or twice a day visits with very little house sitting availability due to my bookings becoming rather full already!

Message me today to ask me how I can make your next holiday away more stress free for both you and your fur babies!

Don't forget to check my other post to check my availability for the rest of December!

A week in my life!

I absolutely love every aspect of learning that vet school offers, but one of my favourites is definitely getting to put everything I've learnt into practice in both the learning hub and in the teaching hospital!

Did you know I offer more than just simple pet care? I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the joys of pet ownership, no matter your schedule or experience! For example, I can show you how to administer medication in a fear free way to minimise the stress on both you and your pet!

Message me today to see how I can help reduce the stress of pet ownership and boost the joy!

With the weather now well and truly warming up, remember to think about your furry friend! Choose cooler temperatures to walk or exercise your dog's, especially young, old or bracheocephalic breeds! Remember even at the beach the sand is hot!

30/09/2023

I hope everyone is having an amazing long weekend! I just wanted to quickly update everyone on my availability for the end of the year!

- December: I still have spots for once or twice a day visits throughout December! However I don't have any availability for hours sitting at this stage.

- January and February- unfortunately I'm on university placement in Tasmania and then Queensland so I don't have availability for looking after your pets

Message today to secure your spot! I can't wait to look after all of your gorgeous fur babies!

UPDATE: I've found accommodation, thank you so much to the amazing community 🥰

Hey everyone!

I've just been advised by university that I will be completing a placement in Spring Ridge NSW on the 9th- 15th of July and I thought I'd put out some feelers to see if someone would like free pet sitting in the area in exchange for accommodation!

I'd be willing to travel around 30 minutes to the placement! So I figured somewhere in/around Gunnedah would be perfect!

And I'd be more than happy to pet sit a farm or just in a residential area, I'm at home in both environments!

I have had experience looking after performance horses as well as stallions on an Arabian breeding farm as well as handling cattle, sheep and plenty of chickens on an organic farm for a month! I of course also have looked after many gorgeous companion animals including those requiring specialised attention such as injections for diabetes.

Unfortunaly i am on placement the week before already so the earliest i could arrive would be the afternoon of the 8th of July! But I would be more than happy to tailor the day i leave to your needs.

Feel free to message me and we can chat about how I can best help you have an amazing time away!

Just a quick update regarding upcoming availability!

I am fully booked for June with house sitting and placements but do have limited availability for pet visits!
July I am on placement from the 2nd to 16th July out of area but I am available for pet visits or house sitting outside these dates!

✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

I hope everyone has had a lovely start to 2023!

I just wanted to share a quick update about my availability during 2023 due to going back to study full time! I've decided due to my ever increasing workload at university to take a break from working during my semesters and instead only offer pet sitting services during my breaks.
These breaks are few and far between, and the dates are as follows:

19th June to 24th July
27th November - 19th of January

Unfortunately, even inside these breaks, I attend placements nationally, and therefore, my availability is not guaranteed during these times.

Additionally, I will not be working from the 24th of December to the 2nd of January 😊

Although I will miss meeting so many new fur families, I look forward to everything I'm learning this year to ensure I can be the best dogtor I can be 🥰

UPDATE: I've found somewhere, thank you everyone!

I've just been advised by university that I will be completing a placement in beautiful Waverly NSW between the 30th of January and the 3rd of February and I thought I'd put out some feelers to see if someone would like free pet sitting in the area in exchange for accommodation!

I'd be willing to travel around 30 minutes! So somewhere like Scone would be perfect!
And I'd be more than happy to pet sit a farm or just in a residential area, I'm at home in both environments!

Of course I can stay for a few extra days/come earlier depending on your holiday!

Feel free to message me and we can chat about how I can best help you have an amazing time away!

It has been a while since I last updated you all! I'm so excited to announce that I have been continuing my education through completing fear free certification for both dogs and cats as well as avian species! This course focuses on stress free handling as well as training techniques and how to read body language of our fur and feathered companions!
I am so excited to be able to share this with you all and I've already been implementing all that I learnt when I look after your fur families!
Stay tuned for more exciting updates as I complete more of these certificates!

Update for my beautiful Hawkabruy and surrounds clients...

Since its been a while since my last update I thought I'd take a minute to write one! As some of you may know I moved to camden away from the beautiful hawkesbury earlier this year to be closer to university while I complete my post graduate degree (doctor of Veterinary Medicine) after completing my undergraduate degree last year (bachelor of veterinary biology). I however, still continue to visit the Hawkesbury every weekend so I am regularly available Friday night- Sunday night for pet sitting. With the holiday season coming up fast and the university semester coming to a close (so weekdays are now free for pet sits as well!) I thought I'd share my availability for the December/January period...

This year I have decided to take Christmas Eve, Christmas day, New Years Eve and New Years Day off but I am available throughout the rest of December.

January is slightly more complicated due to university placements for my degree so I will be unavailable the 3rd- 7th of January and mornings from the 24th- 29th of January. I will be going away from the afternoon of the 8th to the afternoon of the 16th of January on my first holiday in a while!

I can't wait to look after your fur babies while you enjoy a (well deserved!) Holiday! Feel free to message me for any more information or clarification, I am always more than happy to have a chat!

I can't wait to learn all about you and your fur babies so I thought I would start off with a bit of an introduction about me...

I have always adored animals, from living and breathing race horses when I was younger, to now studying to be a Vet at Sydney University. I was fortunate enough to grow up on a small family farm where I have witnessed many cows, sheep, goats and alpacas come into this world and take their first few wobbly steps. As well as some beautiful miniature foxy puppies! As my dad likes to say, I own enough animals to build an arc!

I wanted to start this business to give fellow pet owners the freedom to go away knowing their pet was in safe hands, in their own home. Growing up I always worried when I went away and left my animals at a kennel they would be stressed out in a new environment without me. My motto is to keep your animals environment as close to normal as possible to reduce stress on both them and you!

Now to introduce my beautiful current pets...

I own two beautiful horses, one of which is a rescue so I am no stranger to animals needing a little more love to be able to catch them and feed them, I will always be patient with your fur babies and treat them like my own.

I have two beautiful rescue cats, Luna that is a little shy and unsure but just requires a lot of love and attention and Sol (short for Solar) who is cheeky and is contently getting himself in places that he shouldn't!

I also have two beautiful rabbits (Zeus and Athena) who love to run around and destroy things! They are both rescues and I am so grateful that I get the opportunity to let them live out their years in air-conditioned comfort with all the hay they could ask for!

I also own a rescue musk lorikeet that I hand raised! He loves to say his own name but can nip if you're not careful!

As well as my two beautiful miniature goats that live on my parent's farm, Junior who loves to eat hay! and her baby Albert (named after Albert Einstein) who still thinks he is a few hours old and loves to climb on my lap for cuddles!

I completed my bachelor of veterinary biology at sydney university last year and now have continued my studies with doctor of veterinary medicine at sydney university of which I am now in my second year!

Did you know that I offer dog walking services as well as pet care?

With many people going back to work and the short winter days your dogs might not be getting the walks they need... I currently walk one beautiful puppy on a weekly basis (pictured below) but I’d love to have the opportunity to walk more!

18/12/2019

🔥
If you suspect your pet is suffering from heat stress please don’t wait until it’s too late to get them to a vet.
It’s better to be safe than sorry.
🔥
Keep short nosed & arctic breeds air conditioned when possible & make sure they have access to plenty of clean water.
🔥
Moved rabbit & guinea pig hutches indoors or under cover & provide shallow dishes of water & frozen water bottles for them to cool down on.
