Hello! Welcome to our profile. Thank you for taking the time to find out more about us.
UPDATE March 2024. We are currently available for last minute, short sits up to 5 days in and around Perth, Mandurah and Bunbury. We always sit for free because we genuinely love animals and helping people.
We are Scott and Dianne, a quiet, mature and kind couple who have been together for over 20 years. We have recently bought a house near Mandurah to be closer to family but we're keen to continue our wonderful pet sitting life with short stay sits in and around Perth.
We are very experienced pet sitters currently on our 105th pet sit (Mar 2024) Our roamings are slightly curtailed at the moment due to sharing the care of our elderly mother but we're eager to explore more of the wonderful Perth suburbs for shorter sits.
Rather than overload you with information, here are 5 facts about us. If you like what you read and think we could be a good match for you, we'd be more than happy to start a conversation to see how we can be of help to you and your furry pals.
1. We've been sitting all over the world since 2017. We love this nomadic pet sitting lifestyle because we genuinely love all animals and enjoy spending the majority of our time with all those entrusted to our care. We get asked back for lots of repeat sits so we guess our calm ways are working their magic.
2. We have loads of experience with cats from pedigrees to moggies. We love grooming and cuddling - the cats as well as ourselves! We also have had many great times with all the dogs we have cared for and we love nothing more than regular walks and playtime with all the animals we befriend. We've had lots of experience walking all sizes and breeds through our volunteer work at a dog shelter in Spain. We should also give a mention to the rabbits, small furries, fish and even sheep we've looked after but sadly we cannot care for reptiles (Dianne wishes them no harm but is not keen on sharing her space with them!). We're used to nervous animals, youngsters and elders and those requiring medication or special diets.
3. We are 100% committed and focused on all the animals we look after. We understand the importance of sticking to an animal's normal routine in order to minimise any stress they may feel in your absence. We're happy to cook special food, administer medication and have the animals sleep with us - if that's what makes them feel good. We have been pet owners ourselves so we know how it feels to love an animal and to trust someone else to care for it as well as you do.
4. We're retired business owners who occasionally work online. We are usually in and out throughout the day and more than happy to include your dog in our outings either on foot or, if they are happy, in the car. We can also guarantee we will be in most every night due to the fact that we're of an age now where we like nothing more than a good Netflix series in the evening! In short - we're there for the animals and we never leave them alone for more than a couple of hours (if that). Sometimes the cats wish we would leave them alone! But the dogs always like the company,
5. Lastly we consider ourselves to be fit, healthy and positive people who always try to see the good in things and practice kindness to all beings. We're also non smoking, light social drinkers, super tidy and organised and above all else - reliable. Once we commit to a sit, we are 100% there for you, the furries, the featheries, the house, the plants and anything else you need looking after.
BONUS FACT: We have over 70 five star written reviews on another major worldwide pet sitting site. This year we will also have up-to-date Australian and UK police clearance certificates.
So that's a little bit about us. If you think we might be right for your sit, we'd be delighted to arrange a whatsapp/zoom call to introduce ourselves and tell you anything else you'd like to know. We're also happy to arrange pre-sit visits to get to know you and the animals beforehand and, of course, we will remain in contact throughout the sit via whatsapp, email or social media.
We hope you think we might be the right couple to care for your pets and home . We really look forward to hearing from you.
warm wishes
Scott and Dianne
