A quick note, I absolutely adore dogs. My friends and family can vouch for me when I say that I cannot walk past a dog on the street without stopping to ask the owner if I can give it a pat! Me in a nutshell: I am energetic, creative and a forward thinker. I fill my spare time with soccer, running and teaching my dog, Raphael, new tricks. I highly regard obedience training and after moving up to an advanced level of training with Raphael, I used the training techniques to teach him other manoeuvres at home. Being a self starter, I have a proactive approach to any jobs that need to be completed. Building relationships and making connections with people (and animals) has bought a sense of fulfilment to my life. Over the years I have surrounded myself with a number of different breeds and ages, happily house/pooch sitting, around Brisbane. Understanding characteristics of different breeds and their behaviours has become important in being able to offer this service. As well as the daily requirements each dog needed, regular communication with pet owners was expected, particularly if any issues occurred.
