History

Established in 2014.

I have just launched Paws & Claws here in Melbourne after moving here from the UK (where I also ran my own pet sitting business for years) last October. I have always had a passion for animals and consider it a privilege and a joy to work with them.

A few years ago our family socialised ‘Hearing Dogs for the Deaf’, a UK charity which helped hard of hearing people live their lives independently with the help of a furry friend! We had 15 dogs live with us over the years (some stayed for up to a year) and it never got any easier to say goodbye to them. But it was rewarding knowing that they may one day go on to change someone’s life. Pet sitting is a dream job for me and I get such satisfaction from looking after all the animals and making sure they are happy, safe and looked after :-)

Before I was able to work her in Australia I volunteered at a local animal shelter (AAPS Keyesborough) which was so rewarding and a great experience. Seeing pets getting a second chance in life is great!
