fear free pet care services - dog walking, pet sitting and pet care

Do you need a reliable, caring someone to care for your animals when you are away?
Is life too busy and you are just not able to give your dog the walk they want?
Are your cats needing some enrichment and interaction when you are at work? Then I can help.

I currently operate pet sitting and dog walking within Bacchus Marsh, Ballan, Ballarat (no travel costs involved). If you are not from these areas, please contact me to see if we cater a service that meets your pet’s needs.

  • PET SITTING; I will visit your home to care for your pets, feeding, cleaning, playing or walking your pet and making sure everyone is healthy.  Daily updates and photos will be sent to ease your mind.

    A 30-minute visit will allow me to feed and water your pet, clean up and play with them and costs $35. Split this into two 15-minute visits.

    $55 for an hour which can be spilt into two 30-minute visits if this suits your pets need.

    Extended stays and overnights can be arranged during June until September every year. We do not have the insurance or permits to house your pets within our homes.

    Speak with us to discuss and organise a pet sitting plan that suits your pet’s needs.

  • PET WALKING + ENRICHMENT; I will come to your home and spend time with your pets to walk, play or create enrichment activities for them - $30 for a 30-minute session or $45 for a 60-minute session.

I will arrange a no cost meet and greet session with you and your pet that will enable us to discuss which services you require. A pet care agreement document will be provided that outlines the agreed service plan.

Testimonials

“I highly recommend Jenny from Happy Dot Pet Services, she has helped me with my girl Daisy. Every day Daisy waits in the hallway staring at the door excitedly waiting for Jenny to come and take her out on her next adventure. Daisy does have anxiety and get overwhelmed easily, she chases cars, bikes, birds and has good days and bad days. Jenny has helped Daisy improve her behaviour with desensitisation techniques, I’ve noticed a huge difference in her just being able to settle. Jenny is Fear Free Certified and uses Positive Reinforcement, enrichment and also just lets Daisy be Daisy, a quirky, crazy, energetic young lady.” - Bonnie

“Jenny took care of my cats , Cougar and Summer whilst I was interstate for a week. I recommend Jenny highly for the time, care and daily feedback via texts. My trust I put on Jenny with caring for my cats in their and my own home is cemented for future caring whilst I’m away. From myself, Cougar and Summer, we thank you Jenny'“ - Brett

I have committed to being an advocate for the physical and emotional wellbeing of animals in my care and have learnt how to practice a considerate approach, Gentle Control and use of a touch gradient to all animals that I will care for. I understand the fear, anxiety and stress (FAS) scale that animals can experience during times when their owners are away and will do my best to follow reward-based methods and positive reinforcement in my interactions with animals I care for.
