Hi, my name is Joolz. Born in the UK and having lived in the USA, I now live in Perth. At present, I have three "fur" kids, Monty and Treacle the cats that I brought with me from Florida to Perth and Jackson the dog plus a dozen goldfish that I inherited three houses ago and have moved with me ever since!
When I was young we had two dogs and over the years I have regularly looked after friends and family's critters whilst they were away and enjoyed having time-share pets. Then a friend had to return to England and asked me to re-home her cat, I took her in on a temporary basis and a love affair was born! Since then my brood has grown steadily and I would love to have some chooks in the future!
Let me introduce you to my pets:
Monty is a male black and white cat who was a stray. He is quite small for a boy but makes up for it with a MASSIVE personality. He is quite a nutcase and keeps us in stitches with his escapades.
Treacle is a female tortoiseshell cat who was also a stray. We took her in as a kitten to keep Monty company and out of mischief but that hasn't worked! Like her name suggests, she is very sweet and loves a cuddle.
Jackson is our latest addition, a lab/staffy cross puppy who just loves to be the centre of attention. He adores kids and other dogs, has a permanently wagging tail and bags of energy.
Hi I’m Sharon, I am a Perth raised girl and have been married for 13 years, we have two young children and live in the Joondalup area. I have had experience with animals both owning them and studying for my veterinary nurse certificate.
I have had a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Bart who sadly passed away from old-age 2 years ago at the ripe old age of 15 and a Tortoise-shell cat named Misty who passed away also last year at the age of 16, both were our surrogate children before we had 'actual' children, and very sadly missed, however have replaced with two long-haired mice named Monster & Caramel (at the request of my kids!). However we have just discovered that putting two male mice together is not a good idea as they get into little 'mice fights' and hubbie has had to put in a 'second-floor extension' in their mouse house to separate them until they play nicely together. I love working with animals and treat all my clients pets as I would my own.
Hi, this is Tina. My family and I have moved to beautiful Yanchep end of 2008.
My husband and I migrated to Australia in 2004 from Germany. 5 minutes apart on a separate flight were our two cats "Fluffy and Timba" awaiting their 30 days quarantine, and who have been enjoying the Australian sun since. We have added two non-furry kids Caitlyn and Tyler, who together with our 3-year old King Charles-Spaniel-Cross "Muddy", occasional rabbit and bird bush babies (the naughty cats...) plus the fish tank are keeping us busy and happy.
I would love to take care of your pets and home just like a good friend or neighbour, who we migrants and new local residents often don't have a relation to yet. Especially up here in "Sun Pet City" we might not want to make our friends travel far once or twice a day.
Looking very much forward to meeting you and your furry/feathered/fishy family members!
Hi, I'm Tracy. I live in the Hillarys area with my partner Mike and our 3 beautiful children. I own a black Labrador cross Staffy puppy who is bursting with energy. He's a loving dog who wants to be everyone's friend.
When I was growing up I was always surrounded by animals. I owned a red heeler dog named "Cassie" who was a loyal and loving dog. She loved playing ball and would happily play it all day long. I also owned a beautiful black cat named "Sam" who was very timid and would hide whenever he heard the rubbish truck. I had 2 cheeky guinea pigs named "Clare" and "Cindy" who had the run of the backyard and got on famously with our cat and dog. I have also owned budgies and goldfish but unfortunately the cat also liked the goldfish and they didn't stay with us for very long!
Well, that's about it about my pets. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your pets.
Hi, my name is Siobhán. I'm Irish and have been in Perth since April '11.
I currently live in Beldon with my partner and our Beagle, 'Oakley'. He is a typical beagle in the way that his world revolves around sniffing everything and food. Although I am aware that he is quite mellow for a beagle. He is 7 months old and a little softie.
Back in Ireland, we have two boxers, 'Spud' and 'Monty'. Spud is white with a brown patch over her eye and she is 4 years old while Monty is brown with and black face and he is 2 years old. We hope to move them over here as soon as we are missing them dearly. Before I came here I also had a rabbit named 'Hamish' who was an indoor rabbit and whenever I would come home, you could find him anywhere around the house from in the bedroom to on the sofa in the living room. He is now living with my mother who couldn't bear to let him go.
I was raised always being around animals and have had plenty of experience with them. I have been a shift leader/senior animal attendant at a boarding kennels/cattery and volunteered at numerous animal shelters. I am also qualified in 'Animal Welfare' so there is no doubt that your much loved pet will be in good hands with me while you relax and enjoy your holiday.
Hello! I am Sara. Born and raised in Yorkshire but have lived in many places the last being the Netherlands. My family & I moved to Perth in 2007.
One of my passions in life has been that of caring for animals. When I was in my young teens an Irish Setter by the name of "Cher" wandered into our back garden. I was trusted to walk and care for her as if she were my own( thanks to the owners). The only pets I was permitted to have were 2 budgies, "Kimi & Katie"
I finally had the chance to get my own dog after waiting years! A beauty of a border collie called Jess. Jessa's parents were working dogs on a farm in Carlisle, Jess however is scared of sheep but prefers to herd "ducks" instead.
I have worked voluntarily in a local vet's in Holland and enjoyed the experience.
Why Perth Pet Pals? The love of animals. To be able to care for animals and to assist the owners with their pets well-being as if they were my own.
Hi, I'm Leah
I live in Clarkson and am married with three kids and have a gorgeous Labradoodle named Lulu that we re-homed from the RSPCA. In the past I have owned many dogs and have loved all animals since I was young. As a flight attendant I have spent a lot of time travelling and working around the world but when it was time to settle my family and I moved to Perth from Adelaide 2 years ago and have loved it here. I speak several languages and have studied psychology - maybe I can tell you what your pet is thinking! I am happy to take care of your pets if you are going away or maybe your pooch would like a walk during the day whilst you are at work? I look forward to being your pet's new best pal!
