I have been an animal lover my whole life and love meeting new pups, cats, horses, birds, rabbits, you name it! I have had pets from the moment I could walk and love to wake up to a cuddle and a play. I currently have a cat (Nala) and a dog (Bonnie) who are a little spoiled and honestly loved more than my own human family.

I am currently studying a Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Science and aspire to be a vet in the future. A career in animal welfare is my dream and working at Camp Paws is the first step. Caring for animals brings me such joy and I would love to get to know you and your pets!

Brooke with her German Shepherd, Lily

My name is Brooke, 2 years ago I got a German Shepherd puppy and my life completely changed. Over the last 2 years I have immersed myself in the dog world, working with trainers, listening to podcasts day and night and reading about dog psychology, and learning what it takes to be the best pawrent I can be!

6 months ago I decided to quit my full time employment and throw myself into the deep end into the canine world. My passion is helping dogs and their families live harmoniously and happily together every single day.

My services include; Dog walking, House visits, and puppy training in the Wallan, Kilmore, Whittlesea, and Doreen area.

I have extensive experience with horses, dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, goats, alpacas and turtles.

Horses are my passion with 2 of my own and my Certificate II in Equine Studies.

Ben with his fur babies Lola and Coco

Ben with Lola and CocoI live with my wife Danielle and our fur babies Lola (spoodle) and Coco (poodle), and together we would love to walk and care for your pets whilst you are away.

A few years ago Danielle and I discovered Camp Paws as pet owners who were in need of support for our girls and just loved the service provided. The team took exceptional care of our girls and now we are thrilled to be a part of the fantastic CP family.

We have lived in Diamond Creek for 6 years and I love taking Lola and Coco for their daily walks or to the park or an oval to socialise with other people and meet their dogs. I also love sport, reading, entertaining friends and family and travelling when we can. I hope to work full time with Camp Paws in the future. I am available to care for your pup in my home and I also walk many pups whilst their humans are at work or away on holiday. I hope to see you and your fur babies soon. 

 

Amitie with two of her best buddies 

Amitie with two of her best buddiesMy name is Amitie, a VCE student and chronic animal lover. My love of animals saw me volunteer at Animal Aid’s boarding facilities for a year and a half. There I interacted with a huge variety of personalities, behaviours and needs (of the animals, mind you).

I was born into a family with dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits and have babysat for reptiles. I cannot imagine a life without animals. I believe every pet is unique and I can’t wait to get to know your fur, feather, scaley baby. Rest assured they will be well loved.

 

Angela and Ned the donkey

Angela and Ned the donkeyHi, my name is Angela and I have been pet sitting for over 20 years. Mostly in Melbourne and Sydney and when I lived overseas, I was pet and  house sitting in the UK Canada and Cyprus.

I have always been considered reliable and trustworthy and I enjoy being with animals for a number of reasons. I like seeing a dog run, jump, swim, sniff out anything ‘interesting’. A cat has the ability to climb, leap and run with incredible agility. Animals are inquisitive and very trusting and I like that about them. I am happy when they trust me as I feel they sense a ‘camaraderie’. That’s an excellent sign.  I look forward to building that friendship with your pets at Camp Paws!

 

 

Bev and her gorgeous BellaBev with Bella

Hi, I'm Bev and this is my 3yr Black lab Bella. Originally from the UK, my husband and I, along with Bella, have recently moved to Melbourne from NZ.

We both love animals and have owned many pets over 25 yrs, but mostly dogs and cats.

Whilst in the UK, I worked for Labrador Rescue South East and once in NZ I volunteered at Dogwatch Sanctuary Trust in Christchurch, which I loved. There were lots of sad stories when families had to give their pets up for adoption, but it was reassuring to see these wonderful pups eventually find their forever homes.

I’m really happy to have joined Camp Paws and am available to care for your pets in your home whilst you are away. I can also take small/ medium pups for walks and facilitate drop in visits for smaller pets such as cats, birds and reptiles.

I offer dog walking, home visits and I also care for smaller pups in my home. I’d love to help you by caring for your pets whilst you’re away.

I look forward to meeting you soon.

Jen with her feline friend Winston

Jen and WinstonHello, my name is Jenny. I've had a deep love and appreciation of animals all of my life. I've handled animals of many types including dogs, cats and birds and have enjoyed looking after many friend's animals over the years. I will look after your pet(s), as I look after my own - with kindness and lots of love, ensuring that they feel safe, happy and comfortable in their surrounds.

I'm very conscious of individual personalities be that timid or confident and adapt my approach to them accordingly. I'm very comfortable providing required medications and have a cat of my own who is diabetic. Your pet(s) will be kept indoors overnight and be able to wander around the big backyard at their leisure during the day.

I provide sleepovers, day care and home visits. I do hope to meet you and your pet(s), in the near future.

Hi, I’m Kim and my husband Pete, toddler and King Charles Cavalier, live in Kilsyth South. Sam (our KC Cavalier) loves a snuggle, and a walk. He is also very used to having doggy friends holiday with us. He has a good balance of playing with his guests and also letting them have their own space when needed.

Jasper (our toddler) is very used to dogs visiting and he loves them. We never leave the dogs unsupervised with Jasper.

We have a well enclosed backyard and a dog door so the dogs can go in and out at any time that we are at home. My husband works from home 2 days a week and I work part time, so someone is hone a lot of the time!

I look forward to caring for your pets!

 

Maria with one of her house guests

Maria with one of her house guestsHi, I'm Maria and I love animals. I have been fortunate to have had various dogs and cats as companions throughout my life. Though I currently don't have any pets of my own, I can't resist patting every dog that crosses my path and often care for friends pets. I work independently offering occasional consulting services, which means I spend most of time at home. 

I love being part of the Hurstbridge community and I enjoy the walking trails, parks and activities the area offers. I would love to take your dog on these adventures. 

My townhouse has a fully fenced backyard and a large balcony, providing a safe and spacious environment for pets. The social area is also a good size giving plenty of room for pets to roam and play. 

I offer sleepovers, dog walks, doggy day care and home visits. I'm happy to discuss your specific needs and tailor my services to suit you and your pet.
