Welcome to Playmates Pet Care! Playmates Pet Care was established by myself, Paris, in late 2022 to assist in supporting a high quality, healthy lifestyle for the pets (dogs, cats & rabbits) in Richmond & surrounding suburbs.
After a career of over 10 years within the animal industry & training my own reactive/sensitive dog, I was keen to do what I love most as an individual pet care freelancer, and to specialise in pet care for reactive/anxious dogs & cats.
I offer Dog walking, Walk & train’s, Training/enrichment visits & In-home feeding/medicating/enrichment visits.
As a lifelong, avid animal lover, I have a genuine love and passion for providing attentive, authentic & reliable pet care. My natural affinity with animals is a true gift I’m so glad to share. I build special connections with all the animals in my care & gain great fulfilment creating engaging/fun experiences for each individual breed. With a focus on animal enrichment, stimulation and training- my focus is to consistently deliver holistic, personalised pet care services.
Having a busy career as a veterinary nurse for a number of years & working in catteries, pet stores, horse stables and dog daycares as a behaviour assessor- it’s assured that all animals in my care are in experienced & safe hands.
I have completed a certification in Dog Psychology, Behaviour & Training, which complements the hands on experience I have had over 9+ years with dogs of all kinds. My force-free methods have been successful with both my own & clients dogs (dog/human reactive & non-reactive).
I’m lucky to have my partner David assist with dog walks & companion walks with our rescue kelpie cross, Bronson- they are both so well-loved by all the dogs part of the PMPC pack!
Like us, our pets require a physical and mental workout every day to remain physically, emotionally and mentally healthy. They can also become bored/lonely, which can lead to destructive/unwanted behaviours if not provided with a healthy outlet - that’s where Playmates comes in!
Playmates Pet Care provides a fun, familiar & stimulating routine for your best friend whenever you’re unable too - I custom my services to suit your pet and their specific needs so they are always having a positive, exciting & engaging experience.
Your dog or cat isn’t suited to Boarding, Group walks, Daycares or Catteries? Playmates Pet Care can assist to maintain your pets care from the comfort of their own home!
If you’re interested in giving your pets a quality, meaningful life where they have consistent routine, stimulation & entertainment while you’re at work/on holiday with a familiar pet carer, I’d love to hear from you. Playmates services are really beneficial to pets mental & physical health and will be personalised to them.
I would love the chance to meet the individual needs of your pet when you aren’t around too, and give the same amount of love and care as I would my own - that’s my promise to you & your furkids!
