Teresa owner/operator of Pawz Pet Sitting

Hi, I am Teresa the owner/operator of Pawz Pet Sitting. I started my business after relocating to the Central Coast from Qld several years ago and I chose pet sitting as I wanted to be able to work within an industry where I could use my passion and love for all animals, hence my business Pawz Pet Sitting evolved. I am a crazy animal lover and I just love caring for dogs in my home and also providing daily care visits to other peoples fur babies in their homes and dog walking because there is just something about furry cuddles and wet nose kisses that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and I feel so very lucky to be able to do what I do for a job. I have previoiusly been a volunteer with Peggy's Promise providing flea & tick treatment, worming, micro-chipping, food, dog washing and vet care to pets of those less fortunate than us living on the Central Coast and also a volunteer with CARE for Pets providing support for pets of incapacitated or terminally ill people when they can't. I was awarded the Master Dog Breeders Association pet sitter/dog walker of the year award for 2014 which sits proudly on my desk in my office and constantly reminds me to keep providing the best possible service I can and clearly I must be doing something right. Dogs that stay at our homes enjoy a complete family experience.

I treat each and every pet I care for as if they were my own and each and every one of them has their own individual personality which just makes my job as a pet sitter so much more interesting, fun and rewarding.
Thanks to all of you who choose Pawz Pet Sitting as your preferred carer to care for you pets and who have in turn made us the successful and award winning business we are.

Chris services the Gosford Shire

Hi, I’m Chris Furse. I provide overnight care in your home around the Central Coast and daily care visits for your pets at the bottom end of the Central Coast. I wasn’t allowed to have a dog as a child so now I’m making up for it. I have 2 Keeshonds Ziggy and Savvy. I’ve spent a lot of time looking after other people’s dogs and cats and spent a number of years helping a breeder with her kennel. I also have experience with giving medications. I’m also a graphic designer and have run my own business from home for over 25 years so any dogs that stay with me have full on attention in the house during the day. I also live near the beach so they can enjoy some beach/off leash time too. I’m very happy to be part of this fantastic team and love Teresa’s professionalism. It’s a good fit.

Elena services the Gosford Shire

Hello I'm Elena, originally from Russia-Siberia until I moved to Australia in 2013. I live on the border between Lisarow and Niagara Park with my husband and 7-year-old daughter. During my life I’ve always had different pets in my home, hamsters, parrots, fish, cats and dogs. Since my childhood I was interested in animals and my dream was to become a vet, but I never had the chance to do it. As a carer with Pawz Pet Sitting, this gives me the opportunity to spend more time with the animals I love. Our family has Flash, a cute and very energetic 3 year old Jack Russell and Tenterfield Terrier cross and also a goldfish called Sunny. My family loves to spend time with Flash walking, running, and playing ball with him. I am looking forward to welcoming your dogs into my home and providing daily care visits to pets in your home.

Brigetta services all areas of the Central Coast

Hi I'm Brigetta, I get called Getta (Jetta) for short. I have grown up on the Central Coast in Terrigal and I work in the construction industry. I have two ragdoll cats, Henry and Missy. Henry is 7 years old and he loves his cuddles, Miss is 6 1/2 years old and a bit more independent but still loves a cuddle and she also loves her food! I love how animals all have their own unique personalities. We have always had animals growing up, and I love the joy they bring and their gentle nature. I have provided pet sitting previously and love being able to care for such an important part of the family while people are away, so that the pet owners minds are at ease knowing that their fur babies are being well looked over. I am looking forward to providing in-home overnight care in clients homes as well as visiting pets at clients homes when required.

Julie services all areas of the Central Coast

Hi, I'm Julie, I live at Chittaway Bay and I'm new to Pawz Pet Sitting Service and I'm so excited to be joining the team. I was lucky enough to meet Teresa through a mutual friend, on a weekend away last year. I immediately connected with Teresa and we have stayed in touch ever since. I have lived on the Central Coast for 34 years since relocating from Sydney (where I grew up). I am a mother of 3 adult daughters and also "nanny" (as my girls refer to me) to our 2 rescue fur kitties Hughy and Harper. I have always had pets growing up and this is where my love for animals started. My first being a beautiful Lab/Golden Retriever named Prince. After Prince we had smaller dogs, Shihtzu/Maltese and cats, as well as birds and guinea pigs. I have previously house sat for friends' pets while they were away and they know me as Auntie Julie. I actually think I have more pet friends than human friends these days. I'm looking forward to meeting more furry friends and excited to be able to provide in-home overnight pet sitting at clients homes and also daily care visits.

Fiona services Lake Macquarie and Newcastle

Hi I’m Fiona, I provide in home pet-sitting and daily care visits to clients in Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, Central Coast and Sydney. I have had pets in my life from the time I was 3 years old, the most recent furry resident being Bowie the labradoodle, who is just as much of a rock star as his name sake. I specialize in caring for dogs that are nervous or have separation anxiety. I’m a fan of celebrity dog trainer Victoria Stillwell and have aspired since high school to likewise become an obedience trainer, the instructor at Bowie’s puppy preschool told me I have a knack for it. I believe there’s no such thing as a ‘bad’ dog, just over-enthusiastic pups who don’t understand what is expected of them and need to learn boundaries so they can best fit in with their human family. Alongside pet-sitting I work as a freelance graphic artist and illustrator, selling custom pet portraits and making cards to raise funds for charities like RSPCA and Hunter Animal Rescue.

Tilly aka "Princess Tilly"

Tilly is a long haired chihuahua and she doesn't have a lot of the typical chihuahua traits, but she is fiercely protective of her food, her house and sometimes her toys. She is very social and gets along well with the dogs we have coming to our home to visit, she initially puffs out her chest (so to speak) and barks and tries to let them know that she is the boss, but really she's a very timid, soft natured and friendly little girl. Tilly loves burrowing under her blanket, or anything really when she is on the couch and she loves her toys. Tilly is the perfect fit for our family.
