Welcome to the Paws For Walks Tip Page

Hi there, and welcome to the Tips & Advice section of Paws for Walks! I’m so glad you stopped by.

As a dedicated local dog walker and pet sitter in Sydney, I know just how important our furry (and feathered!) family members are to us. Whether you’re a lifelong pet owner or new to the adventure of caring for an animal, there’s always something to learn. My goal with this page is to share practical, real-world advice that makes life easier for you and happier for your pets.

Here you’ll find a growing collection of helpful, researched, and easy-to-follow tips on all things pet care. From preparing your dog for an overnight stay at my place to teaching them fun new tricks, managing anxiety during storms, or even caring for small pets like rabbits and birds—I want this page to be your go-to resource for reliable, friendly advice.

I’ve designed these posts to be simple and actionable. No confusing jargon—just clear steps, local insights, and personal experience from years of caring for dogs, cats, and all kinds of beloved animals. I believe great pet care is all about trust, understanding, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved at all times.

Here’s what you can expect to find on this page:
✔️ Step-by-step guides for teaching your dog basic tricks
✔️ Practical advice for preparing for pet sitting or overnight stays
✔️ Health and safety tips for pets in Sydney’s climate
✔️ Enrichment ideas for dogs, cats, birds, and small animals
✔️ Behaviour tips for shy or anxious pets
✔️ Checklists and how-tos for travel, vet visits, and more

I’ll be regularly adding new posts based on the questions I hear most often from my lovely clients—so if there’s something you’d like me to write about, please let me know!

Caring for your pets is truly my passion. I hope these tips help you feel more confident, prepared, and connected with your best furry friends.

Thanks for visiting—grab a cuppa, have a read, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you want to book a walk, sitting visit, or just chat all things pets.

Your local pet sitter and dog walker,
