More Than a Service. A Promise of Care.
At Paws in Good Hands, we believe that every pet is an individual with their own story, their own quirks, and their own definition of 'comfort.' We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care.
Our mission is to provide Perth pet owners with a high-trust, boutique alternative to traditional kennels. By matching your pet with the perfect carer in our curated network, we ensure they don’t just 'survive' your absence, they thrive in a calm, familiar, and loving environment. From the first wag of the morning to the final tuck-in at night, we are here to ensure your pet feels safe, understood, and truly at home.
Committed to the Highest Standards
Paws in Good Hands is a proud member of the PIAA (Pet Industry Association of Australia). We don’t just love animals; we are dedicated to the highest standards of animal welfare, professional ethics, and industry best practices. When you choose us, you are choosing a team that is vetted, professional, and committed to excellence in everything we do.
A Vision Born from Love & Trust
Hi, I’m Angela.
My journey into professional pet care didn't start in a boardroom; it started on the footpaths of my own neighbourhood. I spent years looking after friends pets, and I noticed a recurring theme: people were tired of the 'kennel culture.' They wanted their pets to stay in a home, not a cage. They wanted someone who would notice the small things, like the way a dog likes their ears scratched or a cat's favourite hiding spot.
I realised that Perth was missing a truly personal, boutique pet care experience. That’s why I founded Paws in Good Hands. I wanted to build a network of people who share my obsessive commitment to animal welfare and professional ethics.
For me, this isn't just a business, it’s a responsibility. I know that your pets are your world, and my goal is to make sure that while you’re away, their world stays exactly as it should be: safe, settled, and loved.

Leah Henderson
Lead Dog Walker
House & Pet Sitter
I’ve always had a huge love for dogs, and caring for them has always felt like so much more than just a job to me. Through dog walking, overnight stays and caring for dogs with all different personalities and needs, I’ve gained experience and developed a real passion for making sure every dog feels safe, happy and loved.
I feel incredibly grateful to be able to turn something I’m so passionate about into a career. I take great pride in the care I provide and treat every dog as if they were my own. Being able to spend my days doing what I love and building special bonds with so many beautiful dogs is something I’m truly thankful for.

In-Home Boarding/Dog Walker
We're a family who have always had a love for animals.
From a young age, pets have been a big part of our lives, giving us a genuine understanding of the joy, companionship and happiness they bring to a family.
We love welcoming dogs into our home and making them feel like one of the family, with plenty of fun, attention, cuddles and care.
We also enjoy getting out for walks, giving dogs the opportunity to stretch their legs, explore and enjoy a break during the day.
Our aim is simple: to make every dog feel comfortable, happy and cared for, just as they would at home.

Hi, we’re Emma and Stu! We are animal lovers who thrive off the joyful energy a dog brings into a home. Between us we have 6 years pet sitting experience and have always had animals as a huge part of our lives. While we aren't in a position to get our own dog just yet, hosting yours allows us to pour all that extra love and affection into your pet. Because we both work flexible schedules and are home most of the time, your dog will enjoy near-constant companionship, endless snuggles, and regular walks around our great neighborhood. We look forward to the opportunity to care for your pet and provide you with complete peace of mind while you are away.
Nadine MacDonald
House & Pet Sitter/Home Visits/Dog Walker
Hi, I’m Nadine I’ve been looking after animals for over 20 + years and it’s something I genuinely love. We’re a very animal-loving family and have experience with both dogs and cats, including fostering cats and kittens. We have 4 indoor cats and our little 3 year-old mini dachshund, Rocky. We have a fully fenced, secure yard and plenty of space for dogs to play, relax and feel at home. I treat every animal in my care as one of my own and they get lots of love, attention, walks and cuddles. I also do house/pet sitting for animals who are more comfortable staying in their own home. I absolutely love what I do and want every pet I look after to feel safe, happy and loved while their family is away.
Ash Fransson
Home Visits/Dog Walker
Ash has always had a genuine love for animals and has been around dogs since the age of nine. With two dogs at home, aged 13 and 5, caring for animals has always been a big part of Ash’s life. Ash also has several years of pet-sitting experience, caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities, from Shih Tzus and Schnauzers to Labradors, as well as cats.
What Ash loves most is getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable and completely cared for. Understanding that not every animal wants constant attention is really important to Ash, so whether a pet is playful and energetic or quiet and reserved, their boundaries and comfort zones will always be respected. The goal is simple: for every pet to feel safe, understood and truly in good hands. 🐾
