Cuddling up to some friends

Hi, I'm Elizabeth Quinn, the Lonely Pets Club Franchisee for South Melbourne and the surrounding area.

Together with my sister Debra, we were the first to buy a Lonely Pets Club Franchise, which was very exciting. We have enjoyed living in South Melbourne for many years, and share our home with Bono, Coco and Shalimar, our feline family.

I grew up in the Melbourne Bayside suburb of Bentleigh, with my cats, dogs, fish and rabbits, and then moved to Queensland with my family for a short time, only to return to marvellous Melbourne. I moved to South Melbourne in 1983 and love it so much have never left! As a child and into my adult life, I have always been an animal lover, shared my life with either a cat or dog, and always wanted to be involved with animals. I am now living my dream. A wise man once said, 'If you are doing something you love you will never work another day in your life'!

" Elizabeth was wonderful!! Laurie (our little dog) warmed to her immediately on her initial visit which was very reassuring. We've left Laurie with friends before when weve been on holidays although when we returned she seemed quite stressed and sulky. But when we returned after our last trip when she was in Elizabeths care she was completely different when we got home, she was very relaxed, happy and completely stress free! Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful, she kept us updated on Laurie while we were away via text and even sent a couple of photos of her through to us. Elizabeth contacted us when we were back from our holiday to see if we'd arrived home okay which was a very nice touch. We will definately be booking Elizabeth in again to look after Laurie. Many thanks to Liz and Lonely Pets Club!" "

My "pre Lonely Pets Club" working life has been predominately in the Telecommunications Industry, working as Team Manager and Supervisor in the Customer Service and Credit Management areas.


In 2005, I had the pleasure in becoming a part time casual carer for Lonely Pets Club. This was a wonderful opportunity for me to be involved with my passion and love of animals. I continued being part of the LPC team as a casual carer until 2008 when I left my full time job in the Telco and became a full time LPC carer. In March 2009, my sister Debra and I were thrilled to be able to purchase Lonely Pets Club's first ever franchise in South Melbourne.

I currently manage a team of dedicated and animal loving pet carers, to help care for all pets in and around our local area. We take great pride in the service we provide and love meeting and interacting with both pet owners and pets on a daily basis. Having such a dedicated and local pet care team simply means that you will always have a Lonely Pets Club Carer only a phone call away. We will come in and love your pets and walk your dogs when you need us.

I look forward to caring for your beloved pets and would welcome any suggestions on how you think we could improve our service.

" Liz was absolutely lovely! We have had trouble leaving Chester in the past due to not everyone loving guinea pigs but Chester and Liz hit it off immediately. She was in regular contact with us to make sure we knew everything was ok, and used her initiative in caring for him. She made sure he was happy, allowed him to run around the house, gave him cuddles, even providing him with extra treats from her own fridge. We could not have enjoyed our holiday without her wonderful care of Chester. "
