Hi there,
[My apologies, currently not able to have dogs at my home due to my own dog's injury! Apologies for any inconvenience]
**Now offering basic training!**
I am a calm and loving dog sitter and dog walker, with a relaxed and safe home to match. I have experience with dogs up to about 25 kg, and experience with rescue dogs, that may require time and patience. My own dog is a rescue, so I understand very well that some dogs just need time, and to adjust to new situations on their terms. I am a confident but quiet leader for all dogs.
I live in a spacious one bedroom, with a beautiful sun-soaked courtyard space, which is a favourite hang-out spot for our small dog, Crash Bandicoot. Crash usually does well with fur visitors, and enjoys having one to show around, do zoomies with, or laze about with. Crash is a polite dog, and will not overwhelm his visitor. Though there is the occasional dog that he falls madly in love with...
There are nice parks nearby where I live, and I'm happy to take your special little one for a run around. I usually have Crash out for more than an hour a day.
Aside from Crash, I have years of experience working with thoroughbred horses. My approach is gentle and very loving, but I also believe in setting boundaries. Crash sits before he crosses roads and I'm happy to do the same with your pup if you'd like. I am happy to train your dog with positive training methods in the way I was taught to train Crash: to sit, lie down, high 5, jump up and down, and "touch".
I would love to meet your dog!

Both my puppies and I highly recommend Gillian as your pet sitter. All though things didn’t quite go to plan with all of our babies getting along, Gillian came up a with perfect solution and remained in constant control until we had returned from overseas. I’m beyond thankful and impressed with the overall experience and care that had been provided for my puppies.
Gill was very frendily and communicated well with pics every day while she visited our cat. Would recommend her to anyone!
