Hi! 

I’ve always loved dogs and grew up around them. Since moving to Melbourne, I’ve really missed my own dogs back home, so I’d love to spend time with yours! ️

I’ve looked after Golden Retrievers, a Chow Chow, a Husky￼, an American Akita, a Bichon Frise–Maltese mix, and a Micro American Bully, so I’m comfortable with different breeds and personalities.

I’m currently working from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve. Whether it’s playing fetch , tug-of-war, going for walks , or simply relaxing with lots of pats and belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.

I offer dog boarding, doggy day care, and dog walking. I always do my best to follow your dog’s routine, so they feel as comfortable as possible.

I currently accept vaccinated small to medium-sized dogs only.

Dog Boarding: 
Meals (provided by you)
Fresh water
Non-injectable medication if needed
Daily walks
Lots of playtime, attention, and cuddles

Doggy Day Care:
Meals (provided by you)
Fresh water
Playtime, walks, and plenty of company throughout the day

Dog Walking:
Whether your pup loves a slow sniff around the neighbourhood or a more energetic walk, I’m happy to tailor each walk to their pace and personality. 

I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! 

Hi! I'm Lily a pet lover since I was a kid :D your pets will be like my own. They are allowed to be everywhere they want! :) even if they are happy sleeping with me I would be more than happy &nbsp;
I'm a pet sitter since I came to Australia, so more than 3 years ago. I was doing this also in Townsville &amp; Brisbane when I was living there for a short time.&nbsp;
If you have a dog, we will go for a walk three times per day or maybe more if the weather is good! I love going with them to the beach or just going for a coffe. I love giving them cuddles &amp; a lot of love! I know most of dogs feel sad or anxious for being in a new environment so I really support them with all my heart to make them feel better, loved &amp; spoiled 
I just want to share my life with more beautiful fur babies ️ They make my life better &amp; give me back so much love, happiness &amp; sometimes craziness hehe&nbsp;


The Ultimate Dog Sitting Crew

Hey there! We’re Doug, Stacey, Ollie, and Noah, a fun-loving family living in the heart of Melbourne, and we’re on a mission to fill our hearts with wagging tails and puppy love again! After saying goodbye to our cheeky British Bulldog, George, we realized how much we miss those snuggles, his playful antics, and his never-ending energy. So, we thought – why not bring the love back by dog sitting? 

We’re a family of animal lovers who lead an active lifestyle. Doug and Stacey work in healthcare, Ollie and Noah go to school nearby, and we’re all about outdoor adventures on the weekends. Whether it’s frolicking at dog-friendly parks, splashing around at the beach, or grabbing a pup-friendly coffee at local cafés – we’re ready to welcome your dog to our world of fun!

Our home is a spacious townhouse with a medium fully fenced backyard perfect for lounging in the sun after a long walk. We live a short stroll away from dog parks, and we’re just a quick drive from a bunch of awesome beaches where dogs are welcome to run wild and free. 

Your dog will get two daily walks (minimum 1 hour each), lots of time for fun, play, and family cuddles, and will be spoiled with attention by Ollie and Noah, who love animals as much as we do. It’s all about keeping your dog active, happy, and part of the family while you're away!

If you want your dog to have a tail-wagging good time with a family that knows how to have fun, we’d love to hear from you! Let’s make your dog’s stay one to remember. 

I'm a former boxer dog owner and love looking after big dogs especially (most especially boxers, retrievers and collies!). Have also looked after many small dogs, cats, chickens and ducks, all of whom I love so much!!
I'm very responsible and caring and love all animals. I have a car that doesn't mind a dog or two, and though I'd absolutely love a dog of my own, I travel frequently, so I love looking after others' dogs instead with the help of my wonderful husband, Josh.&nbsp;
We have been travelling for a year, so we've packed up our house in Richmond, Melbourne into storage I have put our daily rate for housesitting down to the minimum possible ($25 per day) for this period as we are happy to look after your pets in exchange for accommodation.
I work from home, so can keep your pets company during the day and will take them for walks daily. We prefer housesits of 1 week or more.
We'll treat your pets like a king/queen, and know how scary it is to have someone else take care of your pets. We're happy to send you photo updates and keep in touch by text as much as you like.&nbsp;
We've looked after boxers, retrievers, staffies, border collies, great danes, brittanys, poodles, grey hounds, kelpies, labs, cats, chickens and ducks, and have a few regular dogs and cars that we love to look after.

Hi!I’m Sarah, originally from Ireland and now living in the St Kilda area. I grew up on a farm, so animals were always a huge part of my life, and I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember. Being around dogs just feels like home to me.
Since moving here, I’ve really missed having a dog around and thought dog walking and sitting would be a lovely way to fill that gap while also helping local dog owners. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities — whether they love long beach walks, playtime, or just pottering around and keeping me company.
I’m very reliable, caring, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection and is treated like one of my own.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to know more about me — I’d love to hear from you 

Hello, my name is Aisling. I am a primary school teacher from Ireland. This is my sixth year teaching. I moved to Melbourne in September 2024 and am missing my two doggies, Poppy and Lyra so much. In 2020 my dog Poppy had 6 puppies which was very exciting. We kept one of the puppies which I was delighted about. It was amazing seeing a puppy grow from birth to adulthood. I love animals in general but have a soft spot for dogs. I love getting to know their personalities and spending time playing with them. I find rubbing a dog so therapeutic and love the unconditional love that they show to humans. I miss walking my dogs at home and therefore would like to help you care for your dog. At the moment I am available during the day and evening over the 2 weeks of holidays for end of term. 
Please drop me a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can   

Hi! I’m a 24-year-old educator. I grew up on a farm in Germany surrounded by animals, especially dogs. My family had Border Collies and Jack Russells, so I’m very familiar with both energetic working breeds and lively small dogs. Caring for them from a young age taught me patience, confidence, and a deep understanding of dog behaviour.
I offer reliable and personalised dog walking and pet care. Each walk is tailored to your dog’s personality, energy level, and needs, as well as the area we can explore and your goals as an owner. For energetic dogs, I provide structured exercise like brisk walks, jogs, or fetch sessions to help burn off energy safely. For shy or sensitive dogs, I focus on calm, gentle walks and positive reinforcement to build confidence. I also include mental stimulation, socialisation when appropriate, and plenty of attention and affection.
Safety is always my top priority. I use secure leash handling, choose safe routes, and stay aware of my surroundings at all times. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs (max 2) if needed, and I adapt to any special care requirements, such as administering medication or following specific routines.
I love spending time with dogs because they bring joy, energy, and companionship into everyday life. Being able to care for them and help them thrive is incredibly rewarding for me. Every walk is individual, and I make sure your dog comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for.
The Dog walking and pet sitting is more like a "Hobby" the a Job for me. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals:)
