Jodie

Hello, my name is Jodie, nice to meet you all.

I am a part time barber that has been in the industry for 18 years now and I am also a mother to two awesome little humans.

My family and I absolutely adore dogs and have been around them our whole lives. Whenever we look after your dogs we make sure they get all of our attention, are well supervised, have alot of enrichment and have endless affection. We treat them like any other guest we welcome into our home with love and respect. 

Both of my children attend primary school and are both calm, happy and confident around animals and love dogs of all breeds and sizes equally. We welcomed our own puppy into our home in November of 2023, he is a miniature dachshund named Mosh and loves to play with other dogs, he is a pretty chilled little man. 

We have a good sized back yard with high fences and a shaded patio area, but we also love the dogs to be able to feel at home and relax on the couch like anyone else we welcome into our home. 

We live a short walk to a lovely fenced off leash dog park or if your dog prefers not to be around other dogs there are plenty of nice quiet areas around our suburb to take your dog for a peaceful walk. 
We can also take your dogs on beach adventures to sandgate to burn off some energy and have some fun along the water front. 
We have a padding pool and toys for water play for the hot days. 

We can offer basic grooming like giving your dog a bath and administering medicine if needed. 

Throughout your dogs stay with us I always send regular photo updates and I am always available to take phone calls. I can also guarantee that there will be no shortage of cuddles, kisses, treats and belly rubs. We want them to feel happy, safe and welcome each time they visit and for their mums and dads to feel confident that they are receiving the love, care and attention they all deserve. 

Prior to booking please send me some information about your dog, breed, age, any special dietary requirements and anything we can do or provide to ensure they are feeling comfortable and settled. We want them to have the best time during their stay.

***important information***
We require that all dogs are up to date with their vaccines, worming and flea treatment and must arrive bathed. 
Dogs must get along with other dogs as we do have our own dog to care for also. 
Dogs with aggressive behaviour or skittish temperments are non negotiable and all dogs who stay with us must be safe around children.
