CANIne HELP YOU? 

Glen Waverley Home - Dog-Friendly with Secure Backyard with Qualified Vet Nurse.

Hello! We are a loving family of 5, including my brother and mom, who both work from home, ensuring your dogs are never alone. Our beagle named Bagel enjoys the company of other dogs, but we are unable to accommodate puppies or large breeds.



As a veterinary nurse at a specialist clinic, I have a deep passion for animal health and their unique personalities. Your dog's well-being is of utmost importance to us, and we make sure they have a fun and interactive time by going on regular trips to dog parks and trail walks.



Your pup will receive all the affection they deserve, including cuddles and treats. With 17 years of experience in handling, training, and raising dogs, I am also familiar with the care of senior dogs. We understand the pain of losing a beloved pet, as we said goodbye to our 17 year old boy, Sammy on June 13th.

We continue our services to also heal from his loss and enjoy the love we have to give, treating your dogs as our own.

Our services include doggy sleepovers, day care, home visits, and arranged walks. We invite you to arrange a meet and greet to get to know each other better.



What's Included in Our Services:



• Doggy sleepovers and daycare (8 am-5 pm pick-up times)



• Walks twice a day OR trips to the dog park



• Around-the-clock supervision, cuddles, and play indoors and in our secure backyard garden



•Treats like boiled chicken breast and dried liver treats


Home Visits:



• 45-minute stay and play



• Refill of food and water



• Complimentary care for watering plants and taking out garbage



Walks:



• 30-minute walk in the neighborhood or park



What to Pack for Sleepovers:



• Bed: Bring a blanket or clothes with your scent for comfort.



• Food and Treats: Please provide dry/wet food and treats; we avoid sharing food to prevent tummy upsets, but we offer chicken and dried liver treats in moderation.



• Medication: Don't forget to pack any medications with labels of dosages and instructions.



• Favorite Toy!



• Leash, Collar, or Harness



Feel free to message us to arrange a meet and greet. We can't wait to meet you and care for your furry companion like our own!

Unparalleled Care on Short Notice: Maria is a Gem!

When it comes to pet sitters, Maria sets an incredibly high standard. Faced with a surprise cruise aboard the Queen Elizabeth, we urgently required a competent and loving caregiver for our Norwegian Forest cats, Mocha and Charlie. Maria stepped in on short notice and went above and beyond, exceeding even our highest expectations.

Twice daily, Maria impeccably attended to feeding, water bowl refills, and litter maintenance. What sets Maria apart is her willingness to genuinely connect with Mocha and Charlie during these visits. Her responsibilities were executed not as mere tasks, but as heartfelt gestures that underlined her deep affection for animals.

Mocha and Charlie, cautious by nature due to past lockdowns, were quick to sense Maria's kindness. Charlie, initially the braver of the two, became visibly more relaxed and playful under Maria's caring attention. Mocha, always the reserved one, also showed signs of growing comfort as he watched his brother interact positively with Maria.

The crowning touch was the collection of candid photographs Maria sent us. These photos were more than just visual updates; they were assurances of our pets' well-being and happiness in our absence.

We returned from our trip to find not only a perfectly maintained household but also two exceedingly content cats. Maria's care was so exceptional that it felt as though we never left.

Maria has our highest praise and most enthusiastic recommendation. If you want your pets to experience love, comfort, and unparalleled care, especially on short notice, look no further. Maria is not just a pet sitter; she is a guardian angel for your fur family!

I highly recommend Maria for her services. I must admit that I was a bit nervous to get a pet sitter for my 2 dogs as they are not very social and require bit of management. However, she has been really great with them right from the "meet & greet" session and made me feel much more comfortable. She looked after my dogs really well while I was away and they don't seem to have miss me a lot. I would definitely use her services again.
