We have the perfect home for a dog or two who like to run and play. We have a big block with lots of grass and gardens to explore, and a large undercover deck for them to laze about.

Our home comes with two playful dogs to keep yours company:
• Mia is our two-year-old Labrador x Staffy. She is submissive, very obedient, likes being around other dogs, but can be a bit of a coward around big male dogs until she gets used to them.
• Buddy is a five-year-old miniature fox terrior. He is far more boisterous, craves attention 24/7, loves to play, and likes to think he is the boss.
Our two dogs LOVE TO PLAY! Whether your dog loves to chase or be chased, or better yet, a friendly wrestle, then this is the house for them.
When we’re home, dogs are allowed everywhere (except the bedrooms) and get heaps of cuddles and attention. If you don’t want your dog to know the joy of curling up on the sofa, then this may not be the house for them :)
We are home all day 2-3 days per week. When we're both working, there is typically only 6-8hrs when there is no one home.
We’re sure all our dogs will get along fine (our two are used to new dogs coming and going), but in case they don’t, we have a backup family member nearby who can take our two dogs at a moment’s notice, so no need to worry.
We take the dogs to off leash dog parks as much as possible (we have quite a few nearby), but our property is big enough that it is not necessary, so if you wish for your dog to stay secure at our house, then that is no problem. Likewise, if you want them to always stay on the lead, that's no problem either!
FYI we have a couple of booking limitations: (1) We don't accept dogs younger than 12 months (for the destructive chewing), (2) Male dogs will only be accepted if they have been desexed, and (3) Minimum 3 nights for new bookings (repeat visits can be shorter)
We are both experienced pet owners and dog adorers, and we hope to meet yours soon.
Please note that surcharge exists for long weekends ($5 per night), and Christmas week and NYE ($10 per night).
Brad and Lisbeth were fantastic sitters! Great communication and both our dogs adored them. Would highly recommend!
Thank you for taking care of my furbabies on short notice. Your friendliness and beautiful home was very reassuring to me that Bella and Bodak were in good hands! Hope to see you again in the future!
Many years of dog ownership experience (small, medium and large breeds).
