I'm Bel, a proud single mum to my wonderful 10 year old son, Koa (who we call the dog whisperer) We share our home with Shadow our 4-year old Border Collie and Puss, our wise 11 year old cat who has spent years tolerating canine companions.

I grew up on a farm and have cared for animals big and small my entire life. Dogs have always been a part of our family and Koa has never known life without his furry best friend by his side. We are of the opinion that pets aren't just animals, they are family.

Koa and I live in a cosy, fully fenced home with plenty of space for play, exploring and relaxing. Shadow loves having friends to run around with and we are lucky to have a safe and secure, fully fenced dog park right behind our home.

Our daily routine includes walking to and from school, covering around 2.5kms each trip, so your poochy will enjoy regular exercise, fresh air and plenty of enrichment. During the warmer months, we love heading to the beach for swims and sandy runs.

Your poochy will be welcomed with open arms and treated as part of the family. They are welcome both inside and outside, have access to a doggy door for freedom to come and go, and can sleep wherever they feel most comfortable, whether on a doggy bed in the bedrooms (on Koa's bed) or lounge room.

I work from home, so your poochy will rarely be left alone. Whether they enjoy company, need regular attention or just like having people around, there will always be someone here to provide companionship, cuddles, supervision and care throughout the day.

Our home is full of love, fun and wagging tales and we'd be delighted to welcome your furry family member into it while you're away.
