About Louise

Welcome to RIDGEVIEW RETREAT. A true Doggie Oasis! Fully Fenced Acreage for Safety & Security.  We are always home with your Doggie too. 24/7.  Fully Supervised ALL DAY & NIGHT.

We absolutely adore dogs - big dogs, little dogs, all dogs! Little dogs that act like big dogs ...... & big dogs that think they're little dogs .. hee hee.

We are a mature aged professional couple and both have had dogs since our childhood. There's truly something special between the bond of a 'Dog and its Owner'. Or should I say .. a Balanced Dog and its Owner. With Love and Respect this can .....and will be .... achieved.

We have been minding dogs for well over 12 years now. We absolutely are very blessed to be able to do what we do with our own dogs, as well as our furry guests. 

We truly Love Dogs, but also Respect Dogs and give them what they actually Need.. beyond love, cuddles and affection. We give them that PLUS ....... we actually allow the Dog to actually just be a Dog! We offer STRUCTURED Supervised Socialisation to allow this to occur safely.

We are Professional Dog Minding Specialists & Pack Walk Specialists, and we use our skills so that we can have all the Big Dogs and Little Dogs all mixing together in our OPEN KENNEL ENVIRONMENT safely and securely. 

We're very proud of our ability to achieve this and that's what MAKES US STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD!

We have access to nearly 2 acres FULLY FENCED property - 12 mins to Robina, 6 mins to M1. We do daily hikes around the Bonogin Hills & our motto is "a Tired Dog is a HAPPY Dog!" Social interaction & play are also top priorities. We have 3 fully fenced grassed yards (1.6m high with s/steel mesh fencing on bottom at a minimum, and the largest is 1.8m high), as well as a large undercover alfresco area and a huge pool and entertainment area - so in all 4 separate yards - which can all be connected, or all kept separated. But we advocate the socialisation with both large and small dogs (fully supervised) in our 'open kennel' environment. We have the dogs play all day together with no limitations to their Socialisation.

Dogs MUST be comfortable around other dogs, off lead. Depending on size, age and fitness we would gladly take your furry baby on our pack walks, and we advocate the use of positive reinforcement for training and managing behaviours. When staying for an Overnight Stay, or Doggy Daycare, the walks are INCLUDED in the fee.

We advocate positive training techniques to keep our own pooches & guests, calm and harmonious whilst in our care. We sometimes use Backpacks (in the cooler months only) & always use our Dog Walking Leads (we supply these nationally to Dog Training Professionals) when we walk all the pooches. I have a Certificate IV in Dog Psychology and Behavioural Science, am a member of the PPGA, have Certificate IV Dog Behaviour Certificate, an RSPCA Dog Minding (Pet Sitting) Certificate, NDTF certified, as well as a Police Background Check Clearance also.

We also offer Doggy Daycare on MONDAYS to FRIDAYS with fully supervised socialisation and pool playtime too. Pack Walks are included too (and completed on most days - weather dependent). Please note that spaces are limited, so book ahead to guarantee your furry baby being spoilt by Ridgeview Retreat and give you complete peace of mind whilst you are away. If you would like your beloved pooch to stay and sleep indoors .. not a problem .. but they MUST be able to house trained,  or crate trained (byo crate).
