About John

Please note: for small to medium dogs only due to my own old Maka ...

I would love to welcome your loved furry ones (small to medium dogs only) to my Inner City Farm Style Oasis for luxury Overnight Staycations, including excursions to local parks or beaches. I just love the company of dogs, they bring an incredible amount of joy to people's lives. I have had dogs in my life now for the past 15 years, mainly cockers and springer spaniels and their friends. I now live with my two Cockers. 

My blue roan cockers is a fun loving playful four-year old. He loves other dogs visiting to play with. His best friend is Rocco, a springer spaniel. Rocco and his brother Jerry often come to play and have sleep overs, or a trip to the Altona Doggy Beach and/or local fenced park in Newport.

My golden cocker is a four year old, who was a rescue doggy, who loves agility training.

We live together in a house which nicknamed "Bluestone City Farm". I have a large backyard and have chickens as well - they are well secured in a large fenced aviary and chicken run. The chickens amuse some dogs, but generally dogs who come to visit are just playing with each other or snoozing in the old bluestone house. There are lots of dog beds for them to choose from as well as the furniture too!

If you're interested in giving your loved pet a luxury staycation with me, then let’s start with one Day Care Session to assess suitability and establish rapport and connection.
