About Carmen
I am recently retired from the Travel industry and have had dogs most of my life. My husband and I live in a freestanding house in South Melbourne with our energetic 5 year old Kelpie Banjo. He loves other dogs and having his buddies come and visit. We have a doggy door into a 4m x 5m fully secure courtyard so there is plenty of space to lounge around indoors or outdoors. We walk at least twice a day (approx 1hr each session), rain, hail or shine and have a tight knit dog park group who meet daily. If the weather is nice we also go to the beach for a swim and a dig so your pooch will get plenty of outdoor fun and exercise. I walk mainly in Albert Park off-leash ovals, but happy to keep your dog on lead if preferred. I'm happy to train puppies or take special care of your aging senior! Because we are both retired there is always someone home for company and cuddles. I'll send photos regularly. Happy to work with you for whatever your fur child needs! Prefer dogs who are toilet trained. I would only have 1 dog in addition to Banjo staying overnight unless they are siblings and smallish. Doggy Daycare hours from 8.30-5.30pm (but flexible) 7 days! Overnight stay rate based on 24hr stays.
