About Minh

Welcome!

I'm 100% committed to giving your dog the same love and attention that I give to my own dog, Mr. Jax!

Home Visits - *** specialising in puppies and dogs with special needs ***

My home visits are totally specialised to you and your pet's needs which I will know precisely from our initial meeting. I aim to deliver exceptional value and ensure your pet and all your requirements are looked after.

Home visits are scheduled on days where I'm not committed to my day stay clients.

It goes without saying, these are the basic things that do as part of my visit:

  • I'll make sure your pet has food/water, is comfortable, gets some cuddle/play time
  • For dogs, we can go for a walk around the block
  • Other things you might want me to do include: brushing/grooming, administering medication, check the post, water plants, poop disposal, garbage disposal, security check on premises, etc.
  • I always text you a photo to let you know how they are doing at home
  • If you have special needs or instructions just let me know - no worries at all!
Some of the other things I do during visits:

  • Training - from basic puppy training (sit, down, stay, recall) to more advanced protocols (long stays, etc.)
  • Crate training for puppies
NOTE:

I'm aware everybody's situation is different and will work out the best combination of home visit services to suit you. In short, the rate is flexible based on what you require, where you live, etc.

Dog Walking

My dog walks are tailored for each dog I take - no exceptions.

Of course, they'll get the exercise but I also strive to provide stimulation, training, fun, and socialisation into the experience.

Any less then I haven't done a good job.

Walks are GPS mapped, timed, and distances recorded - which is SMS'ed to you at the end so you'll know exactly where we've been.

Some notes about my walks:

  • Hours: Monday-Friday (8am - 3pm and other times as required), Sat/Sun as required
  • We meet and I take notes about your dog and what you/and they require.

I take careful notes of your concerns about dog safety, behavioural traits, likes/dislikes, leash rules/manners, and absolutely anything you want to say or are worried about.

If you like, I will take your dog on a complimentary walk to bond and for you to feel comfortable with my services

  • Depending on where you live, day/time, and proximity to local dog parks etc. we may drive or walk to the selected park
  • We always have fun play (unless you don't want to) with the ball or other pooch friends
  • I will always text and send updates and photos on how we are enjoying the experience. As mentioned, a GPS map of our walking route, with details of time and distance walked will be sent to you
  • My walks are great value - generally at least 45 minutes to an hour in duration (or shorter if you wish). I will give them my full attention
  • Premium Day Care

    Your pet will be very well looked after accordingly to your requirements. Dogs get to roam and play with my own friendly dog in the grassed, fully-fenced back and front yards. They can hang out either outside or chill/sleep inside in a dedicated area in my house. For house trained pets, they are free to roam in our living areas and have my family for company.

    Leaving your precious pet with someone else to look after can be worrying, so rest assured I will do my utmost to ease your worries whilst they are away from you. Your pet will be welcomed as another member of the family.

    Day care usually only offered on weekdays.

    Here are some reasons why our Coogee Pooch Hotel and Services is deserving of 5 Stars:

    • we're doggie specialists and it's our passion - we know doggies and love them to bits
    • we absolutely enjoy looking after doggie friends and have heaps of fun :)
    • we understand intimately what pooch-parents look for and strive to exceed the needs of EVERY parent
    • our hotel grounds are beautiful - imagine sprawling green lawn under mature eucalyptus trees
    • our pooch guests are free to roam but safe, supervised care is our priority
    • every guest is a Poochstar - we get to know each pooch - Welcome to the family!
    • guests get to enjoy our daily scheduled hotel activites for free (see below)
    • we focus on open communication with pooch parents and welcome feedback
    • we try to have rockin' fun everyday but are serious about our responsibilities
    • if our Poochstar guest is not 100% happy, we'll tell you ourselves and will happily refund your money
    Hotel Daily Fun

    • High Tea - parents packed your lunch? otherwise enjoy some of our home made biscuits or carrots/celery (for the Vegans)
    • Aerobics On The Lawn - 100 points if you can catch crazy Mr Jax or get remotely close to his prized frisbee!
    • Lounge Lizards - nap anytime on our 2 lounges in the living room - sweet dreams!
    • Pooch University - our guests see this as 'treat' (kibble) time - but we always run through our 'Sit', 'Down', and 'Stay' commands (Mr Jax thinks he has a PhD. but we're not totally convinced....)
    • Cuddly Moments - the hotel manager has a slightly annoying habit of giving random cuddles
    • Bush Walks - ah...walking around Randwick Environment Park - this is heaven surely?
    My Pooch Hotel

    My house is on a 600sqm block.

    It has a front and backyard and is securely fenced all around. The grassy backyard is where pooches play and hang out (see photos).

    We have a leash-free dog park across the road and within a short walk to the Randwick Environmental park where we love to hang out and do bushwalks.

    Inside there is multiple hangout spaces depending on activity and who wants to go where :)

    Suburbs Serviced

    I generally work around the Eastern suburbs.

    If you are further away we will try to come up with some arrangement.

    Doggy Day Care
    Wendy, 2017-10-09

    Thanks so much for having Oddish over at such short notice. I felt like he was very cared for, and he came home tired and happy. Will definitely be coming to stay again. The photos were great to stay updated and we could see what Oddish was up to.

    Once again so so happy with Minh's care of Biscuit. She came home and fell right asleep - which means she played and had a ton of fun. No anxiety symptoms at all (unlike with other dog sitters) just a happy puppy. Also appreciated all the photos while we were away.

    This guy is one of the best on Pawshake.
