46 year old stay at home mum of 3 teens with time to get back to things I love, such as caring for and training animals.
We believe pets are family and should be hanging out with us, whether we're inside or out, so our guests are assured of a 'second home away from home'.
I am a trusted 'aunty' and holiday home for my fellow instructors' dogs (you can see some of my 'nephews' making themselves at home in my pictures). I have been an instructor and active participant in my local positive reinforcement based dog training club for over 5 years, so your fur-baby's established training won't be undone during their stay. If your pup walks nicely on lead, I'll happily include them in our walks, otherwise, they will be given appropriate enrichment, play and lots of attention in the home and yard to ensure they're happy and calm.
We currently have 2 medium desexed labradoodle girls and have experience with caring for cockatiels. Our girls prefer the company of adult dogs with similar play style and energy levels, hence I'm unable to accept bookings for dogs under a year old and strongly encourage meet and greets before stays of more than 2 nights.
Special needs (geriatric, deaf, epileptic, etc) welcome; there may be a small increase in fees depending on the level of need. A meet and greet is strongly encouraged before any stay. Stays are limited to a maximum of 2 weeks.
SERVICES:
boarding with us -check in/out times by prior arrangement, maximum of 2-week stay
boarding for special needs pets
emergency transport - should your pet need emergency treatment, our family wagon is fitted with a cargo barrier and we have crates etc for safe transport to the nearest vet.
training - extra charges apply
FACILITIES:
We have a large suburban home on a large block, fully fenced with secure 6ft fences and locked gates. We have spare equipment just in case you forget something but prefer that you supply your fur-baby's usual dinner bowl, bed, lead, collar, etc.
AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL POLICE CHECK available for sighting on request
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Monique is thorough, considerate and professional. I have absolute confidence our boys is in good hands when with her.
Rockii had a fabulous time as always. Monique and family look after Rockii with care and attention, the updates recieved are always entertaining and provide a level of comfort when leaving my furbaby behind. Thank you and I know Rockii is looking forward to next time.
