I have looked after a range of dogs from chihuahuas to labradors, and have a beautiful, friendly, and very playful female kelpie named Killara.

***********************************************I no longer look after dogs that have not been desexed
***********************************************
I prefer short term stays on the first booking to ascertain a dog's character before committing to longer term boarding

We visit the park most days so Killara can play with the other dogs. If we don't go to the park, we usually head to the beach for a swim in summer.

With over 25 dogs throughout 2024, I have not met a dog that Killara does not get along with. Killara loves company, but I'm not ready to commit to a second dog, so pet sitting is the perfect middle ground.

I have two teenage children and a four year old who all love dogs. I am retired, so I have plenty of time to spend with your cherished pooch, and am rarely away from home for more than a few hours.

My back yard is fully fenced with secure gates. I do have service providers accessing the property periodically for lawn, garden, and pool maintenance. Most of the photos in my gallery are taken in my back yard, at the local park 300m away, or at the beach where I take the dogs walking and swimming.

I generally allow the dogs to sleep inside in their bed on the floor next to my bed if they will settle, otherwise there is a sheltered area in the garage for them to get comfortable.

I will need you to provide your own food, bed and leash, and training treats if you would like some obedience training done.

Drop-off and pick-up between 9am and 5pm only. Please book the day either side if you are unable to meet these times.

Note: Dates are not locked in until you pay. Due to a large number of enquiries, if you want to secure your booking, please make the booking and pay in the app to avoid missing out. This is not for my benefit. Pawshake keeps the money until completion of the booking, and you can always cancel for a full refund if your plans change.
