Hi, I'm a dog lover. I and my companion are owners of two dogs, a Bichon Frise and a Goldendoodle. I enjoy spending time with dogs, taking them for walks and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. Having dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust when you need to leave your furry friend behind. I'm looking to welcome small, well-behaved and toilet-trained dogs into my home when their owners are away on holiday or need someone to look after them. I would treat your dog as I would my own, making sure they have attention, a comfortable place to rest and a routine that suits them. I'm happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks and any particular habits your dog has. If you're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys being around dogs and will take their care seriously, feel free to get in touch. I'd be happy to learn more about your dog and discuss your needs. ### Walks and outdoor time My typical walk is around one hour, depending on the dog's age, energy level and needs. There is a nearby fenced dog park and several walking paths within approximately 1 km of my home. I can adjust the walk to suit each dog's fitness and temperament. My backyard is securely fenced and provides a space for dogs to go outside for toilet breaks, play and stretch their legs throughout the day. I would always consider each dog's needs and supervise outdoor time appropriately. ### Sleeping arrangements For dogs that are toilet-trained and comfortable indoors, they can sleep on the living room sofa. For puppies that are still learning to use pee pads, I can arrange a separate area within the fenced space to help manage their overnight routine and toilet needs. ### Meet-and-greet Before confirming a booking, I'd prefer to arrange a meet-and-greet so the dog can get familiar with me and my home, and we can see how they interact with my two dogs. This also gives us a chance to discuss feeding, toilet habits, walking preferences and any special care instructions. ### Care and updates I follow the owner's instructions and aim to maintain the dog's usual routine as much as possible. I'm happy to provide photo updates during the stay so owners can see how their dog is settling in. I can host one or two small, well-behaved dogs at a time, provided they are toilet-trained and accustomed to doing their business in the backyard. Toilet-trained dogs may be left alone for up to six hours when necessary. For puppies that are not yet toilet-trained, I can arrange a designated fenced area to help keep them safe and manage their toilet needs while I'm away.
