We offer a calm, gentle and caring home for your pets to visit, giving lots of care and attention while you are away. We welcome only one dog at a time, or two from the same family, to ensure a safe and comfortable visit.

We have a fully fenced backyard and a clean and tidy home where your dog can enjoy their holiday retreat or daycare visit. They are welcome inside, on the deck or can enjoy the freedom of running and playing in the yard. 

If it is your pup that is visiting they will have a lovely sociable visit sharing time with our own dogs, Pippa is a Cavoodle and Benji is a Cairnoodle. Pippa is lovely and gentle being a little older and Benji, almost 2, still has some puppy energy. Both are very well behaved love cuddles, playing in the garden and sitting on the deck. You will be able to meet them at our meet and greet to ensure you feel comfortable with your own pet coming to stay.

Your pets well-being will be a priority, and they will be nutured in a safe and loving home while you are away.

For overnight stays sleeping arrangements are able to be discussed. For this reason only fully trained dogs are able to stay. They must know the call to go outdoors and be able to do this 100% of the time. We will make an exception the first time but if there are recurring incidents you will be asked to find a new sitter for the future.  

We live in a quiet neighbourhood so your dog will generally need to be a quiet dog who listens. We understand that minimal barking to alert is appropriate behaviour but your dog must be able to stop when asked otherwise we will not be able to have them stay again.  

There will always be someone home if we are sitting over the weekends unless there is a very rare emergency, or unexpected short errand. For longer stays please be aware that during the school term there isn't anyone home on a Tuesday or Wednesday during school hours, however there is a live camera and I am working only a few streets away and able to return if necessary. 

Any visitors will be walked and played with everyday, or as discussed.

Boarding:

We will only take one pet at a time or two from the same family to ensure your pets visit is full of love and attention. Any special requests will be considered - we are flexible and happy to accomodate if possible. If booking for a long stay please ensuree that your pup is groomed and bathed prior to arrival, and for any long term stays we are happy to discuss grooming and bathing options. 

Daycare:

At this stage daycare is only available Saturdays. Your pup will be walked, and have company all day, and lots of love and attention will be given in a safe and friendly home.
