Hi, I'm Alannah! Originally from Ireland, I recently moved to beautiful St Kilda with my partner and our energetic 9-year-old Cocker Spaniel, Riley. Despite his age, Riley still has the enthusiasm of a puppy. As I'm currently home full-time, I can provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care to every dog who stays with us. Your pup will rarely be left alone—no more than 3–4 hours, once or twice a week. We're lucky to live just a short 5-minute walk from both Albert Park and St Kilda Beach, so daily adventures are a big part of life here. Dogs in my care enjoy two long walks each day (60–90 minutes) as well as one or two shorter toilet and sniff walk. We understand the importance of plenty of playtime, enrichment and cuddles and offer a calm, comfortable home where they can relax and feel secure. Every dog is different, so once I learn more about your pup I can tailor their routine to suit their individual needs. Whether your dog loves long beach walks, playing fetch, exploring new smells, or simply curling up on the couch for a nap, I'll make sure they have the perfect balance of exercise, enrichment, and rest. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in safe hands. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own and I am happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. I always arrange a meet and greet before confirming longer stays. This gives your dog the chance to get to know Riley and me, ensuring everyone is comfortable and happy before their visit. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member and provide them with a safe, loving home away from home!
