Hi, I’m Grace :) I grew up with two poodles I dearly loved, and have since realised how much I miss having a furry friend around. So while I don't currently have a pet of my own, this felt like the perfect way to help people and spend some time with dogs at the same time! I do have a soft spot for poodles, though honestly love all dogs. I enjoy getting to know a dog's unique personality and quirks, and try to tailor my care to be what they need to feel safe, comfortable and happy while in an unfamiliar situation. I'm very mindful of sticking closely to their routines so they feel settled while you're away. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection and playtime so they feel like they are part of the family. My goal is always to make sure both the dog I'm caring for and their owner feel as comfortable as possible with my care. 💗 🐶 Dog boarding info 🐶 Before booking I'll learn about your dog's personality, routines and needs from you, and am happy to arrange a meet and greet if you'd like. Please also let me know about any behaviours, quirks or special needs your dog may have so I can make sure they have the best possible stay. During the booking I'll send you daily photos and updates so you can feel reassured that your dog is happy and see what they're up to 👀 Environment: My house is clean with a relaxed atmosphere and comfy furniture that dogs are welcome to lie on, and a secure medium-sized backyard where they can relax and play. I'm also just a few minutes from on- and off-leash parks for fun daily walks. I live with three other responsible, dog loving adults, so your dog will have company most of the time and will usually not be left alone for more than a few hours at a time. I am happy to take just one dog at a time, so if your dog would prefer to be alone that's absolutely fine. If they are comfortable with other dogs, I may occasionally have a maximum of two small dogs at a time (with approval from both owners). Bedtime Dogs will sleep in the living room, in their own bed (or on the couch if they prefer). Unfortunately I don't allow dogs in the bedroom due to mild allergies, so please let me know if they are not used to sleeping alone. What to bring: For your dog's comfort, please bring their bed or blanket, leash, usual food and snacks and maybe a favourite toy.
