I have looked after a range of dogs from chihuahuas to labradors, and have a beautiful, friendly, and very playful female kelpie named Killara.
We visit the local park most mornings where Killara plays with the other dogs and explores the bushland. When we don't go to the park, we usually head to the beach for a swim in summer.
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 can board two dogs at a time, along with two doggy daycare spots.
I have two teenage children and a three 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 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 can also arrange grooming at your own expense if you are going away for a while.
I will need you to provide your own food, bed and leash, and training treats if you would like some obedience training done.

I recently had the pleasure of having Tony take care of my furry friend, Archie, while I was away. From the very beginning, the experience was fantastic!
Communication:
Tony was incredibly responsive and made the entire process so easy. They sent regular updates and adorable photos of Archie having a great time, which put my mind at ease.
Care and Attention:
It was clear that he truly loves dogs! Archie was showered with affection, and I could tell they enjoyed every moment together. Whether it was going for long walks, playtime at the park, or just snuggling on the couch, Tony made sure he was well taken care of.
Environment:
Tony's home was welcoming and dog-friendly, with plenty of space for Archie to roam around. I appreciated how they took the time to dog-proof the area and ensure a safe environment.
Trustworthiness:
I felt completely at ease leaving Archie in Tony's care. He was punctual, responsible, and followed all of my instructions to the letter.
Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! I highly recommend Tony to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter. I will definitely be booking them again for my next trip!
excellent care and lots of photo/video updates
