Pet care experience

Friendly dog sitter who works from home.

Thanks for finding my listing! My name is David, and I reside with my partner, Jimmy, who is also a dog lover, and our adorable 5-year-old miniature Schnauzer, Bruno. Growing up, I always had dogs at home, and over the years, I've taken care of dogs for friends and family. I've also provided professional dog sitting services in Melbourne, Australia. I can cater to your dog's needs, whether you prefer lots of cuddles or a more structured approach. I live in a large three-bedroom detached house with a securely fenced wrap-around garden, and there are parks within walking distance. Bruno is a friendly dog who loves meeting new friends and is happy to relax most of the day. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I look forward to meeting your furry companion!

Aizen had a fantastic stay with Dave, Jimmy & Bruno whilst I had to attend a last minute work event! He got lots of walks, doggy playtime & plenty of cuddles which is all he ever wants. Got a very happy & tired boy back after a few days & he can’t wait to stay again ☺️

David and Jimmy were amazing. Harvey loved staying with them and their dog Bruno. Had lots of pictures, videos and messages throughout his stay. Definitely a 5 star holiday home for our dog!

What a wonderful man Dave is. Left Cassie with him and Jimmy for 4 days and was updated constantly with photos of my dog. I always used to choose kennels but Dave is a dog minding don. Brilliant service and care, thank you!

Doggy Day Care • Mar 05, 2023

Dave and his partner were life savers and really helped us out last minute when we were let down by another sitter. They looked after my dog Oreo like their own. He had a fantastic time and definitely didn’t want to come home! Lots of photos and videos as well. We can’t thank them enough for their kindness and care.

A typical day

Since I work from home, I'm always available to spend time with your furry friend. Bruno gets three walks every day, one long and two short ones, and your dog can join in on the fun. On weekends, we love to go on road trips to the countryside.
