Bark-tastic Boarding!

Growing up in a household of dogs, from puppies to wise old seniors, I've cared for dogs of all ages and stages. I can totally understand it can be so daunting handing your baby over to a stranger. My Archie is back home in Melbourne right now being spoiled by my parents. I love him to bits and I can assure you that I’ll make sure to treat your baby like family!

Boarding • Juni 11, 2026

Kathleen was absolutely amazing with Ralphie. She sent regular updates and asked questions to see what Ralphie might need while he stayed with her. It was obvious she has experience with dogs, and really loves them. She was very attentive to Ralphie especially considering he has separation anxiety and needed medication administered daily. I’d recommend Kathleen without a doubt !! ❤️

Kathleen is reliable, caring, and amazing with dogs. My dog absolutely loves her, and I always feel confident knowing they’re in great hands. Highly recommend!

Kathleen has tonnes of experience with dogs, and I'd definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their pet looked after! She's an amazing dog mum for her own pooch Archie and has been a dog sitter for me and several other friends over the years. Be careful, your dog may just fall in love with her forever...

I currently work full time as a software engineer and am in the office 2 days a week. I live with two other housemates who are occasionally wfh so there’ll be no problems with taking your pet out for bathroom breaks and walkies!

Safety, trust & environment

I live on the fourth floor of a three bedroom flat, with amole space, a secured balcony, and an enclosed courtyard downstairs and we’ve got Hackney Downs and London Fields closeby

A typical day

I work from home most weekdays along with two other housemates, which means your dog will not be left alone, they’ll have company, cuddles, and plenty of activity throughout the day. I grew up with dogs, so caring for them feels completely natural to me, and I genuinely love having a furry friend around. A typical day looks like a proper morning or afternoon walk to start things off, sniffing out local cafes and exploring the neighbourhood at their pace, followed by chill time at home while I work. We also have a private courtyard downstairs where they’re free to roam, so there’s always somewhere to stretch their legs between walks. No other pets at home, just your dog getting my full attention!

Before your booking, I’d love to know a few important things about your dog to help them settle in. Please let me know where they can and can’t go, their favourite treats and eating habits, how they are with other dogs, people and children, anything to look out for on walks (e.g. pulling, scavenging, reactivity), and whether they’re comfortable being left alone for short periods. The more I know, the better I can make them feel at home!
