Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Pet Owner
I’ve been taking care of dogs nearly 20 years and more recently have spent a lot of time and effort working with my own dog. I’ve taught her the basics but I’ve also taken her to agility classes and worked incredibly hard with her on the calming protocol. I love dogs! And want to help other pet owners out knowing it’s never easy to do it all!

Ratings and reviews
Nova had a blast as always!

This was Mochi’s longest stay with Kelsey and Chris after doing a trial night in June. She had an absolutely incredible time and we felt at ease for the whole 10 days we were away. She has many quirks, which they accommodated lovingly! We absolutely be entrusting them with Mochi’s care in the future 🫶🥰

Kelsey and Chris were so fantastic with our Shiba inu, Mochi! They were very flexible with pick up and drop off times which we appreciated because we had a commitment come up and Mochi needed to stay a little bit longer than originally agreed upon! We met first for a meet and greet, which went fantastic and we did a trial night before we leave her for an extended period of time this summer. They were completely understanding and accommodating of all her funny little quirks, and their dog Dottie got along great with Mochi. Highly recommended!

Kelsey Matthews & Chris Zanella cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Kelsey and Chris are amazing! They did an amazing job with our Nova. She came home happy and super tired after a long day of fun!

Thanks Chris and Kelsey! We really appreciate the ongoing and quick communication and pictures!

Schedule
My partner and I work from home but ensure we take our own dog out every day at lunch and then again after work. If this schedule works for you, we’d love to spend time with your dog too!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a beautiful deck that my own dog likes to sit on during sunny days - she loves playing with other dogs and is naturally submissive so we’ve never had any problems with aggression. I don’t allow dogs on the bed but they are more than welcome to rest on the couch or any of the dog beds we have laying about. I live close to parks and dog parks so I can give your dog a great workout.

A typical day
Normally I take the dogs out at 12pm for 30-40 minutes and then again in the evening for around 40-60 minutes. There is great outside space where I live. I won’t ever have more than my dog and one other so they’ll get care and attention all day!
