Pet care experience

Room to Run, Fully Fenced Paradise

I have been dog sitting regularly since 2017, and have cared for animals of my own for 25 plus years. I adore every dog that stays in my home and enjoy the lasting relationships of the families who trust me with their dogs. In the past I have adopted several rescue dogs who came to me as adults with behaviour and medical issues; some of the most gratifying and heartwarming experiences of my life. . I am a wildlife enthusiast spending most of my recreational time outdoors. I intuitively understand animal behaviour, quickly winning over the most cautious of the bunch.

Thanks for looking after Gus. She came home tired and relaxed, seemed like a stress free stay.

We had a great experience with Kevin and Jenny. They were very friendly and quickly adapted our dog into their household, making sure he felt relaxed and comfortable during his stay. They send regular updates and kept us in the loop, including photos - no small feat since our pup doesn't like to sit still for them! We wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.

We loved this house. We got daily updates and photos and we could tell that Fitz loved their lovely dog, Allie. We will be trying to book with these guys from now on.

Schedule

My property and house becomes the second home for your dog. They have unlimited and supervised access to our home and fully fenced property. Pets sleep where they choose in the house unless there are specific instructions from you. My Rover availability is scheduled during my at home time with little need to leave the property. Safety is my number one concern for your dog.

Safety, trust & environment

My property is 2.5 acres fully fenced with a combination of trees and lawn. My flooring was designed with ‘non slip’ and durability in mind (for my past clumsy Great Dane). I give dogs the time and space they need to feel safe and comfortable including providing them with their favourite items from home . I use positive reinforcement with praise and family approved or provided treats. Dogs are allowed on furniture (if they are allowed at home) when invited up. Your pet will have free access to most areas in the home. To avoid food aggression mistakes no dogs are open fed. If your dog is normally open fed or has trouble eating regularly I will give them every option to ensure they get a healthy portion of food each day (your tricks are welcome information). Exercise is provided daily including unlimited access to the full 2.5 acres.
