A best friend, for your best friend
Love all doggies, especially Large and Giant Breeds: 20+ years of experience and care About Me Hi, I’m Ko! For over two decades, my life has revolved around the love, training, and care of dogs. While I adore dogs of all shapes and sizes, my true passion and specialty lie with giant breeds. I understand that extra-large dogs require extra-large understanding, patience, and physical capability. When your big pup stays with me, they aren’t just getting a pet sitter—they are getting someone who understands giant breed traits, from the gentle-giant sensitivity of Great Danes to the protective loyalty of Rottweilers. My home is a safe, spacious, and calm environment where your large dog can feel entirely comfortable and understood. Why Choose Me? • 20+ Years of Hands-on Experience: Two decades of managing diets, medication, and behavioral needs. • Giant Breed Specialist: Extensive experience with Rottweilers, Ridgebacks and Mastiff breeds. • Leash Control Mastery: Expert at handling strong pullers using positive reinforcement techniques. • Home Full-Time: Your dog will receive constant supervision and companionship.

Ratings and reviews
He was really good with our dog Yuki, took great care of her, we had regular updates. Yuki was really happy there too. We will want to use Kodjo again in future.
Absolutely brilliant dog sitter! Rocco was so well looked after and came home happy and settled. It was clear he had a lovely time and was really cared for. I had great communication throughout and felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and use again!
Mila had a lovely stay. Slept all the way home and straight back to sleep when we got in so she has clearly been kept busy 🥰
Ko did a wonderful job looking after luna
Kodjo was absolutely lovely with Skye! Skye loved staying with him and they were best friends immediately. Kodjo was super friendly and reassured us of how he would be looking after Skye and shared photos while we were away which was great. We’ll definitely be teaching about again next time we need dog care- thank you!
Ko clearly knows and understands dogs. He looked after Peggy, our collie, overnight; took her for plenty of walks and understood her quirks - eg, a walk doesn’t happen if there isn’t a ball! It was good to be able to arrange a meet and greet beforehand. I would definitely recommend Ko.

Schedule
I currently work from home 3 days a week from a desk in my living room. So, I'm always with your doggy and in line of sight of the sofa, which is avaialble for them. I am available for long weekends or longer if arranged in advance. I work from the office Wenesdays and another day, which is flexible, so I could probably rearrange as needed.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a dog friendly home with a sofa which I'm willing to share if your pup will let me. I have a small deck and fenced in yard. However, I walk three times a day in Cringle park for an hour at a time, so the deck is just for lounging and the yard for between walk toileting. No children, no pets of my own and a nice quiet environment for your pup. I recently lost my beautiful Ridgeback Mastiff Trevor. I wouldn't go as far as saying I like dogs more than people...but you know what I mean. Your favourite person will be happy, safe and entertained if they stay with me and I will be very happy to look after them.
A typical day
I walk before work, mainly in the beautiful Cringle Park and at lunchtime and after work (8-9am, 12-1pm and after 4:30pm. So, if you time your drop off and collection, your furry child will have plenty of exercise. As I prefer dogs to walk off lead...eventually. I will actively work towards improving your dogs recall, in a structured way to achieve this. Eventually, this should allow your dog to play and sociaise with the many, many dogs and owners that are part of the Cringle Park community.
