Having grown up in Australia with a menagerie including large dogs (Rottweilers, Blue Healers, Labradors), fish, lizards, Guinea pigs, wallaby, rabbits and even a pig at one point, I've got experience and confidence with most pets (can't do spiders or snakes though! Ekk!). I'm definitely a dog person, but most animals can get a cuddle or scratch behind the ear from me anytime. I have an older Maltipoo that connects with calm energy straight away and would prefer any host overnight stays for a similar energy level to her, but regardless, I am looking forward to providing the home-away-from-home experience for your best friend. The same I would expect when my dog is being looked after. As new comers to the area, Molly the Maltipoo & I are hoping to make some new friends!
