Me, my husband Rory and our 7kg Dachshund mix Kenzie live in a spacious first-floor apartment in Vienna's second district, between Augarten and Prater Park. Our apartment has a 20m2 private and secure outdoor space where my dog (and yours!) can enjoy sunbathing, toilet breaks and stimulation exercises when we're not outside of the apartment on an adventure. There is also a lift in the building if stairs are difficult for your dog. Less than 1 minute walk from my front door is our nearest fenced Hundezone where dogs can play and sniff off-lead. There is another Hundezone less than 5 minutes walk away so they're very accessible to us! Inside the apartment, dogs are welcome to relax and sleep on our big sofa, our bed or choose from a selection of plush beds, fluffy blankets and soft pillows -- the choice is theirs! If your dog stays in my apartment, we will follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times and bed times. I can also administer any medications as required. Your dog will benefit from full roam of the apartment, and if there are multiple dogs staying, they can easily be separated should there be any issues. All of my services include: Positive reinforcement including treats, adhering to any dietary requirements Sending you pictures of your dog along with updates Lots of cuddles and snuggles (if they want them!) Of course, everything can be customised to suit your dog's requirements and needs. If you have any special requests, just let me know!

On weekdays, I will do a dog walk for at least 30 minutes early in the morning or later in the evenings in summer, as it can be too hot for dogs to go out in the middle of the day. When it's cooler, on weekdays, I take dogs on a 30+ minute walks at lunchtime in Augarten, which is a 10 minute walk from my house. In Augarten, there is one of the many fenced Hundezones in my local area, where dogs are guaranteed some off-leash time. On the weekend, I take the U-bahn with the dogs to go on bigger adventures to lush green spaces like Prater Park, the Donau Insel or Donau Park. For dogs that are up for even bigger adventures, we can take the train into the countryside to do a full hike. But of course, for smaller dogs whose legs get tired, there is a nice park and a little forest less than 5 minutes from my front door with two fenced Hundezones which allow for a slightly shorter (but still very stimulating) adventure. After our walks, I take the dogs back home for a snack and some rest. After lunch, I will give them some love and attention on the sofa or in their beds (if this is something they want!). After an afternoon nap, I will allow time for some play and socialisation in the fenced Hundezone right outside my front door. I will also use this time to practice some obedience training and tricks with them, and let the dogs burn off any extra energy they have left over from our big walk. Throughout the whole day, dogs have full access to my 20m2 private and secure outdoor space for sniffing, playing, toileting and sunbathing. There is lots of space for higher energy dogs to get stimulation, while leaving space for the quieter, calmer dogs to chill out. Then, home for dinner and cuddles on the sofa! Whatever adventures we get up to, big or small, near home or far away, I would love for your dog(s) to join in!
