Hello! We're Lauren and Russ, two Canadians who live in Melbourne. We've both grown up with dogs our entire lives and have been dog-sitting for years back in Canada and are looking to continue doing so here in Melbourne.
We're both well-versed in big dogs and small dogs alike, so have no problems with size requirements. Growing up with Golden Retrievers (Russ) and Wheaton Terriers (Lauren) have definitely given us an appreciation for what it takes to constantly care for your furry best mate. We treat them like one of our own!
We have a beautiful 110 sq.m apartment right on Beaconsfield Avenue Parade with tons of sunlight and places to cuddle, and have easy access to a ton of great parks and beaches within a few steps of our door.
We're both very active and enjoy daily walks on the beach. We're flexible to meet your dog's walking length and schedule.
We typically only sit one dog at a time unless they come as a pair together. We're both able to work from home so one of us will be here at all times. There are no other pets/people in the home but the two of us. We don't allow dogs on our bed at night so we'd ask them to sleep in their own bed.
We look forward to chatting with you!
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Margo had a great stay Russ and Lauren are great sitters she can’t wait for her next sleepover 🐾🐩
Russell and Lauren were fantastic dog sitters for Duke, our 5 year old border collie! They took him for lovely walks along the Bay and to Albert Park Lake. They communicated really well in terms of pick/drop off and kept us updated everyday on how he was going and sent us photos. Would definitely recommend them to others!
