Lisa

Hi, I’m Lisa. I’m a stay at home mum of three. Two beautiful boys & 1 stunning beagle girl named Sophie!!

If you are seeking a calm relaxing space for your beloved pet that still provides socializing & enrichment with one other happy very loved doggie , then I’m a great option for you! 

I believe kennel boarding does not offer the same benefits that having a private pet sitter does. With me as your private pet sitter, your pets get to have my full exclusive attention! 

That's because I take limited bookings at a time. 

You also get to introduce your furbaby to the surroundings and their social play pal Sophie prior to your official booking with 1 complimentary meet n greet. 

A meet n greet is so important!! 

It allows us to determine if we are a good match! Temperaments of dogs differ in varied social settings. You’ll get to see prior to booking where and with whom your dog will be spending their time. 

You also get to have the option of sending your furbaby to me for a day of “ casual doggie day care” to further assist their transition holidaying with us. This is such a great option if your dog suffers from anxiety. I aim to help create a far less stressful experience, not just for your pet but for you , the pawrent as well. 

About Sophie our beagle : 

My husband and I have had Sophie for over 10 years. She is the sweetest , most gentle social dog. Don’t let her age fool you. She’s still got lots of play in her! She is very timid, submissive & obedient. Making her a great companion for your pooch ! 

Sophie also suffers from anxiety. She is triggered by separation , loud noises & things like bikes & skateboards can set her off too. We’ve done a lot of training with her & she has come a very long way. Thankfully too, she does very well socially so long as our guests are timid as well. 

As previously noted , we always do one complimentary meet n greet to establish temperament of our fur kids together. 

Sophie is of course up to date with all vaccinations , worming , flea treatments & is desexed! 

About our family : 

We have 2 little boys under the age of 5 so safety is our number 1 priority for your furry family members & all of ours. Our boys share a love of all animals , especially dogs & have been taught to always be gentle & calm towards all animals. With that said, there are times our dog Sophie needs quiet time & she can find that either outside away from the children or down on the lower level of our house in the rumpus room, where there is restricted access, keeping everyone safe & happy!

Our home & surroundings: 

Our backyard is LARGE & fully enclosed. There is lots of room to run & play for their mental and physical needs. (Lots of grass & shady areas to have a much needed rest in too.)

We are a pretty active family who love to get out for walks round the neighborhood and at the sandgate esplanade which is just a 10 min drive to, so if you would like your dog to get some extra exercise please let us know, we would love for them to come join us. 

Inside the home your pets will enjoy lux comforts with air conditioned rooms , lots of space to come & go & no shortage of hands to get a scratch and cuddle from. 

You can rest assured your pooch will receive the same TLC Sophie does when they come to stay!
