About Craig

My name is Craig, I'm a 54 year old Graphic Designer working at home. 

My spacious home is fenced and I can keep an eye on the dogs all day, whether they are in the house or out in the yard playing, I can see them through the windows and check on them often. 

If your dog is staying overnight it's best if you can bring their bed, and collar and lead, their food, any medicine obviously, and a contact number on the collar for a worst case scenario (this has never happened before to me but I like to be safe). Only vaccinated pets please.

Pick-up and Drop-off is a premium service, I will be charging $100/hr for dog taxis so it’s best if you are close or if you pick-up / drop-off yourself, thank you.

I grew up on a large property with animals and my mum ran the Pittwater / Ingleside branch of the Animal Welfare League for 18 years where I helped look after animals. I'm good with all sorts of dogs and have had lots of dog minding and dog walking experience over the years. 

Pawshake won't let me save this without adding more words, so here's a dog poem some AI wrote;

Frisky the dog is black and white
He's always happy and wagging his tail
He loves to be petted and will give you a kiss
He's a good dog and always listens
He's a loyal friend and always there
When you're feeling down, he'll make you smile
He's always ready to play and have some fun
He's a good dog, Frisky, and we love him so

Craig is a relaxed very caring dog minder and his experience is immediately evident when you meet him, our dog slotted in beautifully. We felt very comfortable to leave her with Craig and will definitely use his service again.

Craig was very accommodating and looked after our staffy very well, he was active with our dog, taking him to local parks and a dip in the water. Will definitely use Craig again. Highly recommend 😀
