About Gabby

My educational background is in psychology and early childhood education, and funnily enough, the skills are transferable to dog caring; you still clean up after them and train/teach them to be the best they can be! I care for animals deeply and tend to give amazing cuddles whilst providing fun and stimulating play. Plus, if I've been trained to be loving and caring with babies, you can only imagine the love and affection I show for the best animals in the world!

With my own fur baby, I have become proficient in training and caring and know that I'll do the same for you. My puppy was toilet trained within a week and learned sit, stay, touch, look, drop, up/down, bunny, cuddles, leave it and through (the hoop) within a month. I can also administer oral medication and ear medication (my pup knows the drill well). If you're also looking for a furry friend for your loved one, my Louis is the perfect companion; he's a youngin that loves a good play (and a snooze) with another dog.

Your pup is welcome to spend the day with us (or even the night!) for a fun filled day full of activities and adventures! The apartment that we live in is a small 2 bedroom apartment with an outdoor balcony lined with fake grass where the puppers can do their business. The balcony is closed off, however there is an open area so all dogs will be supervised on the balcony in case there are any jumpers! Whilst the apartment is small, we have so much available to us as we're in the heart of the city; Just a quick walk/drive to the beach, the vet and many dog parks (might even treat a sneaky puppicino at gasworks).

Specifically, boarding days can be up to 7 hours (9-4) and we're happy to have sleepovers on specific days. Because our apartment is quite small, I would not board more than 1 dog at a time unless the dogs in question are quite small or bonded (I have to think about my boy too!). Sleep wise, the dogs have full access to the living area and can sleep where they like; just not in the rooms! Our walks depend on the dog; puppies will walk no longer than 45mins whereas adult dogs can get up to 2 hours depending if you prefer one good walk or two walks per day; we're happy to cater for your preference.

Being a part time kinder teacher and dance teacher, I have a lot of flexibility in my days off and can arrange my days to suit your needs. Whilst my pup can stay at home alone, please know that I would not do this to yours except in dire circumstances, to which you'll be contacted straight away. However, my partner also works from home and will be able to assist in constant supervision (he's had over 20 years of caring for dogs in a family environment, mainly active dogs as well).

There's so much love in our home and we'd love to share it with your furry friend!

Familiar with dog training techniques
I am a trained early childhood educator and interestingly, the skills are transferable to animals! I provide animals with the love and affection they crave, whilst also being proficient in training techniques. Louis learned his basic commands, in addition to bunny, cuddle, and going through a hoop, within a month of training.
