****Please note for the Christmas 2024 period I am unable to take any new pets for daycare or sitting, owners who have had their dog stay with me before feel free to book for this period. Much appreciated!
I’m an active, energetic pet lover with a large house and fully fenced yard, and I'm opening my home to care for your cats or dogs when you need to be away from home.
I work from home, my dog Hugo and I walk twice a day for at least 30 minutes each walk so if your pooch loves getting out and about he/she will love staying with us. My partner and mother-in-law help me take care of the visiting pets! If your dog has littler legs, my partner will join the walk and just do a little loop once a day. We usually walk around the residential area that I live in, along the lake and past the shops. Sometimes we jump in the car and go to the dog beach or Brimbank/ Maribyrnong parks which are nearby.
We will keep you updated with texts and photos of your cutie throughout their stay!
Please note my standard drop-off time is after 12:00 noon and pick-up time is before 2:00 pm
As a pet owner I was planning an interstate trip and finding it really hard to secure a safe, suitable place to board my dog. This experience made me want to become a reliable host for other pet families.
I have a dog and a cat at home, I often care for my cousin’s and friend’s dogs when they go away. I am experienced with walking/playing with small and medium dogs and aware of the principles of positive obedience training. Really love to get to know dogs and cats of all types!
Home and Area
I have a hard-floored house and a large yard with lawn and paved areas. There are plenty of parks around the neighbourhood, which we will visit on our walks.
My home is a short drive from Melbourne Airport, so if the timing is suitable, you can consider dropping off your pet just before your domestic or international flight, and picking him/her up straight after.
I would love for you to come and check out the house and yard before the stay, if better for you we can always meet in a mid-way location. This will be so you can meet my resident dog, and tell me all about your pet's requirements!
Services
I offer overnight Pet Boarding and Daycare Services. I ensure your pet is appropriately fed, watered, played with, taken on walks, kept safe and content at all times.
Your pet will sleep in my lounge room with the bedding you have supplied. I will cuddle them on the couch in the evenings. I really enjoy discovering each pet's personality and experiencing them at their happiest.
We can continue your obedience training routines if you leave the details of commands etc with us!
Requirements
Pets must be vaccinated, wormed and have had flea treatment. It is preferable that dogs are house trained or can go toilet on the walks.
Due to having a cat at my home, dogs for boarding must be cat friendly and being small/medium size (<20kgs) is preferred.
Standard drop-off time is after 12:00 noon and pick-up time is before 2:00 pm

Annie is our first choice whenever we need Charlie looked after. He absolutely loves going there and having adventures in the back yard. He sleeps very well when he is back! Annie always sends pics and gives him lots of cuddles too.
Annie looked after our 5 month old puppy Charlie who has never been left before. We were nervous about how our puppy would settle but were reassured from the time of booking to his stay. We were updated continuously with photos and Charlie came home very tired & content from his day. Cannot rate Annie highly enough!
