About Donna
Important updates;
* we are taking bookings from previous customers ONLY (home visits and walks excepted).
* our household is fully vaccinated against covid-19*
* we are no longer able to assist with pets over school holidays.

Pets who stay with us enjoy being part of our family life and are rarely alone (both adults work from home). We would love to care for your pets for both day or holiday/overnight care.

OUR GOAL To provide the sort of care we would want for our own pets.

OUR LOCATION We are located in Glen Iris, a leafy inner eastern suburb of Melbourne. We are approximately 10 kms from the city, with easy access from the Monash freeway. Geographically, due to the south-eastern urban sprawl - we are located metres from the centre of Melbourne!

WHAT WE DO:

HOME-STAY (with us)

Small / Small-medium dogs
* play, walks and cuddles.
* indoor/outdoor access.
* balls, chew toys and rope toys
* all inside dogs most welcome to sleep inside.
* we have an assortment of bedding options - bean bags inside and pet beds outside for lounging in the sun.
* we feed pets twice daily and play/check on them constantly.

Cat(s)
* we are able to home visit cats up to twice daily, providing food, cleaning and play.

Guinea pigs / Rabbits
* can be kept in an indoor, fleece-lined cage or outdoors under cover (whichever you would prefer), with fresh food, water and vegetables throughout the day. Nb: 'small' pets special rate $.

Birds
*We are happy to attend to your bird and allow for out of cage time, when and if you prefer.
*Chickens, water dragons, other pets? Talk to us!

Your pets will be cared for as our own. Our aim is for them to come home to you happy - after their own holiday with us!

DOGGY DAYCARE
* we have doggy daycare Tues - Fri
* dogs come for the day and are entertained with their favourite games and attention throughout the day
* daily photo updates

Nb- our doggy daycare has limited places remaining. Your dog/preferred day, may be placed on a waitlist. We will help if we can.

VISIT YOUR HOME

I am happy to visit your home, pamper your pets, collect mail and water your plants while you are away. Depending on needs, pets and location, I will generally visit your home once a day and spend 45 minutes with your pets.

To allow for adequate time, I am able to travel within 10kms of Glen Iris 3146 (although can consider other areas, let me know).

Please ask any questions, we are happy to answer and hope we can assist with your pets soon. Let us know how we can help. Thankyou :)
