Service Description

I live in a very sound, peaceful home alone. Only Beni's spirit lives here with me. Beni was "free to a good home" so I adopted him at the age of 2 years and loved him, caring for him for 15.5 years until he died peacefully at home with me. I miss him dearly and am needing to care for more dogs again as a result of needing canine friendship and the unconditional love they so willingly give when treated with kindness. They will rule the home but still be asked to take me for walks and to play ball or tug-o-war in the huge, safe back yard. We are close to Chatswood Veterinary Clinic and Figtree Veterinary Clinic if your pet needed medical help.

DROP OFF AND PICK UP TIMES:
If you require different drop off and pick up times, please organise these at our meet and greet. I'd prefer you to drop your doggies off between 7.30am-8.30am (earliest times Mon-Fri), please. Later is perfectly acceptable. No earlier thanks.
PICK UP times must be between 7pm and 7.30pm, please. No later, thanks. Earlier is perfectly acceptable.

DIET: Another thing I would ask is that you begin to feed your doggies Eukanuba or Eukanbana kibble. It is especially formulated by veterinary scientists and provides all the nutrients and minerals to keep your dogs healthy. This shows in their uniform stools, making it easier to pick up. Feeding them this food means they dont need their diets supplemented with anything else. No cooking or washing pots and pans.Yay!!!
Nessie the labrador eats eukanuba and her poos were "beautiful" and didn't make a mess. Not sticky, not smelly and told the story of a healthy and happy doggy. :)
It's your choice but this is the food I recommend for the dogs and they do eat it, enjoying the taste. Haven't met one dog who turned its nose up at Eukanuba. :)

It is just me at home so your baby will be treated like royalty of the animal kingdom, staying with me. They will stay in the bedroom with me, if you approve. It's up to you. I can do exactly as is best for your pet. I like to spoil the pets as I did Beni. I prefer the dogs to eat Eukanuba or Eukanbana kibble. This can be bought at the vets or online. Fresh water every day and lots and lots of hugs and cuddles, told they're loved and good dogs.

More About The Pet Minder

Kim A.

Am so delighted to be working with the dogs again. We are blessed to have a home that is dog friendly, in Lane Cove North. I thoroughly enjoy caring for our K9 friends and family members. Old is not a problem. I'm no spring chicken myself. I can ramble on sometimes, with my dear, departed mum saying, "Kim could speak under water with a mouth full of marbles!!!" I love conversations about life and the joys it brings each day. I am a strong and... more

Experience

Tell us about your experience with pets! How long have you been a pet lover?

I've always had dogs around me right from when I was a toddler. My family are allergic to cat fur, so we had dogs as companions and pets. Like most little girls, I wanted to be a vet. Attempted to study but found ailing elderly grandparents took precedence over studies and working became a priority to support the family during cancer treatments.Was given a miniature french poodle puppy as a 13th birthday present and took her to obedience classes at Kennel Club and found she was so smart. So gentle too. I still love poodles as they're the most amazing creatures. My dogs have given me so much unconditional love that it is not difficult to be friends with them. I don't mind bribing them if it breaks the ice. Most pets take a shine to me and me to them. I love to pat them and tell them they're good dogs and they're loved. Beni, the kelpie crossed with black and white border collie, loved listening to my meditations and chill music. We have a very peaceful home here, no children or other pets. Just me and your pet being spoilt and treated like canine royalty. I learnt how to give Beni his medicines when he was older. I used to sneak his tabs into a piece of free range chicken, Beni's favorite!!! This worked a treat and this how I would give meds to your pooch, should it come to stay with me. I am now 53 and so I have been a pet lover for 53 years now. :) I also worked as a pet sitter with Don't Fret Pet and thoroughly loved this work. I know that I am an extremely kind, responsible person capable of making your pet's stay the most luxurious holiday it will have, whilst you're away on business or holidays. You can trust me to take care of your pet as if it were my Loved dog Beni. I will give your pet the once over each night to check for any parasites ie ticks or anything else unwanted. I used to check Beni every night as his advocate would only kill internal parasites and fleas.

Q&A

Where will you walk my dog? Please tell us about the nearby parks.

I will walk your dog along Mowbray Road, Lane Cove North, up to Centennial Avenue or even the Pacific Highway, then back down home again. I take a pooper scooper and clean up after your pet has done their doggy jobs. This walk can take as long as they like. Mowbray Road is the "doggy telegraph" and plenty of sniffing and snuffling goes on if they enjoy. It's up to them, unless you want them to totally be heeling and paying sole attention to me. Your dog, your rules. If they're trained I will do my best to keep to their routine and not waver from this. I don't want to give confused signals to the doggy. It is a pleasant and safe walk for those dogs with their immunisation papers, lasting up to one hour. No immunisation papers, then they have to stay at home with me, walking around the house yard for exercise. I don't like taking non-immunised dogs out onto the streets where they might pick up a canine virus or illness. Beni was completely immunised and protected and I would ask that you be honest with me if your doggy is not immunised against canine illnesses and diseases.

What information do you need to know about a pet before accepting a booking?

Please notify me of your dog's stay one week, at least, before the stay. If I have other appointments, it gives me time to reschedule these appointments and meetings. Thank you for your kindness and consideration. I promise your pooch will feel loved and spoilt whilst staying with me. Sometimes I just need reorganisation time. :) I would like to know that your doggy is immunised and has been cleared of any heartworm. He or she needs to be guarded against fleas and ticks. If no tick treatment, then I can give them the once over each night to check for any ticks or parasitic nasties. Please bring the veterinary papers, declaring the last two times they were immunised against canine diseases and illnesses. This makes it safer to walk the dog and brings me peace of mind, knowing your pet is completely safe whilst out walking with me. Don't stress though, No immunisation, they walk around the house with me and play inside the big backyard. Ball and tug-a-war works well for exercise. :) They certainly won't be bored and if they are, we can go for more walks or have more cuddles and "love in" time. :) Are they toilet trained? Do they chew or eat everything in sight? Do they answer the door or stay quiet for me to answer it?

What is the estimated time that you will spend with my pet each day?

24 hours when staying overnight or for extended periods. 10.5-11 hours for Doggy Daycare.(During the day. DROP OFF: 7.30-8.30am. PICKUP: 7-7.30pm, unless organised one week before stay, please.)
