Our family - Michelle, Adrian, and four teenage children have a proven record of quality, affordable and attentive care. Our large home at Ashfield / Summer Hill is securely fenced and has large grassed areas. There is no charge for walking if we are 'hosting' or 'caring'. Someone is almost always home. And we can provide food at cost - Ashfield 'Pet Barn' is a three minute walk.
Although we don't have our own dog, our family enjoy caring for, the company of, and the regular exercise that dog caring brings and these are the major reasons we joined Mad Paws. Of course we also enjoy learning about the different breeds and their characteristics, meeting the neighbours and it helps us to save! Although we have a rabbit and three chooks, (who have their own secure spaces) we've learnt that dogs offer the best companionship!
We have three main areas for dogs to play/rest/sleep.
Mum (clean freak) only allows pets inside @ downstairs rear of the house, so your dog will usually be found here on the rear landing or in Dad's office or in the cool breezeway. Most dogs sleep on the rear landing, at night.
Beyond the rear door (generally open 7am - 10pm) are four steps to the courtyard, approx. 50m2, half grass, half cement paved, well shaded and fully fenced. Off the courtyard is the garage, laundry (outside dogs sleep here) and the gate to main grassed yard.
The main grassed yard (approx 120m2) is fully fenced, gated and open/accessible during daylight hours. It's a great space for chasing, playing catch or lolling around the long grass under the trampoline.
Further down the yard are other fenced areas where the chooks and rabbit free range. Your pet will always be inside when it's wet. When it's hot the cool cement slab floor of the laundry, the long grass under the trampoline, or in front of the fan in Dad's office is where s/he will be. Plenty of photos are always available. Water, inside & out, is always changed daily.
We would love the opportunity to care for your small-medium sized dog (unfortuntely we are unable to care for large dogs).
