About Despina

Meet your dog's new best friend: ME! ❤️

I’m Sydney-based, and will care for your dog like she/he is my own. I have 20+ years’ experience looking after dogs, and am very caring with good leadership skills – so your dog will feel both loved AND safe. 🐶

Check in/check out times:

• Hosting: drop off by 9am, pick up 9am the next morning.
• Day Care: drop off by 9am, pick up 6pm that evening.

(That said, I know that life does not always run to schedule, so times can be a little flexible!)

My service includes:

• On-lead walks
• Off-lead running at parks and beaches
• Basic grooming (eg. brushing, wiping muddy paws)
• A bath (BYO shampoo and conditioner)
• Basic training (eg. sit/stay before food)
• Medication (oral, topical, and intravenous meds)
• Special care to unwell or elderly dogs (eg. I have a pet stroller that your dog can rest in during outings)
• And, last but not least, lots and lots of cuddles!

I never have more than 3 dogs (including my own) in my care. This means that your dog will not be overwhelmed by having too much company, and I will be able to give her/him plenty of individual attention.

I will rarely be absent, plus your pooch will have canine company too, as I have a small dog of my own dog, Lily. 🐾

Speaking of whom, I diligently give Lily a monthly worm/flea tablet (Nexgard Spectra), and she is up-to-date with her C5 and leptospirosis vaccinations. (This is a clean, parasite-free house!) ☀️

I live close to dog-friendly parks and beaches, so your dog will have many adventures while staying with me – and in the car (assuming that your pooch is okay with car rides) I will always secure your dog with a doggie seat belt.

My house has a doggie door leading to a small (but VERY secure) courtyard, and your pooch will have access to all areas of the house - including being able to sleep on my bed at night! Yes, your dog will feel right at home.

I promise, your dog will never be in more responsible and loving care than with me. 💕
