About Despina
Meet your little dog's new best friend: ME! 💜
I care for small dogs only (up to 5kg) so your little bundle of fur will not be intimidated by any larger dogs in the house. 👍🏾
Important note: I only take dogs who are desexed, fully vaccinated, and on strict anti-flea and anti-worm treatment. ⭐️
I’m police-checked, based in Brighton-le-Sands (Sydney), and will care for your dog like she/he is my own. 🐕
I have 24+ 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 are flexible - we can discuss this when we chat. ☺️
My service includes:
• On-lead walks
• Basic grooming (eg. brushing, wiping muddy paws)
• A bath (BYO shampoo and conditioner)
• Medication (oral, topical, and intravenous meds)
• And, last but not least, lots and lots of cuddles! 💗
I typically don't have more than 4 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 C7 vaccination. (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, 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 next to my bed at night. Yes, your dog will feel right at home! 🏠
Your dog will never be in more responsible and loving care than with me - I promise. 💕

Mia’s second time with Despina & Lily. She had a ball & crashed out hard when she got home 😂 really appreciate the care & love these two sweet ladies provide to their sleepover buddies. Life long friends in the making !

Despina was fantastic. She took wonderful care of our boy while we were away. We were provided with constant updates and photos and we knew he was in the best of hands. Despina took the dogs out daily for walks and outings and cared for him like he was her own pup. I highly recommend Despina and would have no hesitation using her again.

Despina was exceptional as always! She’s the only person I trust to take care of our two chihuahuas. Despina is always very professional & displays so much love and care for our fur babies! Thanks again Despina!
