About Christine
**IMPORTANT!! If a booking is accepted, payment must be made within 48 hours to confirm the booking. I am unable to hold bookings without payment as this could impede other prospective bookings.
**Please Note: I am able to mind only ONE dog at a time. I have a senior aged little JR, and I need to take her needs into consideration (though don't tell her she is nearly 15!) She gets on absolutely great with visiting small dogs(refer photos), and besides, that way, your little dog will get my full attention. Plus I have recently added a Jack Russell pup to my family - active but friendly pup (born April 2021), doing well with training.
Having recently retired, and after doing some traveling for house and horse sits throughout South East Qld, it's time to stay home and mind some lovely little dogs for their owners to get away.
I have recently installed a 6-8' Colorbond fence, I offer a safe secure yard with plenty of room for your little mate to play and run in. And it IS escape proof! From the owner of a true Houdini, this yard has finally beaten her! My house is also in a very quiet safe area. Lots of doggie beds, toys, shelter, water bowls, etc.
Being retired, I am home all day. I live in a flat area, close to a lovely park should your dog need a walk (NO extra charge and only if you want your dog to have a walk, and I do not let visiting dogs off the lead). My yard has plenty of cover, back patio has a doggy door, no garden, and dog can have access to the house. I am more than happy to mind senior dogs, dogs with ailments (deaf, blind, medication, post op, etc). My older Jack Russell is extremely well behaved, very gentle, well trained and LOVES company, but I do need to stipulate - I am only able to mind small/smaller breed dogs. Care for puppies upon individual requests, but again, only small breeds.
I also offer pick up and drop off if needed - I will need to discuss this individually with clients.
Please note that overnight rate is per 24 hours, though an extra hour or 2 acceptable. To drop off at 7.00am one day and pick up 8.00pm the next day is both an overnight charge, and a day charge.
