We are a pet-loving family who would love to care for your beloved fur-babies. I am happy to come to your home, or welcome your dog into our family.
I am a part-time veterinarian and am studying memberships in veterinary behaviour, so have a special interest in dogs with behaviour problems who might need extra attention. I'm also happy to care for pets that need medications or have medical needs requiring close observation.
I can care for pets in our home with our 4kg small terrier Tommy, however they would need to be okay with two boys who are 10 years old and 8 years old. Both children are well-versed in being kind to dogs and we have had many foster pets and animals in the past that they have gotten to know. They know to be respectful of pets who do not like close contact with children and prefer to watch from a distance unil they get comfortable.
Dogs are definitely okay to sleep on the bed here, or wherever they are comfortable. We have a large doggy-door which is always open, so pets are allowed to come and go as they please.
We have a fenced yard, however the fences would not be suitable for a dog who likes to jump, the back fence is only 4ft high in places. We also back onto a reserve and walking path, which is lovely for dogs who like a view, but probably not ideal for a dog who likes to bark at people walking past!
We tend to keep Tommy inside during the day if there are lots of people walking past, so we would be happy to do the same with your pooch if this would work.
Tommy loves to play, but also likes his downtime. He is not too crazy, but will play with other dogs who enjoy tug-o-war or chasies.
I am also happy to stay at your home or visit to feed and walk your pets, subject to availability....
