I've grown up with animals and dogs my entire life. I live in a house in Glen iris with a decent size back courtyard and live 2 min walk across the road from Glen Iris Park. I enjoy going for a walk after my morning workout before I start work, so that would take your pet with me. My Housemates are a student and 2 part-time worker, so there would be almost 24/7 care for the pet.
I've trained many of my old pets growing up over the years and understand the importance of the rules set by their owners for their pets (Dietary requirements, reinforcing good habbits & discouraging the bad habbits etc.)
Most important of all, and above all else, your pet will be loved.
Hope to hear from you....
