About Melissa

We are a small family who enjoy spending time with animals and offer our home as a safe, fun environment for your little fury friends to stay - a loving home away from home! We are home the majority of the time so they will have plenty of company. And we'll ensure your pet feels like part of the family :-)

We primarily look after small-medium sized dogs, but can also look after other small animals and large dogs.

We have a large, fully-fenced yard (part grassed, part paved) and extra-large undercover patio to shelter from sun/rain. Based in a quiet street in Kedron, we are a short walk from a park and a lovely dog park, and the Kedron Brook is a short drive (<10mins). Depending on your pets likes, we love to get out and about, or we can simply play at home if that's preferred.

As we do have young children, pets need to be family friendly please. The children love to play with the animals, but we are also happy to keep that to a minimum if preferred - we understand some pets may not like too much attention.

We ask that you supply your dogs preferred bed, food/water bowls and any favourite toys to help make them feel secure and at home (it's nice to have some familiar items when settling at a new place), together with their collar and lead. But we do also have a range of toys here to play with to keep them entertained, plus spare food bowls and bedding. And of course, please provide their usual food and any favourite treats.

Lastly, we will always send little updates and photos to you throughout your pets stay, so you know what they've been up to each day, what they've particularly enjoyed doing, how they've been coping etc. We know it can be an anxious time for you too, going away without your precious pet :-)...
