About Rowena

We're super excited about hosting friendly pets in our home and giving them individual care and attention, playing games and getting to know their personality.

After saying goodbye to our much-loved Labrador, my children and I decided we'd like to become occasional pet sitters.

About us:

- Your pet(s) get individual care in a family-like environment

- I work and will be out of the house from 9am-5pm some days

- We have a large securely fenced yard and a large undercover deck for rainy days

- BYO food, bedding, leash and favourite toys

- we are close to the beach and like a good beach walk with a dog!

We are only doing this from time to time (often on school holidays or long weekends), as a way of still being able to enjoy pets around the home! We are selective about which dogs we host and are more likely to accept your booking if:

- your dog is known as a child-friendly breed and has experience with children. (My children are 9 and 12 years old).

- your dog separates easily and is happy at other people's houses. I'm mindful of the neighbours and wouldn't like to leave a constantly barking dog here if we are out or I'm at work.

- your dog is happy to sleep outside or in our laundry

- we prefer dogs over 4 years old who are less likely to be chewers or diggers!

We have had some great dogs over the last few years we've been doing MadPaws, including labradoodles, beagle-spaniels, greyhounds, shih tzu, and we're so pleased to now be getting repeat bookings! It's like welcoming old friends back!
