We are dog people living in a happy, loving family home.
Our family consists of petsitters, dad and mum (Jason: 50 years and Michelle: 47 years), as well as our daughter, and furbabies Theodore (5 year old Great Dane) and Charleston (4 year old Beaglier).
When we purchased our first home, we didn't feel like it was complete without Harriett, a Saint Bernard puppy. Since, we've been blessed with dogs of all shapes and sizes - Saint Bernards, Beagle/Beaglier, Great Dane and Boxer and have a love for all dogs.
Theordore and Charleston are well socialised and love other dogs. They live inside but also have a big, secure backyard in which to run and play. They are truly part of our family and we just couldn't imagine life without them.
We are very particular about who we'd leave Theodore and Charleston with and understand that it is often difficult to find a sitter for a large breed. We have been lucky in finding sitters in the past and want to provide peace of mind for other pet parents. Our previous experience is in looking after our own pets as well as sitting for family and friends. Jason also worked for the RSPCA as an animal welfare night attendant (assisting with emergencies, handling surrenders, etc.) for a number of years. During that time, we adopted a rescue cruelty case - Matilda - she was a Boxer x Saint Bernard and desperately needed food, love and lots of cuddles. She lived out her days happy, sincerely loved and will a full tummy!
We each work 2-3 days per week from home and can coordinate to always have someone at home if needed. Otherwise, the back lawn is huge, fully fenced and has a large, undercover area/kennel space with dog beds (approx. 5 sqm) where they can freely come and go.
For the wellbeing of our own boys, we welcome fully vaccinated, well-socialised dogs and are very comfortable and capable of administering any required medication. We also have a fully-fenced dedicated dog park nearby....
