About Melanie


Hi, I'm Melanie. I'm an oodle lover and owner, dog trainer and competitor in dog sports (obedience and agility).

I specialize in looking after oodles (cavoodles, groodles, bordoodles etc) and small to medium dogs.

I also pet sit small to medium breeding bitches, show dogs, puppies or competition dogs that need extra care, specialized diets or daily training and exercise.
- Fully insured - covering pet services including minding, boarding, training, grooming and walking.
- Police Check

Accommodation: All dogs sleep inside. I can accommodate crate trained dogs or bring your dog's bed and they sleep in the 5th bedroom which is my office/dog room (inside, heated and air conditioned).

Playtime area: There is lots of space outside with a large double undercover outdoor room for training and play time, a grassed back garden, fully fenced front garden and a courtyard on the south side.

Daily exercise: Dogs are walked once or twice a day, morning and/or evening.

Mental stimulation: Playtime sessions twice a day which include ball throwing, IQ toys, kongs and lots of dog toys.

Social interaction: There are usually 2 to 3 dogs here at a time so your dog must get along with other dogs and be well socialised and friendly. Please, no aggressive dogs. If my breeding dogs are in heat I can't take unneautered male dogs.

Optional daily check-ins via WhatsAPP or text message with photos and video.

What to bring: Please bring your dog's own food (or, I can provide Royal Canin kibble and cooked mince and vegetables), bedding (or, I can also provide), lead and any special toys they like to play with.

My dogs: I have a bordoodle and a cavoodle. Both my dogs attend dog obedience/agility weekly, are fully vaccinated, socialized with other dogs and regularly wormed and treated for fleas and ticks.

Rate: The rate is $30 a day for one dog and $40 a day for 2 dogs adjusted based on drop off and collection time.

Extra services if requested: daily brushing/grooming, administering medication, bath and blow dry before pick up.

Brilliant! I would not hesitate to book Melanie again - my baby was taken care of so well and I was able to enjoy my holiday without stressing about my pup. Regular updates were provided and I could tell she had so much fun meeting other doggies. Thank you again Melanie I appreciate it so much…
