Hi, my name is Clair and I would love to accommodate your dog at my home in Willunga. I can provide boarding or daycare for up to three dogs from the same household. Dogs must be desexed.
Willunga is a beautiful, peaceful historic township with picturesque areas for walking including the country lanes and cycle tracks.
Day care is 'open' from 0900 untill 1700. Extra hours can be available for a surcharge. A walk(s) is included during daycare at no extra cost. Depending on your dog's needs a walk can be up to 90 minutes twice a day as most dogs enjoy a good sniff around especially in a new environment.
For hosting drop off is anytime from 0800, and pick up is the same time as drop off. If you require longer than that, this can be arranged for an hourly rate, or by booking day care for that day - which ever is cheaper.
Please note that I strictly cannot accept dogs who are accustomed to sleeping in owners bedrooms, or who are reguarly wakeful during the night. Dogs must be happy to sleep in the lounge room by themselves. Please also note that I cannot accept dogs with seperation anxiety.
I have a great selection of quality toys to suit all breeds and chewing 'levels'. I often stuff Kongs with human grade fresh steak to provide a stimulating activity, and special treat, which exercises jaws, cleans teeth and is a source of allergy free nutrition. I have plenty of puzzle toys to provide stimulation and combat boredom.
Your dog will be looked after indoors. I am at home during the day and can provide lots of company, playtime and walks. I have air conditioning and heating, so the temperature inside will always be comfortable. Dogs are brushed as necessary.
I have a front lawn for free play in a secure fenced yard. Your dog will be walked reguarly, and if appropriate taken to a suitable area for an off leash run.
I have a background in working for Guide Dogs SA. My role included boarding puppies in training, and assisting with their training. I had my own beautiful Labrador for 13 years.
My ten year old granddaughter often stays with me, therefore your dog(s) must be tolerant of children. She understands that dogs need personal space, and she behaves respectfully towards them. She enjoyed helping with the trainee Guide Dogs, and she developed some understanding of canine needs and behaviour during this time.
Please bring your dog's main meal, clean bed, and leash. I provide healthy snacks including cartilage bones such as brisket and chunks of filet steak. I also provide all toys, feeding bowls and poop bags. I have slow-feeder bowls for dogs who tend to eat too fast.
If you prefer, I can provide freshly laundered bedding if you'd rather leave your dog's bed at home. For dogs who sleep on the couch at home, they're welcome to sleep on my couch too. I have snuggly blankets, and lambs wool rugs on the couch, so it's very cosy. These are laundered after each dog's visit.
*Please note that there are surcharges for weekends.
*Public holidays, the Christmas period, and the Easter period are double rates except for any additional dogs, for which the charge remains the same.
Please enquire if you have any questions.
I look forward to taking care of your treasured pets.
Warmly
Clair
