WELCOME TO OUR PAGE! Thank you for checking out our profile.
We provide 24hr supervision for your furry babies! Our level of experience that we provide means that we may charge more than your average pet sitter. However our level of care is impeccable.
We LOVE to capture your pet's funny moments on camera. We regularly photography your pet/s and send updates.
Karleigha has recently become a qualified pet first aid responder. She completed her training through the Australian Red Cross in February 2023 to improve the level of safety that we can provide to your animal/s.
We have four rules that we require all pet owners to abide by. Please make yourself familiar with them:
1). We can have multiple bookings that can overlap. So please don't book with us if you're not comfortable with your dog socialising with our family dog Rocky, or with another dog.
2). We DON'T ALLOW PET OWNERS to visit inside our house due to Covid-19 safety precautions at any time DURING A DOG'S BOOKING.
3). WE DON'T OFFER our toilet facilities either to pet owners. But we recommend you using the toilets located at Thornton McDonald's or Thornton 7-Eleven petrol station (as it's less than 5 minutes away).
4). So, PLEASE DON'T BE OFFENDED when you hear us say NO if you ask us to visit inside our residence, or to use our bathroom facility.

WELCOME TO OUR PAGE!
Thanks for checking us out. We are a family of four and dog sitting is one of our many passions in life.
For the most part of the booking, you will be communicating with Karleigha regarding all the paperwork to sign beforehand. But during a meet and greet, you will most likely be dealing with Scott or Sue. Karleigha also works as a disability worker during administrative work, so she's away from the property. But she's always available to message if you have any questions both before, during or after a booking.
She's more than happy to help you determine what service is suitable for you and your pet/s.
Karleigha is usually the one behind the camera taking all the photos of Sue and Scott interacting with the dogs. Karleigha is always just a message away and regularly checks her emails and Madpaws notifications.
Karleigha, Matt and Scott all possess experience with caring for birds, dogs, cats and fish (cold watered and tropical fish).
At our house, we have a medium sized front yard that is securely fenced. We have a two way gate system to ensure that no pet is able to absconder.
We also have a large front veranda that your pet/s can roam around on when it's raining outside. Your dog/s will stay be able to explore the outdoors during rain, hail or shine. Our pet Rocky loves to sit back on the veranda during the early mornings and late afternoons.
We have experience caring for pet birds. Karleigha and Matt own a green cheek conure and a fantail pigeon. The green cheek conure loves to take showers in her water bowl. The conure has an unoriginal name of 'Girl Bird'. She loves to sit on Matt's shoulder and observe him cooking in the kitchen. She also loves to steal food from the kitchen when Matt is not watching. She has a cheeky attitude.
Fantail pigeons are known for their docile and friendly personality, however Boppy isn't friendly. Boppy is territorial of his bird cage. His favourite treats are corn, spinach and sunflower seeds.
Back when I (AKA Karleigha) was younger, we owned x2 rough hair collie dogs, a long-haired Chihuahua and x2 small terrier cross breeds. All of these dogs have now passed, but we still hold fond memories of them.
Both Karleigha and Scott can administer oral and topical medication to your pet/s. We can also administer the food by hiding it in your desired food of choice.
We always send regular updates to every pet owner about their animal's welfare and day-to-day activities. We understand how nervous it can be to leave your pet in the care of a stranger for the first time.
Matt has undergone intensive training to become a Madpaws pet sitter with us. He's been learning on the job through hands on experience. He's able to care for birds, fish, dogs and cats. He's highly versatile....
