About Brendan

I am Brendan a 39-year-old doggie dad who works from home all week. I live with my wife Christine, who also works from home occasionally, and no kids so a relaxing environment. We have one small dog, Jimmy. We love looking after dogs and Jimmy loves meeting new furry friends.

Our place has 4 bedrooms with a small, fully fenced backyard, so there is plenty of space for dogs to play but also downtime. Our house also backs onto an off-lead dog park and is close to the beach and other dog parks suitable for walks. Jimmy is an indoor dog who loves getting comfy on the couch, so your dog can expect the same treatment!

With Jimmy and I being home most of the week, we are looking for small dog company that we can hang out with. During the day, the dogs will be supervised at all times while they snooze and keep each other company. Once it's 4pm the dogs will be exercised as required and have unlimited cuddles and attention. Especially once Christine gets home from work.

If your fur baby is staying overnight, they can stay in their own bed/crate or in our room with Jimmy. Include any favourite things so they can have a taste of home, we also have plenty of toys Jimmy is willing to share.

We are also happy to provide lots of pics for peace of mind!

Requirements: Your dog needs to be house trained, up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatments and good with other dogs. Boarding covers a 24-hour period, if longer than 24 hours a daycare rate is also required.

Sent photos while we were away which was much appreciated. Kobe looked like he had a good time with Brendan and doggos.
