Hi, I have always had dogs, they have always been an important part of my family. I've been looking after friends' dogs for sometime and now I am semi-retired, it has grown into a regular thing! Lots of my current clients are regulars and love coming to their second home. I have a fully enclosed back yard, lots of comfortable couches inside and out, and lots of dog toys. Overnight stayers have lots of choices on where to sleep, including my bed. The overnight stay is for 24 hours, and I am happy to offer an extra day looking after your dog should you need to organise a later pick up time. I am flexible as to pick up and drop off times - early mornings are part of this household. I have previously worked for the SPCA - animal welfare is important to me. Shannon is the resident dog. She is nearly 15, and the most tolerant and friendly retriever poodle cross. She brings a calming influence to newcomers. The greenbelt is very close which is great for dog walking including an off leash area. I look forward to welcoming your dog into my place.
