Ɓoth my husband and I have had many years of experience with dogs in our families. Our children grew up with a wonderful poodle x called Charlie sadly passed. We currently have a 3 year old whippet called Kobe who is our little shadow. He is a kind and gentle soul who loves to play with toys and other dogs. Can arrange a meeting at the park for a meet and greet for any potential day stays and overnights to see if they are a good match.
We have a good size garden which is fully fenced. We live on the edge of Waipuna Park so have lots of opportunities for great walks. Also we love a long beach walk and a paddle in the sea. Walks usually 30-60 minutes twice a day. Happy to consider small/medium size dogs or sight hounds. We probably prefer adult dogs. Unfortunately no puppies. 
Happy to have your furbaby sleep in our room if staying overnight. We are a quiet laid back household. We have dog beds outside for lounging in the sun and watching the world go by.
Available for Friday to Sunday overnight or day stays on weekends and public holidays.  Will always give you a call if any issues. Happy to transport to a vet in case in emergency. We will take great care and treat as our own.
