About James and Paola

Update - we're doing pickups for small group, offleash dog adventures now in our electric van! Mon-Fri, between 9-12 in the morning. If your dog has good recall, loves socializing and you are in or near to the CBD; please get in touch! It has been a lot of fun for all involved and the dogs come back socialized, tired and happy 😁

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you're looking for someone that can make your pet feel enthusiastically happy, cared for and safe while you're away; look no further! Paola and I meet a lot of dogs and often the owners say we are the high point of the dog's week, I think they can tell how happy we are to hang out with them.

We both come from families that had dogs for our whole childhoods, and we're both very happy to deal with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Our last dog was a seriously high energy rescued border collie/retriever cross, so we're used to dealing with exercising and training superhero loony dogs too.

Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or would like to meet up to see how we get on with your pets, that can really help to set your mind at ease that everyone will be happy.

We hope to meet you and your pet soon!

Alfie is super excited when James and Paola arrive to take him for a walk, and comes back happy and well exercised. James has taken some very beautiful photos of a smiling Alfie on his adventures and these are a delight. I highly recommend James and Paola!
