Hi, I’m Adele! 

I’ve just moved to Melbourne from New Zealand, and while I’m loving my new home, I’m really missing my 7‑year‑old spoodle who will be joining me later this year. Until then, I’d love to offer my time, care, and experience to other people’s pups.

I owned a dog‑grooming business in NZ (Pup Culture Dog Groomers) for almost five years, so I’m confident with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Handling dogs is second nature to me.

I live in a friendly share house with four other dog‑loving housemates, and we have a small, fully fenced backyard. The house has wooden stairs, and my bedroom (where your dog will be sleeping) is on the second floor. I work from home two days a week, so your dog will have plenty of company and supervision. Between the four of us, there is usually someone home, so your furry friend won’t be left alone for long periods of time. My room has enough room for dog crate or bed - i am also happy for dogs to sleep on my bed (as you can see from my photos my dog loooooved my bed).

I love getting out for walks or runs and exploring Melbourne. I’m happy to tailor walks to your dog’s needs — anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. My own dog wasn’t a runner, so I’m used to adjusting to whatever pace suits them best. We have an off‑leash park a five‑minute walk from the house, and the Docklands waterfront is also nearby. I also love taking photos so am more than happy to send you pictures during your dogs stay/out on our adventures.

If you’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and genuinely dog‑obsessed, I’d love to help care for your furry friend.
