Over the past week, I had the pleasure of looking after Louie, the gorgeous Border Collie. He is the sweetest boy, and it’s clear his owners have done an amazing job raising such a well-mannered dog.

That said… Louie does have a few sworn enemies: birds, echidnas (yes, they really do wander around near his home!), and, to be honest, just about anything that dares to move. Safe to say he takes his neighbourhood watch duties very seriously! 🐶

Hi everyone,

Due to some recent cancellations, October 2026 is now available for bookings.

There are also still a few dates available in early December 2026 for those looking to get away before the Christmas holiday period.

If you’re planning ahead for 2027, I still have availability throughout the year, including Australia Day, Easter, and the Christmas/New Year period.

Please note that my pricing will be changing. I’m currently finalising my updated rates, and all new bookings made for dates after 31 December 2026 will be subject to the new pricing.

I’d really appreciate you sharing this post. If you have any questions or would like to secure your dates, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Meet Willow (left) and Rosie (right), two adorable Dachshunds! I’ll be spending the weekend with these two cheeky girls.

You may be wondering what Rosie is wearing. She’s wearing a Thundershirt, which is designed to help dogs manage anxiety by providing gentle, constant pressure—similar to swaddling a baby or using a weighted blanket.

To help make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible, I visited them three times before this weekend so they could get to know me and settle into the process.

The hardest part about this job is saying goodbye to the animals you come to love.

Sadly, on the 12th of July, I received the heartbreaking news that Tex had passed away. I first met him in October 2024, and I had the privilege of caring for him from January 2025.

I’ll always remember the fun we had playing chasey around the house, our little breakfast dates, and his cheeky personality—especially the way he would wriggle around after his baths, and the unforgettable time he somehow ended up at a neighbour’s house while I was out.

Tex was so deeply loved, and his absence will be felt by everyone who knew him.

Run free, beautiful boy. You will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️

I arrived yesterday to revisit Maverick (🐱) Holly (🐴) and Flame (🐴)

The photo of Maverick was taken yesterday but the photos of the ponies was taken last I was here. It’s been soooooo wet that I think they are muddier than the paddock 😭

I arrived yesterday morning so it’s a bit late. I have Snowflake (white bunny) and Harper (Russian Blue Cat) this week. I was told that Harper does hide with strangers but somehow she’s happy with me 🐱🥰
