In-home dog boarding and daycare in Melbourne's inner-western suburbs
Do you need someone to watch your new puppy while you're at work?
If you want personalised care for your furry family member, then I'm the person for you. I have been caring for dogs professionally in my home for over five years, and I have a dog of my own that can play with your dog(s) too.
I offer Daycare for dogs that need smaller, more intimate/personalised care that mass-market Doggie Daycare facilities can’t cater to.
I also offer overnight Boarding in my home where they can have full run of my home and yard, and sleep inside a warm (or air-conditioned) house.
Maybe you just want your dog to have a better quality of life, with space to run and play with other socialised dogs.
Do you need someone to care for your dog while you're away on holiday?
Requirements
I only take on socialised dogs that are:
-
Fully Vaccinated
-
Desexed
-
Treated for fleas and other parasites
(eg. given Nextgard Spectra each month)
I cannot take dogs that are:
-
Aggressive
-
Mark inside
-
Are destructive (they like to destroy things)
-
Jumpers
Puppies
Puppies need to be as vaccinated as they can be for their age.
I can only take on male dogs that are not desexed if they are five months or younger
If you have a male dog that is over six months old and they are not desexed, then I'm sorry but I cannot take your dog.
Testimonials
Raz is a really caring dog sitter.

Could not recommend Raz highly enough. Had a great meet and greet where Xena went for an introductory walk with Raz.
Very easy drop off and pick up. Xena felt right at home with Raz. We got regular updates during her stay and details of all the friends she was making. I'd be happy for Xena to stay with Raz again during our next holiday.

Clover had a great time with Raz. She sent me photos of Clover while we were away.
I felt a lot better leaving Clover with Raz instead of using a kennel.
I will definitely use her again.

Saga came home calm and happy from her sleepover with Raz. Extra respect for chilling my bouncy puppy out! That takes care and skill. Highly recommended.

We love having Raz look after Ruby. The photos and updates are great as we can see she is having a great time and is being well looked after.
Thanks Raz (and sorry for the dirty paws all over the washed floor...). We will definitely book again!

This was the first time Tina has spent nights away from home and she had a great time.
Raz sent us updates and pictures to help make a couple of nervous parents feel at ease. We will definitely use Raz again!

Raz was a fantastic dog sitter!
My partner and I dropped him off while we went out in Melbourne and I could not be happier with the experience.
Raz took him to the park where he had a ball, fed him and gave him lots of cuddles and attention.
Highly recommend Raz as an excellent dog sitter. We will absolutely be dropping Gus off again next time we're in melbourne.
Thanks again Raz!

Raz was fantastic- I couldn't be happier with the whole process.
Vegas was extremely well looked after and cared for! She was so relaxed when we went to pick her up I wasn't sure she would come home.
Raz was so considerate and flexible, the communication was easy and I knew Vegas was in safe hands.
Will definitely be using Raz again and recommending to others. Thank you!!

Raz has looked after our 6month old whippet 1-2 times a week since we got him, due to some SA issues. She has been incredibly flexible with times and extremely good with communication.
It's obvious she cares a lot about the dogs in her charge, taking them for walks and runs and helping maintain any training techniques you might be working on.
Our doggo comes home absolutely spent from a day of good dog times. When we saw him snuggled up to Raz's head one night when we went to pick him up, it was clear the feeling is mutual.

We would highly recommend Raz! She was very friendly and knowledgeable and also incredibly accommodating when our holiday plans meant an extra two nights without notice. Raz was flexible with extending for an extra two days... we know Ruby was incredibly well look after and was given all of the love and attention we had hoped for. Definitely will rebook in future.
