In My Home Dog Minding was established in answer to dog owners’ demands for an alternative to placing their much loved pets into kennels whilst they went on holidays. Based in Colo Heights in the Hawkesbury on the outskirts of Sydney, I offer your beloved pooch a holiday where he/she can live in a home environment, looked after as if he/she were my own. The property is 25 acres, with around 3 fully fenced (6′ cyclone fencing) acres for the dogs to play in. After dark, there is also a fenced house yard (approx 500sqm) they can access.
Your pet has free run of the house, inside and out (via a doggy door), and sleeps where it chooses – on the bed if that’s what it’s used to!
All the dogs are fed a high-quality diet, which includes raw chicken necks, raw chicken frames, larger bones for the bigger dogs, and premium quality dry food. If you pet has a special diet, that can be accommodated.
I also offer a dog grooming service for those doggies that may need a haircut!
Dogs with special needs, such as medical conditions or simply old age will be extremely well looked after as I have had lots of experience with special needs dogs.
What Do I Require From You and Your Dog?
All dogs that come to stay must be desexed and have a current C5 vaccination certificate, which must be sighted at the beginning of the stay. You need to provide any flea/heartworm treatment that may be due while you are away, your dog’s bed or a piece of his/her bedding so it has the familiar smell of home, and emergency contacts numbers. I will provide a tag for your dog’s collar with my contact details.
Your dog MUST be sociable with other dogs, as I do not run a kennel. If you are not sure how your dog will be, please bring him/her for a visit and I can introduce him/her to my own dogs. If your dog simply wants his/her own space that’s fine, but I will NOT accept dog-aggressive dogs.
