FUR HUGS Dog MInding

FUR HUGS Dog MInding WILD about dogs Dogs are my favourite thing in the world and that is no exaggeration. I am now a fully registered Domestic Animal Business.

I grew up with two German Shepherds and was one of those kids who would pat every dog no matter the breed with absolutely no fear. I still do but at least now I have learnt to ask permission first and observe the dog's temperament and body language ;p

In 2018 I decided to set up a casual dog minding service to give me every opportunity possible to cuddle and love as many dogs in my neighbourhood

as I could. I studied Animal Studies at TAFE so I could gain some formal qualificatoons and work experience in a doggy daycare setting and then applied for all the required council permits. My husband and I bought our current property and fenced it with the business in mind. If you need someone to genuinely love and care for your precious furbaby while you're away please don't hesitate to get in touch. I understand that your dog is part of your family and will treat them as if they are part of mine when they are in my care. I will stay in regular touch with you by providing photos and updates throughout the minding period. I will seek all your vet information and your dog's medical history so I can be sure to immediately get care for your dog if I am worried about anything. I have a police check and will arrange to meet you and your pets before you lock in anything formally. I want you to feel comfortable leaving your pets with me as I know I certainly wouldn't leave mine with anyone I didn't trust. I require your dog to be fully vaccinated, flea treated and wormed if they are staying short term at my house as I have two dogs myself. I also require a full medical history printout from your vet, especially if your dog is old or has had previous illnesses. I will not board dogs that have shown any aggressive behaviour in the past to other dogs/people (as I can't risk my own pair being harmed). Check out the different services I offer. (BANNOCKBURN and Batesford area mainly - but Teesdale and Inverleigh by arrangement)

Hi all,
I won't be taking any more bookings for 2025. Fully booked up until early December and will then be moving house. As such, I am not able to book anyone in for 2026 YET, either until I know where I will be moving.

Sorry for any inconvenience. I appreciate all your support and hope to continue minding your gorgeous doggos soon. ;)

Did you have a cup of coffee or tea this morning?
Did you call a friend to catch up?
Watch your favorite show on Netflix?
Take a painkiller when you had a headache?
Go to the gym?
Treat yourself after dinner?
You probably did multiple of these. You can take care of your own needs whenever you choose.
Your dog cannot.
Your dog cannot decide to meet their social needs. They cannot go outside and walk off their energy. They cannot grab a snack or a chew when they’re bored.
They cannot call a doctor when they don’t feel well. They cannot choose to go for a run, see their friends or go swim on their own.
Dogs are captive animals. They depend on us to meet EVERY need in their lives.
And what amazes me is how patient and hopeful they are about it.
They wait for us to take them on a walk. They wait for us to fill their bowl. They wait for us to give them play, comfort, and care.
Sometimes, we forget how extraordinary this relationship is. We forget the sheer weight and privilege of being someone’s entire world.
It's a huge, precious responsibility.
Their lives are so short. And in that short time, they rely on us for everything. And yet they do it SO joyfully, meeting us each day with hope, love, and excitement.
In return, they give us friendship, fun and endless happiness.
Take a moment to just appreciate how extraordinary that is.
So here’s my challenge to you: stop scrolling.
Close Facebook. Put your phone down.
And just take your dog for another walk (today, and every other single day.)
Don’t leave them crated for hours on end. Give them chances to run, sniff, chew, play, and just be your friend.
Because remember: they cannot do ANY of this on their own. Not one single thing. Every need they have depends on you.
Their whole precious life is in your hands.
It's your amazing privilege to make it the very best one.
With the most walks, games, adventures, playtimes and memories.
Don’t ever waste that chance to make it the most amazing life.
