Petdirect Grand Opening Photos! 📸

Click the link in our bio to download your pup’s photos! 🐶

I absolutely loved being part of this event and meeting so many lovely people and their pups!

This photoshoot was definitely out of my comfort zone. I’m usually out in nature, snapping away at dogs doing what they do best, so stepping into a studio-style setup was something completely different!

I actually did a lot of photography as part of my degree, and picking up the camera again in ways I haven’t for a while feels like rediscovering a little part of myself that I’d lost along the way.

Being a perfectionist, I’ve already got a long list of things I’d do differently next time, but that’s all part of growing! I’m excited to keep practising, improving and hopefully doing more of these in the future.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and let me capture their beautiful pups! 🐾❤️

Take the Lead QT Updates 🐾

Just wanted to do a little check-in with you all because there’s been a few changes behind the scenes at TTLQT lately 💛

You may have noticed your invoices are now coming from the lovely Liv — she’s officially back for round 4, this time as our bookkeeper 📚

For the last 6 weeks, TTLQT has also been running as a one-woman dog walking team. That’s meant smaller capacity, longer days, and doing our best to fit in as many happy doggos as possible 🐶

We’ve also said goodbye to our 4WD vans. With fuel prices continuing to rise, we made the decision to downsize the fleet and move to more fuel-efficient vehicles rather than increase our prices (despite everyone telling us to 😂). Keeping our services affordable for our clients was really important to us.

As we head into the shorter winter days, we may need to reduce capacity a little further. I want to continue giving every dog the time, care, and attention they deserve — while also trying not to completely burn myself out with 10-hour no-break days 😅

The goal is to bring another amazing team member on board in the future, but only when we find the perfect fit for our fluffy friends 🐾

Thank you all for the continued support, patience, and trust. This little business means the world to me, and I genuinely appreciate every single one of you 💛

Remembering Milo 🤍

Last week we lost our little old lady Milo. She absolutely stole our hearts and we have loved looking after her in her golden years. She always wanted to be by your side (especially if there were snacks) and was the best hot water bottle you could find. Life was a little quieter this weekend without her stomping around next to Tyga ❤️‍🩹

A short but sweet week ☺️ hope everyone’s having a lovely long weekend! 🐾
