22.05.2022 WARNING: Dangerous gangs have been seen loitering under overpasses again. Please secure your balls at all times.

04.05.2022 Me telling Boyboy and Lewie to behave themselves while they’re home alone something tells me behave is a new word for them.

21.04.2022 Wednesday crew living their best life

09.04.2022 Toby popped over this afternoon for an impromptu hang, and decided my rug was a great place for a post adventure nap.

31.03.2022 Todays group photo turned out so well. All the doggos were so beautifully behaved today. Check the last pic for the most adorable cuddle puddle ever.

25.01.2022 Cocoa and Truffle gave me so many slobbery kisses through my mask today, it could almost be considered waterboarding.

25.01.2022 First time handling 6 dogs for a session, and all went pretty smoothly. Can you guess which one of these is the most mischievous of the lot?

25.01.2022 If I am ever running low on kisses, these are the two I call upon. Theres just no limit to their smoochery.

24.01.2022 Seriously, such a beautiful day out today. How do you make it better? You invite Arlo of course.

23.01.2022 Arlo showed absolutely no interest in locating the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

23.01.2022 Lucy was super happy that we didnt get rained on today, but still wanted to go for a swim.

23.01.2022 Mr Monty and I enjoyed a nice dinner before getting amongst it and playing with his new puppy friend at the park this afternoon.

22.01.2022 The human took me to the art. It smelled very cultureful.

22.01.2022 I have a few posts to do today, so lets get the bad news out of the way first. Sadly I will have to put the dog walking on hold for the next 6 weeks as part of the Stage 4 Restrictions we are all facing in Melbourne right now. As much as this sucks, I recognise the greater need and respect the hard work that has gone into making these difficult choices. Thank you to all of my wonderful and amazing clients, who have supported me and kept me going during these challenging mont...hs. Looking forward to seeing you all again on the other side of this. Ill think of some cute things to post to keep the page active during this time. Stay safe, stay home, and look after each other. Rob

22.01.2022 Arlo always makes my heart feel happy with that big beaming smile of his.

22.01.2022 My favourite floofy chocolate clouds, Cocoa and Truffle had bundles of energy to expel today, and succeeded with some help from a sassy spoodle and a sneaky schnauzer.

22.01.2022 Today was my last official walk with Lupo, as sadly he will be moving to New Zealand with his ma and pa next week. Unofficially, we will catch up over the weekend for a proper goodbye. So many smiles and laughs thanks to Lupo.

22.01.2022 I realise it's late notice and apologise, but I've been a bit all over the place. If any of you are interested, I'll be hosting a pet fashion parade and competition as part of this wonderful event. Starts at 2:45pm, and is completely free to participate in (free tickets available at www.trybooking.com/BLUSK). The full programme has a wide variety of workshops and activities, plus 4 rooms of DJ's delivering tunes to get your groove going too. I'll be DJ'ing from 1pm.

21.01.2022 Awake or asleep, the cuteness is strong with these two.

21.01.2022 Typical Monty, always putting his hand out for treats.

21.01.2022 They may take our lives ... but theyll never take ... MY DONUT!!!

19.01.2022 Share a pic in the comments of what your pets are up too today? Let's make Monday great again.Share a pic in the comments of what your pets are up too today? Let's make Monday great again.

19.01.2022 Monty spent 80% of our walk today playing with Franklin, and some other furry friends came along for a bit, but just couldnt stand the heat.

18.01.2022 Lots of running around for Cocoa and Truffle today as they explored the Riverside Golf Course.

18.01.2022 Beautiful day for a beautiful walk with this beautiful girl. Gemma is such a sweetie.

18.01.2022 Cuba has come out of his shell and made himself quite cosy around me now. I suspect Momo may take issue with this as she likes to hold my uninterrupted attention.

18.01.2022 First pet sit since we went back into Stage 4 back in July, and I’m not gonna lie, hanging out with Ralphie has been pretty bloody awesome.

17.01.2022 These cuties are always so excited to get down the park and explore. Love Truffle and Cocoa so much.

17.01.2022 You know when youre looking for your glasses when theyre on your head? Happens to dogs as well.

17.01.2022 Just a cheeky Sunday morning hang with Monty and Pip

17.01.2022 This time next week, I’ll be pet sitting Alli & Mae again, but today I got to take them out for a walk, and they always make me smile.

17.01.2022 Arlo and I both wearing our happy faces today, even if you cant see mine.

17.01.2022 Pip is a playful machine, always wanting new friends, so I introduced her to Stormi today. I dont need to tell you how much fun they had, as you can see for yourself.

17.01.2022 Today, Monty met Monty, which was cute up till when we were trying to leave and both Monty’s thought they were being called by both humans. Confused puppers was the result.

16.01.2022 Cheeky Monty enjoying the sunshine and some frisbee time.

16.01.2022 Somebody looks devilishly handsome in his designer label raincoat in sports car red, and yes, he does have swagger, cause hes got the moves like Jagger.

16.01.2022 Boyboy and Lewie have such incredible energy at the park which always makes me smile.

16.01.2022 Now I have both Momo and Cuba happily climbing over me whenever they see fit.

16.01.2022 Today was my last day looking after Alli and Mei, and I didn’t get any nice photos of them this morning, so here’s a short video of Alli & Mei reacting to their food time.

16.01.2022 Lucy was very excited by the water, until it started coming from the sky.

15.01.2022 Adventure 1 for Monty today. Life is all about the fun and games for this goose.

15.01.2022 Arlo enjoyed a longer walk today so we covered lots of ground, sniffed some good stuff, and had a little photo shoot by the looks of it.

15.01.2022 It’s the simple things in life that make this handsome boy happy.

15.01.2022 Bitch please ... I brought sexy back well before Timberlake.

15.01.2022 Arlo’s grand plans for 2020 turned into pipe dreams. Same for you?

15.01.2022 Say hello to Henrietta (Henri), the German Short Haired Pointer, who’s not only a beautiful and energetic girl, but my newest client.

15.01.2022 Arlo was a grumpy anxious growl monster today who wasnt in much of a dog friendly mood. Then we met Stormy, and much like the plot of a romance novel, the pretty girl tamed the bad boy.

15.01.2022 We weren’t allowed to start our walk until Maggie had a sufficient amount of playtime with Nacho.

14.01.2022 This is Percy, who I dropped in on to give some dinner and cuddles to this evening. The little poser was very happy to see me, and you must see the last photo of Percy seeing me off at the door.

13.01.2022 Funny Face Friday - add a funny face pet photo in the comments

13.01.2022 So now Im set up to provide services for essential workers and people with disabilities as their needs arise, I was able to spend some time with an old friend before meeting a new client. Love my hangs with Arlo.

12.01.2022 First time walking Gemma in a few months, and her parents have done an amazing job with her on the lead. Such a gorgeous girl.

12.01.2022 These pretty posers showing off their fabulous new hairstyles with grace and glamour at the park today. Looks like an ad for dog shampoo.

12.01.2022 Maggie and Pip had the best time today, playing, wrestling, and making new friends.

11.01.2022 Friday crew today was Pip, Cocoa and Truffle. It was pretty hot out there today so mostly wandered and explored. Nothing too rigorous.

11.01.2022 Haven’t seen Uma in aaaaages, so it was lovely to see that beautiful smiling face again.

11.01.2022 Such a picture perfect day for my weekend walk with Pip, and last catch up with Lupo before his relocation to New Zealand. Been walking both Pip and Lupo since they were 3 months old and theyve become close friends over that time. Wishing you all the best Lupo, my furry wingman.

11.01.2022 Another Pip & Arlo kind of morning, enjoying the weather being a little cooler for furious running around.

10.01.2022 Finishing up my pet sit with Junior today. He’s been such a lovely boy to chill with, and I’m glad he likes me.

10.01.2022 Gave Arlo a good solo run before picking up Kodi to join the action. Arlo still just chased frisbee while Kodi made lots of new friends.

10.01.2022 When your lack of sheepdog experience is cruelly exposed on your first day. : Imgur user WOBaskerville

10.01.2022 Im no art expert, but I think Ive been ripped off.

10.01.2022 Arlo was in excellent company today with some fellow fetchers, and one poor husky that couldn’t understand why the ball was more important than friendship.

10.01.2022 *** BUSINESS PUPDATE *** Just some important updates that I'd like to share with you all, but before I do, I would like to express my gratitude and thanks to everyone who has supported me in this endeavour. I've always loved animals so very much, so to be in a position now where I get to spend every day sharing that love with your fur babies, well it fills my heart with the good feels. :) - Dog Walking / Pet Visits... I have made the decision recently to bump up the price of my Dog Walking and Pet Visiting services slightly, to reflect the increased cost of providing this service since I started 2 years ago. These prices won't come into effect till the 1st Jan 2021, allowing plenty of time to adjust and take advantage of the current rate. I have also offered an extended walk rate, so if your pooch is extra energetic and needs even more work to wear out, I am happy to oblige. :) - House and Pet Sitting Back in June, I formalised a pricing structure for the Pet Sitting Services, and that will remain unchanged as we head into 2021. With the easing of restrictions, I've started to get some pet sitting bookings come through, so I've attached those dates and invite you shoot me a message if you'd like to discuss this further. Pet Sitting bookings currently require a deposit to be confirmed, as I've had the unfortunate experience of taking a booking, turning down a number of enquiries for similar dates, then have the booking cancel at the last minute. - Christmas Day I will be around and available on Christmas Day, and last year spent a great portion of my day feeding kitties that were enjoying having the house to themselves while the humans visited family and friends. If you suspect you'll be doing the same, please feel free to make a booking as this day can fill up quickly. - Full Day Doggy Adventures I have an idea, and I'd love to know if it's something you'd be interested in for your dog. Essentially I would do pick up's in the morning, take the doggies somewhere outside of Melbourne to a dog friendly nature park or beach to enjoy a lovely hike and swim. Then treat them to a dog friendly picnic with some light treats for them. Then some more relaxed play in the afternoon before returning back to drop off in the afternoon. Each adventure would be different, some longer than others, some maybe more suited to different dogs, but a nice and exciting little adventure for the pooches. Please let me know in the comments if this is something you'd be interested in for your dog, or if you have any feedback or suggestions. - Finally Thank you again, and I'm only ever a message away should you have any questions or concerns. Thanks and regards, Rob the Animal Lover

10.01.2022 You boop my nose again human, I’ll use your finger as a tooth pick.

09.01.2022 This handsome devil in sheeps clothing is Monty the Groodle, though when hes in trouble Ill be calling him Montague. My newest client and one very happy puppy.

09.01.2022 Saturday’s collection of Ralphie cuteness. He’s such a cheeky boy, but I love him.

09.01.2022 Toast, Saffy, Ando & Tora all got fed the nummies and had their business boxes scooped one last time this morning before their preferred humans return today. I’ll be back looking after them properly in early January (possibly not Toast if adopted), so prepare for unrelenting fun and party times.

08.01.2022 Crappy weather doesnt get between us and happy times.

07.01.2022 Arlo and Pip enjoying a good dose of socialisation and catching stuff yesterday.

07.01.2022 Oodles of fun with Cocoa and Truffle the oodles.

06.01.2022 Such a gorgeous day today with Monty, who made a new friend in Truffle and played some rugby with the big boys. Btw, if you have Instagram, go and give Monty a follow to see more of his cuteness. @onlymonty009

06.01.2022 *** BUSINESS UPDATE *** Pet Sitting - Just a quick note to advise I’m fully booked out for the remainder of 2020, and already starting to fill up fast for 2021. Please see attached for my availability at the time of posting, and get in touch if you’re looking to get away for a break next year. Price Increase - Just a friendly reminder about my dog walks and home pet visits increasing from $25 to $30 on the 1st January 2021, though I will likely update the Facebook page to ref...lect the new pricing sooner. I may even offer a bulk sale bundle of 2021 bookings at 2020 prices prior to the new year. Pooch Mobile Supplies - A massive thank you to Vicki (Coca & Truffle’s mum) who has generously donated pre-loved bedding to partially fit out the car for doggy transport. Before I go and purchase new items, I thought it’s worth asking you all if you have any pre loved dog bedding, towels, brushes, a dog ramp, or any other accessories you’re thinking of parting with. Sits With Pets Calendar - Are you planning to make 2021 better than 2020 (if you said it can’t be worse, you’re tempting fate)? If you haven’t yet committed yourself to the Sexy Shirtless Firefighters calendar, then you should strongly consider grabbing our Hot Dogs of the Year calendar, which will feature some of the adorable pooches I’ve had the pleasure of walking throughout 2020. Interwebs & Technobizzy Stuff - I’m currently working on a Sits With Pets website, and ways to streamline and automate appointment, pet sit booking, and admin to make things a little easier for .. well me actually, but that will translate to more time for your fur babies when they’re with me. Christmas Cat Feeding - If you’re going to try and slip away to see family at Christmas time, and will be away overnight or for a couple of days, I’ll be available to assist with visits to give your kitty food, pats, attention, and some poop scooping action. This service also books up very fast, so please get in touch to secure your spot early.

06.01.2022 Gemma just living her best life.

06.01.2022 Going to be completely honest with you all folks. COVID has reduced pet sitting by 100% and dog walking by 85%, and compiled with some unpleasant and unforeseen expenses which have arisen, things are tough and challenging here at the moment. If you live in the neighbourhood and have a doggy whod benefit from some extra exercise and attention, please consider engaging me to assist you here. If youre concerned about price, reach out anyway and Ill do my best to accommodate y...ou. Another way you can assist during this time is to share this post on your page or in your networks. One of my lovely clients shared a post a few weeks ago and it brought me a new client, so it can definitely make a difference. Thank you in advance. Im not great at asking for help, but Ive finally found something I have both passion and capacity for, so I hope to weather this storm and still be doing this when things start returning to normal.

05.01.2022 This fills my heart with so much happiness. Im not a qualified dog trainer, and I always make sure that is clear with all my engagements. What I am though is a dog lover who has met, walked, played with, and looked after over 100 dogs now. So when I first met Arlo, this handsome rescue who adored people but was super growly, very anxious, and a bit aggressive toward other dogs, his humans and I had a chat about whats already been tried and what strategies we could al...l use together to help him find comfort and friendship with his own kind. Here we are 2 months later with Arlo and Pip having the most amazing and pleasant time together. Arlos list of friends keeps growing with every adventure, and even though hes not my boy, I feel like such a proud parent seeing him socialise and play so well with his new friends. Special thanks and mentions to Pip of course, who has such a friendly nature and remarkable ability to match the energy level of the dogs around her. If this post warms your heart too, give it a share and spread that sweet doggy love around.

04.01.2022 If you’re needing any excitement and enthusiasm, see Cocoa and Truffle, as they have both in abundance.

04.01.2022 Bailey is still finding his social skills and is a little nervous, but is also quite happy sniffing and exploring around on his own as well.

03.01.2022 Suns out, tongues out for Arlo, Cocoa & Truffle.

03.01.2022 The face of a happy and well exhausted Monty after some sunshine and shenanigans.

03.01.2022 Adventure 2 with Monty, brought him to a friends birthday party. Doesn’t he look happy to be included?

02.01.2022 Doggy kisses make everything better, right?

02.01.2022 Is it just me, or does Arlo look like hes the face of a campaign against pretending to throw the ball?

01.01.2022 Monty had the pleasure of meeting Zaidee this afternoon for a lovely sunset walk, sniff and play before trying to pick up a big stick and having a little rest before tucking into dessert.

01.01.2022 Maggie wasn’t thrilled her Mumma had to work today, but was very happy to make the most of it and come enjoy the sun for a bit.

01.01.2022 Kodi’s first impressions of the rain weren’t great, but outside time is still outside time.
