Our home

We have a gentle miniature poodle who is a little older but also can be full of playful energy. He is an anxious pooch so might like to sit next to you on the sofa or even on the bed, however his own bed is available in both situations. Only needs very short walks.
We live in a lovely part of inner Melbourne near the Botanic gardens in South Yarra that's a good spot for cafes and walks.
We live in a spacious downstairs apartment in an owner's block of 3 with lovely neighbours.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

What I love the most is living between the Botanic gardens and Fawkner park and so close to the city of Melbourne I can walk there through the gardens.

Hi everyone, I had the pleasure to look after lovely Shanti at Lana's home in Sth Yarra. I had already met Shanti prior to looking after him so we became friends very quickly. Shanti was wonderful company while I worked from home and we had our daily walk around the stunning botanical gardens! Lana's home was very comfortable and I felt at home straight away. Communication was smooth and easy and a shout out to Lana's daughter who was so kind and very helpful ☺️!! Lana and her family ...

Lana and her family were very warm and friendly people and I would be more than happy to recommend and dog sit for them again!

I absolutely loved my stay with Shanti a black miniature poodle. Shanti was an absolute delight to look after and great company too! His playful and affectionate nature was so adorable. I already miss him! Lana and Tony live close to the Botanic gardens in a lovely apartment. Shanti and I enjoyed our daily walks in the beautiful gardens. Lana and Tony - Thankyou for allowing me to look after your beautiful Shanti. I look forward to coming back again! Mary 😊
Thanks Mary, looking forward to seeing you again very soon.
Looking after Shanti was a delight! He was an easy dog to take care of and it was difficult to say goodbye after a week. Lana and Tony’s home was beautiful and the location across from the Botanical Gardens was ideal. Despite a week of bad weather I felt so comfortable in their spacious home. What could be better - being warm and cosy snuggling up to Shanti on the couch. I hope I have the opportunity to housesit again as Shanti is truly one of a kind. Thank you Lana and Tony.
