It is not easy to part with your furry friend if you are a frequent traveller; even if you are going away once a year or more frequently. It can also be a challenge to ascertain who you can really trust to housesit for you and look after you dog/s at the same time: to ensure they are well fed, groomed and also most importantly - they are receiving the right exercise: they are being taken out for walks and so on also in order to avoid boredom and mischief.
There are a few credible dog boarding kennels in Melbourne, although this establishment is a great alternative; a source that a friend of mine is currently using as she is overseas getting married right now, and that source is
Top Dog Minders where your dog/s actually stay with a loving and fully trained dog minder; where yes your dog is not locked up, and their diet is still catered to, and you are allowed to bring your dogs favourite toys and so on to this establishment.
Or to drop off your dog/s at Melbourne Airport at Tullamarine before checking in for your relevant flight; to an establishment that is also luxury for your pet; a pet hotel recommended by over 119 vets with over 30 years experience, is the
Hanrob Pet Hotel with a selection of playtime options, and an aromatherapy bath enjoyed by each dog while you are away for business and/or leisure.
And Port Melbourne came to mind (maybe because one will soon be moving there with a dog) is the
Pets Hotel for more short terms stays with a doggy spa and obedience lessons so your pooch/es continue to be well behaved when they are back in your own backyard.
