Millie’s Small Dog Sitting Service

Millie’s Small Dog Sitting Service In MY HOME pet sitting service for SMALL breeds of dogs ONLY. Dogs get to just be dogs here! Located in Keperra, Inner North Brisbane. I am FULLY INSURED.

SMALL DOG ONLY Dog Sitting Service that provides an in MY home experience for your furry friends. We ask that all dogs that visit are fully vaccinated, up to date with flea and worming treatments and DESEXED. Excessive barkers will not be tolerated, as this is a home environment with neighbours. Daily doggy daycare from 7:00am -6:00pm weekdays. Early/Late pickups and drops off by appointment. CLOS

ED ON SUNDAYS! This is my HOME, so there is a $5 fee for peeing/pooping inside. This covers chemicals. Vacation care as requested. Book your vacation times FAST. I book really quickly so if you know your dates, then please get in touch asap. Your dog sleeps in our beds/bedrooms/on couches/their bed/crate/wherever they like. ALL Pickups must be before 10am or the daycare fee for that day is added to your bill. Dogs being dogs is the main stay of what I do here. Being able to choose to play, choose who they play with and when, is a big part of it. We appreciate dogs who set boundaries and dogs who respect others boundaries. I have many clients who have rescue dogs, anxious dogs and here to be socialised. I have a great track record working with these types of dogs. My dogs are all rescues and came with their own challenges, they are:
Dukee and Diesel the Tibetan spaniels and Blind Queen Molly, a blind Maltese. Due to my disabilities, we do not do walks, but the yard is large enough and they get plenty of exercise. WE ARE LGBTQ+ FRIENDLY! My assistant is RoRo who is a non binary trans Muslim person. So we don't judge anyone. I used to be a vet nurse but chronic illness and disability stopped that being viable. I am more than happy to medicate your pooch whilst they are here. Dogs are mostly kept in the daycare space and outside while in daycare. But for Sleepovers they can sleep in my bed or wherever they chose.

If you don’t physically exhaust them… they just won’t stop.
Whoa there.
Let’s look at the bigger picture.... not just a quick “fix” for today.

I get it, I really do.
Running them longer..... throwing the frisbee for another 10 minutes, chucking that ball again and again, because if you don’t, they’ll pace, whine and struggle to settle.

Here’s the tough question.
Is it helping your dog… or just creating a cycle where they crave more and more?

Their stamina climbs higher.
Their demands increase.
Their adrenaline is off the charts.

Then "suddenly" the amount of exercise you need to give them is unsustainable .
There just aren’t enough hours in the day to “satisfy” them.

What's the solution?
Do less… but carefully.
Reduce that high energy exercise, while adding enrichment in its place.

Low arousal activities that tire them in a different way:

Scatter feeding
Scent walks
Enrichment games
Puzzle toys

Still not convinced?
Try it.... really try it , for a few weeks.

You’ll never look at “tiring them out” the same way again.
