Holidays For Hounds – The Sun Herald

25 January 2015

Oh the guilt in your heart when you’re skipping the country for your international holiday and housing the hound in a boarding kennel. This new website matches holidaying hounds with minders who care for dogs in their own homes. Search by postcode and read minders’ profiles to find your pooch’s (interim) perfect match. There’s a one-off $55 registration charge for dog owners, $6.95 for minders and overnight rates start from $15 a night. See findadogminder.com.au.

My name is Felicity Thompson and I grew up on a farm in Swan Hill. As a child, I loved animals and spent most of my free time caring for them. From horses to cats, dogs to sheep, they were all part of my life. My horse was named Sunshine and she was so gentle and kind – even as a young girl she could carry me around with ease! My dog was Max, a loyal and faithful companion who always had my back. I now write articles for pet blogs and websites. I'm passionate about helping people care for their animals in the best way possible – from providing proper nutrition to offering emotional support.
