BEST DOG WALKING SERVICE: DOGS @ PLAY

For most dog owners, planning a trip overseas is nowhere near as tough as deciding what to do with the fur-kids while you’re away. Boarding the dogs at a traditional kennel is tantamount to incarcerating the pups at the Pentridge penitentiary. How would you like to spend your day locked in a metal cage with time in the exercise yard for good behaviour while mama and papa are partying in Gay Paris? Make no bones about it: Dogs at Play in Surry Hills is the guilt free alternative to sending your babies off to the doghouse. Now your four-legged alarm system can sleep safe and sound in your well-guarded house while you’re working on your tan. The lovely Amanda Raine and her staff of professionally trained dogs handlers will take your dogs for regular strolls in the park, mollycoddle your pampered pooch and scoop up the poop while they’re at it. If you think that bower will spend his days pining away in your absence, doggy daycare facilities are also available in Surry Hills. (Lawrence Gibbons)
