Routine and temperament
What is normal for your dog, what unsettles them and what helps them feel comfortable.
The person behind Yarra Paws
Meet Charlize, your local dog walker and minder.
Personal care starts with knowing who is caring for your dog.
When you contact Yarra Paws, you speak directly with Charlize. She starts by learning your dog’s routine, comfort, pace and care needs before anything is confirmed.
