What sort of dog do you have?  You live fairly close to me but I can't think of any 'local' ones.

I have a friend who does cat boarding (in her home, she is a TAFE teacher in animal studies).  I am not sure if she boards dogs too, she may well do that.  She is located in Mulgrave.

I know there is a boarding kennel on the way to Mornington Peninsula (after Mt Eliza on the FWY) as I've seen it when we've drive past, but no idea if it is any good or not.
