  • I have over 30 years experience with Dogs. I grew up with a house full of them & quickly learnt how to read their moods, temperaments & saw first hand what made them tick.

    I have been caring for Dogs over a decade & spend 85% of my life with Dogs from different different backgrounds. You learn from spending time with them, not by googling.

  • Currently we are in a home in Margaret River that is under 1000sqm.

    We do own 28 acres a beautiful home amongst the trees in Nannup. We lived & operated our business from there for 7 months but with all the extra commuting we decided to return to Margaret River.

    We take your Dogs out to lots of exciting spacious places during their time in our Care.

  • We don't ... Here's why....?

    We have never used their services for our Dogs so I don't want to recommend someone whose work ethic I have never witnessed first hand.

    I would first recommend contacting our Gypsea Tails Tribe girls to see if any of them are available (this can be done through me for an admin cost of $50).

    If they are not available then I would recommend posting on the Margaret River Pet & House sit page on Facebook. This page has over $5k people.. I cant guarantee how satisfied you will be with their service, but it is a safe place to start.

  • Yes we do!!! We have hoodies & shirts available on our shop.

    If you would like to get yourself any Gypsea Tails merchandise you can shop HERE:

  • As much as we do our very best to get back to everyone who calls we don't answer calls or messages after 5:00pm,. We ask that you follow up with us in business hours which is between 9am - 5:00pm.

    If you call our number on Wednesdays we will respond on Thursday. If your matter is urgent please email tribe@gypseatails.com

    We are a small business & have little humans at home too. Our evenings are precious.
