Imagine a job where you get to play with dogs all day.
It’s a dream job that Amie Wreghitt gets to do every day thanks to her new business K9 Lodge.
Amie offers dog minding services from doggy daycare, overnight stays, house visits and dog walks.
She had a similar business 12 years ago, named Paws, Claws and Fins, but left it for full time work.
Recently she started doing pet minding casually through online websites and found she was getting a lot of responses – so much so that she quit her full time job in March so she could be available all the time.

The former Coffee Club building has been vacant since early 2017 when the company ended its 10-year lease to focus on its Empire and Stockland stores.
Now, after sitting vacant for years, a new business will take up residency in the space. Rocking Horse Antiques will relocate into the top floor, moving from its Tanby Road store at Yeppoon. With the top floor around 1,000 sqm, it s at least four times the size of the former store. The huge floor space means it might be one of Queensland s biggest antique stores. Business owner Gavin Daniels and store manager Patsy Geddes said the new location would allow them to have a lot more furniture and special items. The high ceilings will also allow them to have very tall pieces of furniture.
