What do dog care services include?

Dog care services include a range of different services to maintain delivered by expert dog carers to ensure your precious pup’s well-being. This service can consist of grooming, sitting, training, or boarding your dog - they can be booked singly or in any appropriate combination.  

Dog grooming

This is a service that’s not only about keeping or restoring your dog’s appearance. Grooming is also about your dog’s hygiene and overall health, especially if they are longhaired breeds. Most longhaired dogs eventually have problems with overgrown fur clumping up and accumulating dirt and other debris. 

Matted hair must be removed as these clumps of fur are not only unsightly but can prove uncomfortable or painful for your dog. You can hire dog groomers to come to your home and provide your dog’s grooming needs; this can include thorough brushing of their fur, trimming overgrown hair and nails and bathing and drying your dog. 

Dog sitting

When you need to be away from home and don’t have anyone to watch your pet, this is an essential service. This is especially helpful when you need to be away from home suddenly because you can book the service on short notice. 

An expert dog sitter can go to your home to spend some time with your dog, feed them and clean up after they eat. Dog sitters can also keep them company. You may book this as overnight dog care, or as a daily service provided until your return. 

Dog Boarding

Another option to ensure your dog is cared for an overnight while you’re away is to take them to a dog boarding facility. This is an excellent service to book when you prefer having your pup in a more social environment. 

They can stay in a safe, warm and friendly environment with other animals and remain in the company of expert dog carers for longer. Some dog boarding facilities can give your dog their medications if they have issues or are seniors for an additional fee. 

Dog training

When you want to modify your dog’s behaviour and make him more obedient and calm or perform tricks for entertainment, you can book a dog trainer. Dog trainers can teach your dog to respond to your verbal commands or do other more impressive tricks like standing and walking on their hind legs, fetching items, rollover or other tricks your dog trainer can teach them.

I’m seeking a fellow animal lover to care for my sweet 11-month-old pup, Freedom, in your home. He’s an absolute joy—well-behaved and full of affection. Freedom adores other dogs, cats, people, and children, making him a perfect companion for a social household. I’ll provide everything he needs, including food, treats, bedding, and toys. Freedom loves his walks, so if you enjoy some outdoor time and have a backyard, that’s a huge bonus! He especially thrives in the company of other dogs, so if you already have pets, they’re sure to become fast friends. He’s also fine being left alone for a few hours and travels well in the car, making transportation easy. He weighs 5 kg. Because he’s still a young pup, Freedom prefers to sleep on the bed, so I hope you're comfortable with that. I’d be happy to arrange a pre-visit so we can meet and ensure it’s a good fit. I can also drop him off at your convenience. We’re located in Doncaster, so I’m looking for someone within a 30 km radius. Thank you so much for considering this! I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Grooming a dog involves several steps to keep them clean, healthy, and comfortable. Here's a simple guide: 1. **Brushing**: Start by brushing your dog’s coat to remove any dirt, mats, or loose hair. Use the right brush for their coat type. 2. **Bathing**: Use dog-specific shampoo and lukewarm water. Make sure not to get soap in their eyes, ears, or nose. Rinse thoroughly. 3. **Drying**: Gently towel dry your dog. For long-haired dogs, you may want to use a blow dryer on a low, cool setting. 4. **Nail Trimming**: Carefully trim your dog’s nails using clippers made for dogs. Be cautious not to cut too far, as it can hurt them. 5. **Ear Cleaning**: Use a cotton ball and a dog-safe ear cleaner to clean their ears. 6. **Teeth Brushing**: Brush your dog’s teeth using a dog-friendly toothbrush and toothpaste.

Looking for an experienced dog sitter to look after my kelpie pup (6 months old) this Saturday night. We live in Kew so someone in or around this area. She’s a beautiful pup, fully house trained and (mostly!) well behaved. She’s smart and gorgeous but does have a lot of pup energy. I’m looking for someone who sits dogs regularly so I know she’s in good hands while we’re away for the night.

It was our first time having our dog babysat by anyone so we were a bit nervous but Bettina was excellent. Made us feel comfortable and took great care of our dog. I would recommend her.
