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.

Hi, this is last minute but hoping to find someone who can help out with my small dog, Coco, so my daughter can go away for a few days? I don’t have a lot of money but can pay $10 p/day and supply food. I’m funny about having people at our home that I don’t know, so preferably at yours please?

Doreen VIC, Australia

20th Dec 2024

Looking for a dog sitter to welcome into their own home & to keep company with two rambunctious but smoochy boys, Bailey & Roger from 24 - 30 Dec. Bailey is an 11 month old large silly Groodle & Roger is an 6 month old medium timid Staffy. They are both up to date with their vaccinations but not neutered. Both walks well on the lead & loves their treats. They usually like being on the outside yard during the day & cuddle up in bed with you at night. Both are toilet trained but tends to have accidents when nervous. They will come with their food, treats, bowls, toys & bedding. As they are very food driven, it is best not to leave any human food laying around exposed within their reach including bench tops & dining table as they are able to get to them. Both also chews & digs from time to time being puppies this age so this is something to mindful of & of course you got to be okay with. Daily walks & plays are recommended to help burn their boundless energy. They are best to be left outside when you are heading out. They will happily sniff & snooze the day away. We will drop off & pickup both dogs to & from your place.

South Yarra VIC 3141, Australia

Need someone to take care of my 3 year old miniature dachshund at your house. Slinky cannot be left home alone for more than 3 or 4 hours so ideally would prefer a household where there are 2 or 3 people. Preferably no other pets should be at your house during this time. Slinky is fine with teenagers and adults but sometimes barks at babies and toddlers. He will also most likely want to sleep in your bed at night (don't worry, he's 80% toilet trained which means he knows to jump off your bed to do wee on the training pads which I will provide.) I will supply his bed, leash, food and toys for the duration of his stay.

Aaron was very patient in taking care of Slinky whilst I was away. Unfortunately Aaron's house was a bit of a mess which meant Slinky's collar and leash went missing.

Looking for a dog sister until Wednesday night or Thursday morning for our Bichon frise. You will be minding the dog at your house although we will provide food. He is a happy and very friendly dog

Sil and his family took exceptional care of our dog, treating him as if he were their own. They kept us updated with photos and daily summaries. I highly recommend them for dog sitting. They exceeded our expectations, and our dog clearly enjoyed the walks and attention.
