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.

AirTasker Post: Urgent Grooming Needed for Elderly Japanese Spitz Our usual groomer has had to cancel three times in the past month due to personal reasons, and unfortunately, today’s appointment was also cancelled. We’re urgently looking for a reliable and experienced groomer to give our 18-year-old Japanese Spitz, Archie, a full groom. Archie is a small-to-medium-sized dog, incredibly placid, and actually loves being groomed. Due to his thick coat, he’s overheating, so we’d love to get this done as soon as possible. If you’re available and can help, please let us know your availability and pricing. Thanks!

I am moving to Shepparton and need someone to take care of my 5 year old rescue dog from Monday to Friday for a couple of weeks. Dates: Mon 10 Feb to Friday 14 Feb Mon 17 Feb to Friday 21 Feb She is slightly dog reactive, so a home without another dog is best. She only needs walking on the lead 1-2 x p/day. Someone with reactive dog experience preferred! Maddy

Seeking a responsible and reliable dog sitter to care for and transport my dog on our wedding day. The ideal sitter will pick up our dog from Sunshine West at 11:00 am and drive to Truganina. From there, they will drive our dog to the city and remain with them for a few hours. Around 2:30 pm, the sitter will drive from the city to Maidstone and stay with our dog until 5:00 pm. Essentially, we need someone to chauffeur our dog so they can be included in our wedding photos. Well-behaved small Pomeranian. 2.5kg Thank you!

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.
