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.

Our mini cavoodle needs some maintenance! She weighs about 3kg and has a teddy bear style cut. She will need this trimmed, including her bottom and face, paws/claws trimmed, ear clean etc. We don’t like her trimmed too short, just enough to get through the summer months. We like her to stay fairly fluffy with NO poodle-like tail/ears etc. Thank you.

South Yarra VIC 3141, Australia

8th Sep 2024

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.

I need someone to dog sit my Maltese x Pom dog at their house for 5-6 nights. She’s 11 and may also need pain meds administered with her food for a neck injury. She’s very sweet, good with other dogs, not as much with kids (although wouldn’t hurt them, just growls at them so I’d prefer no kids house) Well trained, will provide her bed and safety things, food etc. You can walk her every couple of days but it’s not 100% necessary. If you go out for a night for NYE she will also be fine left at your home, maybe just put some calming music on (I have found recently she stays settled with it on and doesn’t get as overly excited when coming home) Needed from 29th Dec-3rd Jan

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.
