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 there, I have my Greyhound who is in need of a place to stay whilst I'm away. Drop off will be in the evening Thurs 03/10, and pick up Mon 07/10. His food, collar/leash, toys & jackets will all be provided. He's a very loving young man who will require a short walk per day, and will be happy to chill with you for the rest. He's an inside dog, and may be vocal if left outside for too long on his own. He is toilet trained, and needs a home with no other animals, although great with children, would prefer a home with no kids also. Happy to chat more with any questions Cheers

Thank you so much for looking after my big sensitive Greyhound. He's had a blast! Will absolutely be coming back when my young man needs a place to stay. 5 stars - i Highly recommend

Dog boarding whilst caring for newborn- early August

$735

Maidstone VIC, Australia

11th Jul 2024

Hi, i had a 7 year old Bichon frise. He is a lovely , sweet boy who loves cuddles, food and nature. I am due to give birth from 27 July and will likely be in the hospital for a few days afterwards. I am seeking someone who is reliable and flexible to pick up my dog from Maidstone( most likely early August) and let him stay with you for 3 weeks ( approx 21 days) whilst I care for my newborn. I also need someone to drop him back to my home in Maidstone . I’m happy to pay seperate for this A few things about my dog, Socrates: Good: Cuddly, soft and gentle In good health Needs a walk- 30 mins a a day, longer is nice but not needed Smart- likes conversation and observant of routines, knows many words Affectionate- will give kisses and cuddles, will love to sleep in bed with you Generally clean- hates being dirty, tolerant of baths and washing feet and paws everyday if you are keen Quiet in the house - only barks if left alone and anti barking collar inhibits Good with other dogs Loves outings -Cafes The not so good Hates to be alone, has separation anxiety- will cry and have a bowel motion as a stress response/ as long as his outside that’s fine I have an anti barking colour you can use to stop the barking-‘will only bark when left alone and collar works Have an anti anxiety vest- he hates clothes but worth trying FYI- has one eye as he had to have one removed due to tumour during COVID. He is happy enough and play isn’t impacted He is sensitive to change and gone through a lot this year- ie, death and seperation ppl close to him, move house etc so I really need someone who is kind and gentle Requirements: Walk, affection and to be feed Safety - if you have a backyard he will love to have the option of being outside; safety is key. Happy to buy food Please give him anti depressants or help with anxiety - simply crush and hide in meat- It takes 2 mins to do -x day Honest updates about how he is going My budget is $35 a day.

Sol and family looked after my dog for over a month whilst I looked after my newborn. I can not speak highly enough of Sil and his family. They tooknterrific care of my dog who has returned happy and relaxed and they were flexible, experienced and caring; agreeing to extend my dog’s stay and experienced administering medication and proving lots of recreation to support my dog’s well-being. Sil and family are the gold standard/ thank you
