PLAN YOUR PET’S CARE

Choose From Walks, Visits Overnight Care and Boarding

Dog Walking

Book a 30-, 45- or 60-minute walk for exercise, stimulation and a potty break at your dog’s pace.

Drop-In Pet Care

Keep feeding, fresh water, litter or habitat checks, playtime, medication support and company. Drop-ins suit pets that are more comfortable staying at home.

Overnight Pet Sitting in Your Home

Have a minder stay overnight, follow your instructions, and check the home. Familiar surroundings can help senior pets, anxious animals, and households with several pets.

Home Boarding With Us

Give your dog a stay in a family-run home without a kennel facility. A meet and greet helps us assess comfort, behaviour, and compatibility before confirming the booking.

Match the Arrangement to Your Pet,

Not Convenience Alone

The right service depends on your pet’s needs, not only how long you will be gone.

Choose a walk for exercise, stimulation, and a midday break.
Choose drop-in visits when your pet can remain alone between scheduled care times.
Choose overnight care for evening company, a familiar sleeping routine, or closer attention.
Consider home boarding when your dog settles well in another home.
Keep care at home when several animals have different feeding, medication or habitat requirements.

Tell us how your pet behaves. Their temperament and routine help determine the suitable arrangement.

Keep the Details ThatMatter From Being Missed

Share feeding times, walking habits, medication directions, comfort items, preferred play, and anything that may cause stress. Clear instructions help the minder follow the routine your pet recognizes.

Choose photo, text, voice, or care updates and agree on frequency beforehand. Stay informed about how your pet is settling without asking for every update. During in-home care, the minder can also check that all is well with the property.
