Doggy day care at the sitter’s home

Day care for while you are away

A doggy day care sitter will provide day time supervision and loving care for your dog in their home.

Daycare is a perfect choice for giving your dog additional enrichment during the day. Our sitters can also offer puppy daycare to give your puppy additional socialisation while they are young.

The personalised experience our sitters provide means that your dog can enjoy their day in a relaxed and safe, home environment. This is a much better alternative to crowded commercial dog daycare centres.

Doggy Day Care

Jordan, 16-08-2023

I left my dog Coco who is 14 years old in the care of Alex and his wife Priscila for the day and I couldnt recommend highly enough. They took amazing care of her and kept me updated all day with pictures and videos. She is usually quite anxious when I pick her up from friends or other dog sitters but she was totally relaxed and chilled after staying here for 10 hours, I was pleasantly surprised!! I can tell they really know what they are doing with animals and gave her the best care possible - thank you so much! 🥰

I cannot stress enough how incredible Patricia has been. Leaving our fur baby, Kevin, in her care is a decision we never second-guess. Patricia's dedication to our dog's well-being is unparalleled, and her own delightful pup, Archie, is an added bonus to Kevin's stay. Patricia's attention to detail and genuine concern for all of Kevin's needs set her apart. It's not just about making sure he's fed and taken for walks; Patricia goes the extra mile to ensure Kevin feels at home. In fact, I'd venture to say that Patricia's place has become Kevin's home away from home, to the point where he might even prefer staying with her. Our hearts are at ease knowing Patricia is looking after Kevin. Her warmth, professionalism, and true love for dogs shine through in every interaction. We can't recommend her enough to fellow pet owners seeking a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you immensely, Patricia, for giving us the peace of mind to enjoy our time away, knowing Kevin is in the best hands possible.

What is doggy daycare?

Doggy daycare is day time care for your dog in the sitter’s home. Depending on the sitter you choose, you can also opt for specialised puppy daycare instead.
