Pet Minding visits:
Pet Minding is looking after people's pets in their own homes; we make visits to your house, so you can leave your pet/s in the comfort of their own home. We follow the pet/s normal routine as much as possible, to minimise disruption to them.
A typical pet minding visit involves visiting your home, check the house, collecting the mail, cleaning the pet's bowls, giving them fresh food and water, changing litter and cleaning the back yard, taking the dog for a walk. We also give any medication if required, give your pet a brush, cuddles and love and spend enough time to ensure they are happy.
As for price that depends on where you live, how many pets you have, what their normal routine is and how often you need a visit. Some people have us visit once a day, some twice a day, some every other day, and some 4 times a day. We have many clients and they all do something different, and so pay something different.. A great alternative to Kennel and Catteries. There is more information at our main Pet Sitting page
Dog Walking visits:
Another service we provide is Individual or Group Dog Walking generally in the middle of the day .We visit and walk your dog from home or put them in the car and take them to a local beach or park. It's good for busy people or elderly/unwell people who are unable to walk their dog. It's also great for dogs that get bored or anxious during the day and who suffer from separation anxiety.
Walks can be daily, regular or a one off booking. Dogs can be on or off leash depending on their responsiveness and how well socialised they are.
The Individual Walks are suited to puppies needing individual basic training like heel, sit, down, stay, wait and come or for older dogs that like their own space and pace, be that slow or fast.
The Group Dog Walks are great for dogs that enjoy the company of other dogs and are a slightly cheaper option
As for price that depends on where you live, how many dogs you have, whether you want group or individual, how long you want them out for and how often you need them walked. We have many clients and they all do something different, and so pay something different.

In Home dog Boarding: (where available)
Your dog can stay in the home of one of our Pet Sitters. They can have the choice of company of other dogs or being by themselves. You bring their bed, food, bowls and toys. It's especially good for little dogs that are used to being with their owners, puppies and sensitive dogs needing extra TLC.
They are taken out for a daily walk. An additional option is to join our group dog walks at a local park or beach for a great excursion at a reduced rate.
Doggy Day Care: (where available) Doggy Day Care
Your dog can be cared for while you are working, playing or out of town for the day, in the home of one of our Pet Carers.

House Sitting: (where/when available)
We have House Sitters on our team, who can stay in your home while you are away. These people are animal lovers that have pet care experience and have been through our Pet Sitting training. They will move into your house and treat your pets as their own.
Potty Breaks:
We will visit your dog to let them out for a "wee" break. Essential for puppies or dogs that can't hold on due to illness ie diabetes or being on medication that cause an increase in urination eg Prednisone
Overnight Stay:
One of our Qualified Pet Sitters will sleep overnight at your house to help keep your pets routine as normal as if you were there. Some people are more concerned about their pets being alone and their houses unattended at night. This is an ideal solution for unwell animals as they are likely to be happier in their own home and you will have peace of mind knowing a qualified person is there. A typical stay is 9 hours ie 9-6. Please book early as we can only stay at one house a night.
Pet Taxi Service/ Vet Visits:
We can pick up and deliver your pets to the Pet Home Stay, Doggy Day Care, Groomers, Veterinary Clinic or any other place they need to go. We can act as their guardian if you can't get time off work to take them to the Vet. You can talk to the Vet on the phone while we give them the reassurance.

Find it hard to give worm tablets or deflea your pets? Due for a nail clip? Our Pet Sitters are able to do this in the comfort of your home.

Turning radio or televisions on and off, watering plants and gardens and putting rubbish bins out and bringing in.
As everyone's pets are different, everyone's pet's needs are different. We prefer to come round and meet you and your pet for a free, no obligation consultation, to meet you both and discuss how we can help you
