Day Care Service
Keep your dog happy and well cared for during the day — full or half days, at your home or at a sitter’s
A flexible option for busy work days, long appointments, or any day when your dog needs a little more company than usual. Every dog sitter in our community is carefully vetted, so you can focus on your day knowing your dog is in safe, attentive hands.
Daycare in Your Own Home
If your dog is more comfortable at home — whether they’re a young puppy, a senior dog, or just a creature of habit — this option lets them stay in a familiar environment while you’re out. A trusted member of our community will come to your home and care for your dog during the day, following your routine and instructions. You can choose a full day (approx. 8 hours) or a half day (approx. 4 hours).
Daycare at a Dog Sitter's Home
If you prefer care at a dog sitter’s home and think your dog could benefit from a change of scene, you can book the same trusted daycare service with a suitable member of our community. We handle the matching — taking into account your dog’s needs, the sitter’s home environment, and what works for your schedule. This is a great option for days when you need to be away for many hours — whether that’s for work, an appointment, or even the local wine festival!
When you send us your request, you can also make drop-off even more convenient with two new options:
- Drop-off along your route — share your office address or commute destination and we’ll look for a sitter along the way
- Drop-off areas that suit you — tell us which areas are convenient for you and we’ll check our community there
You can use one option or both — it’s entirely up to you.
You can book a full day (approx. 8 hours) or a half day (approx. 4 hours).
Full-Days of Fun
This service lasts a full workday or 8 hours and the dog sitter will make sure your pup has a blast all day long. After a full day of relaxation, play, and pampering from our dog sitters, we won't be surprised if your dog hardly even misses you!
Half-Day Hangout
Need a shorter option? Our half-day daycare (4-hour) option is just the thing! Whether it’s the morning or afternoon, your dog can get a quick dose of playtime, a meal, a walk, or anything else they need. So, you can focus on what you need to without worrying about your pup missing their mid-day walk or meal.
Routine, Just Like Home
We know how important your dog’s daily routine is for their comfort and happiness. That’s why we stick to their schedule perfectly—from feeding times to belly rubs and everything in between. Whether it’s medication, special care, or extra cuddles, we’re here to make sure nothing feels out of the ordinary!
What’s included?
Your dog gets attentive, personalised care throughout the day. The sitter will follow your routine and can provide:
- Walks
- Feeding during the day if needed (food is provided by you)
- Playtime, stimulation and company
- Medication or supplements if needed
- Any other specific daytime needs
- Regular updates so you know your dog is relaxed and settled
How does booking work?
- Create an account, add your dog to your profile, and send us a booking request. Start here — the process will guide you through.
- For daycare you can book in two ways:
- One-time daycare: choose specific dates you need care
- Weekly daycare: tell us which days of the week and the timings, and we’ll build a list of dates with you
- Please note: for weekly or recurring bookings, we may use more than one sitter to cover all your dates.
- Once we receive your request, we’ll either come back with any questions or match you to a suitable sitter.
- We organise a meeting so you and your dog can meet the sitter. This always takes place at the location of the booking.
- After the meeting, if you’re happy to proceed, we process the booking.
- Before the booking is confirmed, we’ll ask you to share details about your dog’s routine and care needs so the sitter is fully prepared.
- A small advance payment is required to confirm the booking. Once paid, the booking is confirmed for both you and the sitter.
