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.

Looking for a mobile dog groomer experienced with anxious dogs, for regular nail trims of our medium sized rescue - she's a sweetheart but hates nail cutting sessions, she usually jerks her paws away. My partner and I sometimes take her to the groomer together, or do the trims herself. Looking for someone who could visit fortnightly initially, and then monthly.

2yr old Australian shepherd who hate blow dry especially, and a 12yr old jack Russel very easy and used to it. They haven’t been groomed for 6months at least due to Australian shepherd being really nervous and snapping/barking at blower. She didn’t have a good experience. Need an experienced, gentle and patient groomer. No clipping necessary. Just usual bath, dry deshed, ears and nails clipped

I’m looking for a reliable and animal-loving groomer for monthly visits. My apartment complex has dog wash facilities available. I have two Pomeranians (5kg & 8kg) who are well-accustomed to being groomed. I don’t want their coats cut — just a thorough wash, brush-out of excess fur, and a proper de-shed.

My French bulldog needs a bath BADLY!! He's 4 years old and weighs 18kg. He gets a little bit anxious when I go to do it, and I cant stand seeing him in distress therefore I never end up doing it! So I just need a dog groomer to bath/shower him and be able to blow dry, clean his ears and clean his teeth. He's very friendly and has a great temperament, but I do feel like he has a bit of a phobia relating to being in water. If you have a set up ready to complete the job i'd be happy to travel to you. I dont think anyone with a mobile business using a van would make the clearance of my carpark entrance, which is i believe 2.1m.

My dog will be home alone. You will need to access my apartment near QV/ State Library and take him out for a 30-60min walk anytime between 1130 and 1pm so that he can have a wee/poop and a walk. We would need to have a ‘meet and greet’ so my dog is used to you before you do this without me present. Would suit a student or CBD worker- looking to make this a weekly event during school time for the right person.
Great communication and job done perfectly.
