Mia is lovely! From the moment we met her and her dog for a meet and greet we knew our dogs were in great hands and we felt at ease about going on holiday. She sent photos and let us know how they were going which was greatly appreciated, and she was friendly and easy to talk to throughout. Thanks Mia!

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.

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.

Dog Sitting — Gentle, Low-Energy Care 🐾
$100
West Melbourne VIC, Australia
11th May 2025
Hi there! I’m looking for someone to take care of my sweet, older dog Honey while I’m away. 15-21st May 7 days I would prefer someone local around north/west melbourne cbd Honey is very easy-going and sleeps most of the day. She just needs: 🐾 A toilet break once a day 🐾 Minimal walking (she’s a senior and doesn’t need much exercise) 🐾 Some gentle company and love She’s calm, friendly, and low-maintenance — perfect for someone who enjoys a relaxed companion. Ideally, you can look after her in your own home, but I’m open to other arrangements. All food, supplies, and anything she needs will be provided. I travel alot so this potentially can be a longterm partnership. If you’re a dog lover and have experience with older dogs, I’d love to hear from you!


I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Honey received! Jee Wee was incredibly reliable, attentive, and clearly has a natural way with animals. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was relaxed and happy when I got back such a great sign! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet-sitter. Will definitely book again!
