Frequently asked questions about doggy day care
Your doggy day care questions answered
What is doggy day care?
Doggy day care is day time care while you are busy at work or otherwise occupied. Pawshake pet sitters offer doggy day care for your dog in their home. Have a free meet and greet with the individual pet sitter who will be looking after your dog and view the environment your dog will be spending time in. Depending on the sitter you choose, you can also have the option for your dog to be the only dog or organise for your dog to socialise with a small group of dogs.
Is doggy day care good for my dog?
Dogs are social animals that need companionship, so most don’t enjoy being left alone during the day. Being alone for long periods can lead to stress and even separation anxiety, but this can easily be avoided by booking dog care services through Pawshake. Your sitter will keep your pooch happy during the day with plenty of love and belly rubs! As a bonus, your dog will return home tired and happy.
How can I book a doggy daycare sitter?
If you have not book or met the pet sitter before, we recommend:
- Contacting the sitter for free via the contact button on their profile.
- Once they have responded in positive, arrange for a meeting in person.
- If the meeting in person was a success, click on "BOOK NOW" in the message thread.
Can I pay the pet sitter directly or in cash?
No, you need to make a reservation and pay via the website or mobile app. This way, you and your pet sitter are both protected in case of cancellation and will enjoy peace of mind knowing the customer service team is there to help at any time.
Most importantly, the booking is covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes free veterinary coverage and more. Thank you for helping us build a trusted community of pet lovers!
Do I need to provide anything for my pet during the doggy day care booking?
Our sitters want your dog to be as happy and comfortable as possible so we suggest that you provide them with anything your dog might need during the day, such as:
- Food and treats
- Harness/collar and leash
- If needed, a familiar toy to help them settle in
