Doggy day care at the sitter’s home

Day care for while you are away

A doggy day care sitter will provide day time supervision and loving care for your dog in their home.

Daycare is a perfect choice for giving your dog additional enrichment during the day. Our sitters can also offer puppy daycare to give your puppy additional socialisation while they are young.

The personalised experience our sitters provide means that your dog can enjoy their day in a relaxed and safe, home environment. This is a much better alternative to crowded commercial dog daycare centres.

Frequently asked questions

Your doggy day care questions answered

What is doggy daycare?

Doggy daycare is day time care for your dog in the sitter’s home. Depending on the sitter you choose, you can also opt for specialised puppy daycare instead.

Is doggy daycare good for my dog?

Doggy daycare is great for giving your dog additional enrichment instead of leaving them alone during the day. For puppies, they would especially benefit from puppy daycare while they are learning to socialise.

Who will be providing dog day care for my dog?

Pawshake only accepts sitters who have experience and/or qualifications caring for pets. You will get to search, choose and have a free meet and greet with your dog daycare sitter prior to making a booking.

Will the doggy daycare sitter keep me posted about how my pet is doing?

Yes, your doggy daycare sitter will send you daily text and photo updates through Pawshake or your preferred choice of communication. This is included as part of your booking and there is no additional cost required.
