How long-term care works
Long-term pet sitting is arranged case by case. The goal is to keep your dog in a calm, familiar-style routine with walks, rest, feeding, enrichment, and updates while you are away.
Because we cap care at small numbers, longer stays depend on dates, temperament, compatibility, and the needs of the dogs already booked.
- Extended in-home care.
- Routine-based walks, rest, and feeding.
- Quote confirmed after dates and fit are reviewed.
Planning ahead
Longer stays need more planning than a single walk or daycare day. We need to understand medication, behaviour, sleep, feeding, exercise, separation stress, and emergency contacts.
A shorter assessment or trial stay is usually the cleanest way to confirm the fit before a longer booking.
Pricing for longer stays
Longer stays are quoted after we understand dates, temperament, routine, medication, and how much daily support your dog needs.
If more than one dog is involved, we confirm the setup and price directly before accepting the booking.
What stays consistent
A calm routine, clear limits, and real updates.
