Day Care
Daytime supervised care and socialisation
Your pet spends the day in a sitter's home with supervised play and activities, then comes home in the evening.
What is day care?
Day care gives your pet a full day of supervised company in a sitter's home, with playtime, socialisation, and rest periods built around their routine. It's a good fit for social dogs that enjoy being around people and other pets. Book a single day when you need it, or a run of days - you agree drop-off and pick-up times for each day, and you'll receive photo updates while your pet is there.
