Dog Sitting Services - Overnight
This service is provided by individual staff members here at Waggy Tales, so is arranged not on the booking system like our daycare but instead send us an email or social media message about your requirements and dates, so we can see which member of staff is free to carry out your sitting request.

How It Works
We have 3 members of staff offering sitting services. They run their own diary, accepting sits they are able to do based on the dates requested by owners, meaning there will be limitations to how many each take through the year, so don't delay!
​
All you need to do is simply send us an email or social media message with your rough location, dogs name, breed, other pets and your dates requested. That's it to get the ball rolling!
​
You will get a reply during our normal working hours (Mon-Fri 7.30am-5.30pm) from whichever staff member is available for requested dates, they will organise a consultation with you at your home to go over your details, your pets' details and needs for the sit. There will be a 30-40min walk booked (for free) where your dog and the member of staff organising your pet sit, will get to know each other before the official dates you're away - usually after the consultation.
Please be aware that the sitters will still be doing their day jobs at the daycare centre as dog carers, so there are periods where they will be out of the house, they will ensure your dog has plenty of fun stuff to do in the meantime, or why not get your dog in for a behaviour assessment at daycare too, and they can come to work with the sitter for some playtime and fun?!
​
Policies for our pet sits;
-
After the consultation and walk are complete you are then required to pay a 15% deposit of your total payable amount, this secures your dates requested and officially gets your sit booked into their diary.
-
If you need to cancel your holiday/pet sit you will receive this deposit back up to 14 days before the start date booked, otherwise you lose the deposit.
-
The full amount needs to be paid by 3 days prior to your start date of the pet sit so everything is settled before you go away.
Full details on rules and policies will be discussed in the consultation and must be signed as part of the terms and conditions before dates can be secured.
​
What About Daycare?
If your dog is already a daycare user, they can still attend daycare while you are away for half or full days, they just need to be organised with your pet sitter to work around their shifts, making it simple for your dog to be brought to and from daycare. This must be booked the normal way via the booking system on this website and is not part of the pet sitting price, this can be fully discussed during your consultation with the staff member.
​
If your dog currently doesn't use our daycare but you'd like them to, please visit out behaviour assessment area for details on how to join, and this must be done at least a month before you plan to go away so your dog has time to get used to daycare life.
