Home Boarding

We’re always on the lookout for talented pet carers. If this is you, please email through your CV and cover letter detailing your pet care experience to sharon@petcarers.com.au 

 

One of our very popular pet care services is our Home Boarding.  Lots of love and attention and company, a secure back yard to play in (the yard is dig proof and jump proof as per local councils boarding requirements). We go for daily walks, and Home Boarding is in a relaxing, loving home environment. Please book well ahead as this is an extremely popular service.

We arrange a Meet & Greet with you and your dogs, so you can see Sharon's home and yard, where your dog will sleep (indoors), & the location on 3 acres. We always have our walks on lead. This gives you the opportunity to ask as many questions as you like, ensure we are a good fit, and it is then a familiar environment when your dog comes to stay.

If you have an anxious dog, we can discuss ways to minimise their stress. A one-night stay in advance of any longer bookings is a good option. This helps your dog/s know that you will return and it is so reassuring for them. 

We are able to board Dogs (Maximum of two) & they must be current with their vaccinations to a C5 level, and current with their heartworm and flea treatments. Then they can have all of the benefits of a home environment.

The Minimum Age for Home Boarding dogs is 4 months (as per the Domestic Animals Act- Practice for the Operation of Boarding Establishments) which Home Boarding is audited under. Petcarers Bendigo are audited by the City of Greater Bendigo council's Local Laws  annually, to ensure we are meeting all requirements. 

We don’t usually mix dogs from different families, unless they have stayed together before without incident. So, if you have just the one pooch, they will have the carer all to themselves.

We email or text you an update with photos/videos several times a week, which is reassuring for pet families.

We also offer Home Boarding for hutch animals, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats & mice. The rabbits can get out and have a run in the room each day. They are kept separate from any doggy guests.

The smaller hutch animals can have a run indoors. They will be secure and comfortable indoors, in a temperature-controlled environment. 

We provide one medium sized hutch on a stand. Would suit one large or two small rabbits, 3-4 guinea pigs or multiple rats/mice. If additional hutch animals need to be booked in, we would ask you to provide your own hutch. 

Hutch Pets $20- per hutch
