I am often asked what I do when I house-sit besides sitting and watching Netflix. This is not true, as I try to ensure your dog has a holiday while in the comfort of familiar surroundings. It also keeps to its regular meal times and walks to reduce stress.
Dog Related duties during our house-sitting visit
Feeding time
The day begins with breakfast for me and the animals in my care. Each dish is prepared according to the pet’s needs.
Cool Treats:
When the weather is warm (yes, we do get warm weather and not just cold and wet) I make some frozen treats for your dogs
Cosy beds
Ensuring that every pet has a bed fit for royalty is essential. I fluff their sleeping quarters to cloud-like perfection, guaranteeing the utmost comfort during naptime. If they are used to sleeping with a human companion next to them, that is also perfectly fine, as I am more than happy with this.
Playful Adventures:
Hide-and-seek sessions during the day: I also ensure the dogs have engaging fun activities to keep them entertained and active throughout the day.
Shade Retreats: To shield them from the sun’s warmth, I create cool hideouts in the shade, providing a sanctuary for relaxation and respite.
Water Fun: Water games are a splash-tastic way to beat the heat and provide endless entertainment.
Nose Work: We engage their sense of smell by playing hide-the-treat games, stimulating their minds and rewarding their efforts with delectable surprises.
Restful Moments:
Encouraging regular breaks ensures they have plenty of opportunities to recharge and unwind, striking the perfect balance between play and relaxation.
Hydration Check:
Their water bowls are spotless and consistently filled, guaranteeing they stay hydrated and healthy throughout the day. Ice cubes are placed in the bowl during hot weather.
Keeping in touch
We ensure that their owners are kept up-to-date and send regular updates so you can share the joy of their holiday adventures and stay connected even when you are miles apart.
Other things we get up to that are not dog-related when sitting
Security
We ensure that the property remains safe and secure while you are away. We will turn lights on and off, draw the curtains, bring in the post, etc., and put out the bins when they are due.
Watering plants
Watering indoor plants or the garden garden is not just a chore but an act of nurturing the beautiful outdoor space.
