Doggy Day Care
Loving dog day care for when you are at work
Busy at work and need help with dog care? You can find a perfect pet sitter offering doggy day care in their home on Pawshake.
Pawshake knows you want the best dog care for your furry friend. Our pet sitters are highly experienced and can provide in-home dog care services when life gets hectic.
What is Doggy Day care?
Cosy at-home care for your pooch
Not all pets enjoy staying in a crowded doggy day care centre. Instead, many prefer in home dog day care in the comfort of a cosy, secure environment.
Our pet sitters don’t operate like a traditional dog day care centre – instead, you can choose the individual pet sitter who will be providing one-on-one dog day care services for your furry friend. Does your dog not get along with other dogs? Arrange dog day care with a pet sitter that only takes in single bookings at a time. Alternatively, your dog can make new friends during doggy day care – but usually only a maximum of 2 or 3 dogs at a time.
Why is doggy day care great for your dog?
Dogs are social animals that need companionship, so most don’t enjoy being left alone during the day. Being alone for long periods can lead to stress and even separation anxiety, but this can easily be avoided by booking dog care services through Pawshake. Your sitter will keep your pooch happy during the day with plenty of love and belly rubs!

Elena was "the" perfect sitter for my 10-month-old puppy(?)! We were out of town on vacation and we had to look for a pet sitter in less than 24 hrs or so as my aunt who was supposed to look after him had to return to her home earlier than planned for some urgent matters. Elena responded to my messa ...
