Away for weeks, not days.
Long service leave, a European summer, a work posting. Over a stay that long the routine matters more, not less — and so does the house. This is the booking I plan hardest for.
This suits
- Trips of two weeks or longer
- Pets who need genuine continuity, not a rotation of sitters
- Senior pets on a medication regime you can't hand around
- Homes that shouldn't sit empty for a month
- Owners in an awkward time zone who still want real updates
Maybe look elsewhere if
- You only need a few nights — book overnight stays instead
- You'd rather your dog stayed elsewhere — long-stay boarding can work too
- Your dates are still moving — talk to me first, don't guess
What's included
One sitter, whole stay
Not a roster. The point of a long booking is that your pet builds a relationship, and that only works with one person.
A written care plan
Agreed before you fly. Feeding, medication, vet details, emergency authority, and what I do if plans change at your end.
Vet continuity
I introduce myself to your vet at the start, so a mid-stay problem isn't the first time they hear my name.
The house too
Mail, bins, plants, deliveries, the cleaner, a light on in the evening. A house that reads as occupied.
Weekly summary
Daily photos as always, plus a proper weekly write-up — weight, appetite, mood, anything worth flagging.
Sensible update times
Set to your time zone, so you're not getting a photo of a sleeping dog at 4am your time.
