Extended stays

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.

Good fit

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
Be honest

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
Detail

What's included

1 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.

2 Included

A written care plan

Agreed before you fly. Feeding, medication, vet details, emergency authority, and what I do if plans change at your end.

3 Included

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.

4 Included

The house too

Mail, bins, plants, deliveries, the cleaner, a light on in the evening. A house that reads as occupied.

5 Included

Weekly summary

Daily photos as always, plus a proper weekly write-up — weight, appetite, mood, anything worth flagging.

6 Included

Sensible update times

Set to your time zone, so you're not getting a photo of a sleeping dog at 4am your time.

Quoted
Stays of 14 nights or more are quoted individually — the shape of the booking varies too much for a flat rate to be honest. Public holiday surcharges still apply on the relevant dates, and the estimator will show you roughly where it lands.

Questions

Before you book.

How far ahead should I book?
As early as you can. A long stay blocks out most of my calendar, so these dates get taken months ahead.
What if my return date moves?
Tell me as soon as you know. Flights change; I'd much rather replan than have you stuck. Extensions depend on what's already booked after you.
Can you handle deliveries and tradespeople?
Yes, if it's agreed in advance and written into the care plan. I won't let anyone into the house on an unscheduled knock.
What happens in an emergency while I'm unreachable?
The care plan names your vet, your budget authority and a local emergency contact. That's exactly why we write it down before you go.
