Answer

  Why use Doggie Day Care?
Have your Dog and your Freedom Too Putting your dog in Doggie Day Care is a big step for all involved.

Dogs love a break in the old day in day left alone boring life and it’s a great way to remove boredom which can lead to unwanted behaviours including barking, digging, escaping, chewing things they shouldn’t & fretting. Nobody likes to think of their dog in a create or a kennel or home alone, it is much nicer to know that your furry family members are in a safe and happy environment.

It shows that your furry friend has being kept busy all day with Play, activity and lots of love and care, this means you can rest without guilt or worry because you know in your heart that your furry friend has probably had a better day than you. This way you can sit back and relax and enjoy relaxation time together, without the ball every few seconds.

Another great thing about having your Dog in 1,2 or 3 different Doggie Day Care Homes is that you know you’ll always have someone to look after your furry children when you can’t be there(even on short notice) or when you want some FREE Time to yourself.
Have your Dog and your Freedom Too.

Doggie day Care makes for happier furry family members so when you get home from a long day at work or play and you just want to sit down and relax you can, without guilt or worry knowing full well that all is good in your world and your dog/s.

  How often should I use Doggie Day Care?
You can use DDC every day if you wish, dogs love company over being alone. You are welcome to whatever care you seek for your dog/s, we are all different and it really does vary for everyone. With this in mind some dog owners like to just breakup the week days with one or two visits to their Local Doggie Day Care.

Then some may want to go out for the night, away for the night or maybe the weekend or longer, having Local Doggie Day Care, Doggie Sleepovers and Holiday care contacts helps all concerned have a smooth transaction without the stress of unfamiliar surroundings. Your dog will have their home away from home and you will never feel guilty or have to worry again.

If you are a professional that works really long hours or even a short time but don’t like to leave them alone you might like to pay someone for Local Doggie Day Care, Doggie Sleepovers and Holiday care or you can have your dog/s in permanent (as needed care) when ever you need it care of a professional Local minder 365 days and nights a year, its up to you and it does happen, you will be able to find it on here.Plenty of people who work in time consuming job roles or travel a lot, need to know that they can still have a happy dog/s and their freedom too, these people pay around $10,000 to $12,000 a year for the dog/s that they love. These furry friends love their extended family and everyone is happy.

  Can I look after dogs if I don’t have a dog of my own BUT LOTS love and a fence?
Yes you can, please fill out a profile and start minding dogs in your home. It’s a great way to make extra money; you can do it for a casual, Part time or full time.
It’s great to know you are making dogs and their owners in your community very happy by providing such a wonderful service. Please only apply if you know that you have a
Safe environment such as secure fences and safe pool areas.
   
  How do I advertise my business for FREE on www.mindadog.com
Join us at www.mindadog.com with a FREE PROFILE and tells everyone what you offer, for FREE.
   
  My dog needs to be inside too, can you provide this?
Yes, many minders love to have dogs inside.
TIP Please make sure that you ask the minder if they take dogs indoors.
   
  What are the maximum dogs I should have in my care per day?
This all depends on what you feel comfortable with and how your dogs all get along, if you have a big secure yard and plenty of time to supervise the dogs and play with them, you will find the limit will come naturally, it might be a bit hectic but as long as the dogs are all happy and you are happy the limit is yours to decide, its your business.
The owners will be happy that their furry babies are having fun and getting lots of play and exercise, and you get to make more money, it’s a win/win for everyone.
   
  What do I charge?
The going rate can vary from Free or swapping care to around $40 per day, per dog.
If you were to charge $10 per dog a day, I am sure you would be very busy indeed, but don’t be fooled, looking after dogs can be hard work, the rewards however are lots of licks and wags and this makes it all worth it.
As a owner of 2 dogs myself I look for affordability and loving minders and when I can find it, I use $10 per dog, per stay care because this means I can use Doggie Day Care every day when I am at work and know that my furry babies are getting lots of love, exercise and attention. Many minders charge $25 per dog per day.
You can always ask what your new client would like to pay and work from there; it may give you a better idea of pricing to start. You can also ring your local kennels to get an idea of what to charge, this way your will be competitive in price but have the upper hand because you are in a home and the dogs are free to run around and play.
   
  What Questions do I ask the carer before using a new Doggie Day Care ?
How much does your service cost?
What amount of time does the cost cover?
Do you do overnight care?
Do you look after my furry babies for Sleepovers?
Do I need to bring their beds, bowls, food (many dogs like to have their normal food and this helps them to have a settled tummy too), toys (2 is plenty).
My dog needs medication, can you do this? Does it incur additional cost?
Can my dog/s come inside your home?
Will they be walked? If not you can hire a walker for some extra exercise if you feel they won’t get enough.
Do you have dog/s of your own? If yes, what breed & age?
Will you have other dogs in your care when my dog/s is there?
