 About additional pet sitting work.

Dog Days provides other services to its clients such as small pet sitting, cat sitting and dog sitting services. Each assignment only lasts for 20 minutes and is therefore complimentary to the boarding role. These services are generally provided by our walkers and boarders but only if they want to do extra work.

Pet sitting work is ad-hoc in nature, and the timing of assignments does vary (see website for more information). If you are interested in considering additional pet sitting work, please indicate below.

Please note - Your application will not be affected in any way if you do not want to do this type of work.

Are you interested in providing pet sitting services as well as becoming a home boarder?
Yes  No  Not Sure

Finally - why become a boarder?

Please tell us why you have applied to become a home boarder with Dog Days today and why you think you will make a good one.
