Dog Minding in a Family Home - The Ideal Dog Boarding Alternative
As PetsOnMe is a community driven marketplace, the participation of each member can impact the experience. To ensure that all members have a positive experience, we ask that Dog Minders and dog owners follow these simple golden rules:
01. Dog Minders, Dog Walkers & Washers
Be Open & Transparent
Ensure that you offer the services you promise on your profile. Be upfront about pricing, exercise and where the dog will sleep.
Keep your calendar up-to-date
Save time for yourself and other members by keeping your PetsOnMe calendar updated so members know when you can and cannot mind.
Respond promptly to all enquiries
Members expect a timely response. You'll be rewarded by a favourable placing on search results when you do this.
Honour you word
A reservation is a commitment to another member who is relying on you to take care of their beloved dog when they can't. It's important that you honour that commitment.
Get the details
Provide the dog's owner with a detail sheet to complete and ask they return it on drop-off. It should contain information such as feeding requirements, vet details and contact numbers of the owner whilst they are away.
02. Dog Owners seeking Dog Minders
Clear & Concise
Describe what you love about your dog on your profile and also mention anything that a potential minder should know about your dog too. The same goes when making enquiries, be sure to tell the minder everything they should know.
Communicate
Always confirm drop-off and pick-up times with the dog minder in advance and ensure it's a reasonable time of day.
You supply all food & equipment
Unless otherwise agreed to with the minder, you must supply all the essentials for your dog's stay.
Bring the detail sheet
Don't forget to bring your completed detail sheet on drop-off so your pet minder has all the important information, including your contact details. Try to always be contactable by either phone or email whilst you're away too.
No need to pay cash
All payments are done online so there is no need to bring along cash.
