As a family, we love to travel. We have many trips in Wilma our camper and lots of weekends at festivals and often fly abroad and despite things generally getting more dog-friendly across the UK. there are still many times that we can’t take our beloved boy Hendrix. {Ad – Paid for post.}
If you are anything like us, then your pet pooch will be a much loved part of the family and leaving them behind can be worrying and quite stressful for everyone. Also, if you live in a busy area, the kennels and home stays can be booked up months and months in advance and if you aren’t organised, (like me!) or are a fan of an impromptu trip, finding care for your beloved doggo can cause some stress. Home stays are always our preferred option, and it makes the children happier knowing Hendrix is in someone’s house rather then in a cage, no matter how luxurious it might be! We also have several occasions where we need last minute walks, due to an ill child for example and it’s very helpful to have the online search function for this.
Thankfully, Gudog is on hand to solve all your doggy care needs, offering walking, cage-free boarding and house sitting across the whole of the UK, the concept is very simple, you add your location and dates and they will search your area and find you a match. You can then see reviews of the sitter, see photos of the house your dog would be staying in and even talk to the prospective candidates through the Gudog messaging system. You can also schedule a meet and greet beforehand to suss out the person caring for your lovable fur ball when you’re away. This can be particularly useful if you have children who are anxious about leaving their pup so they can imagine what their best furry friend is up to when you’re away. There’s even a handy app to make it even easier!
Another big bonus of the site is that you can schedule and pay online, saving you the hassle of trying to find cash on your way home from the airport, or scrabbling around for change when you are trapped at home with an unwell kiddo and need a walk for your canine companion. All reservations include emergency vet care and 24/7 customer support and you get regular text and photo update from your sitter. A big concern is always going to be who you are leaving your furry baby with and that’s why Gudog have a very rigorous screening process, this is what they say about their service:
- Gudog is committed to providing a secure and safe environment for all the Dog Owners and Sitters in our community. We are very selective with our Sitter community; every sitter has been screened and approved by our team. Our sitters range from professional pet-sitters to dog owners, who can all provide a loving home from home for your precious pup. All stays booked and paid for on Gudog are covered by our Terms of Service, including Gudog Emergency Vet cover.
So important when we are leaving our beloved little goofball to go on holiday, the last thing we want is to be worrying about our pooch when we should be relaxing and having fun. Sitters can earn extra verification credentials by taking part in extra tasks like completing phone interviews and providing 3 valid references to become even more qualified. You can also have your dog looked after in your own home if that suits you or your dog better.
We are really looking forward to trying out the service in the future when they have built up coverage in our area. You can never have enough options when it comes to doggy care.
