Services
Dog Walking
Our dog walking service ensures your pet receives tailored exercise and mental stimulation. We offer 30 or 45-minute one-to-one walks, avoiding group settings to focus on your dog's specific needs. By reinforcing your training methods, we help maintain consistent behaviour while providing fresh air and socialisation in a safe environment.
Pet Sitting
Pet sitting services keep your animal comfortable in their familiar surroundings. We follow feeding, medication, and exercise routines while offering optional home care tasks like watering plants. Daily text updates and photos ensure you stay connected with your pet during your absence.
Public Holiday Service
We provide reliable pet care during public holidays with an additional $10 fee. Our services include walks and house visits to maintain your pet's routine, ensuring they remain happy and stress-free when regular schedules are disrupted.
Basic Home Care
Complementary home care services maintain your property while you're away. We collect mail, water plants, and take out rubbish to deter break-ins. This service ensures your home appears occupied and well-maintained during your absence.
Medication Administration
Our carers are trained to administer medications as required. We follow veterinary instructions precisely while providing compassionate care. This service ensures your pet's health needs are met consistently during walks or in-home visits.

Report
I used the services of Hounding Around whilst we were on holidays and my 9 month old labrador/border collie puppy was staying with my mother-in-law. Jonathon was very professional and communicative. I could see he had a natural affinity with dogs as soon as he met my dog and enjoyed the photos he sent me from their walks. I would highly recommend his services.
