Intensive Care Add-On for house sitting 🩷
At Downward Dogz we're committed to providing the highest standard of care for every pet we look after. Some dogs and cats have needs that go beyond a standard house sit. That’s why we created the Intensive Care Add-On.
Price: +£10 per night
This optional add-on ensures I can dedicate the extra time and attention required for pets with higher daily demands, without rushing or compromising on quality.
What Is the Intensive Care Add-On?
The Intensive Care Add-On is designed for pets who benefit from more hands-on support during overnight stays or extended house sitting bookings. It allows me to deliver truly personalised care tailored to your pet’s individual energy levels, behaviour, and exercise needs.
Why We Charge for Intensive Care
As a full-time professional pet sitter and dog walker, my time and energy are focused entirely on delivering excellent care. Bookings with intensive daily requirements (especially multiple solo walks) limit how many other clients I can support on the same days. The small £10 per night add-on helps make this level of dedicated service sustainable while keeping my base rates fair for standard care.
Many clients tell me it’s worth every penny for the extra calm and happiness it brings their pets.
When Might Your Pet Need Intensive Care?
This add-on is especially helpful in the following situations:
- Your dog requires three or more walks per day
- Your pet is not suitable for group walks (e.g., reactive to other dogs or easily overstimulated)
- Extra one-to-one exercise, playtime, or mental stimulation is needed to keep them happy and settled
- Your pet has higher energy levels, mild anxiety, or needs closer monitoring
- Medication, special feeding routines, or additional handling requires more time
If your pet falls into any of these categories, the Intensive Care Add-On ensures they receive the dedicated attention they deserve while you’re away.
What’s Included in the Intensive Care Add-On?
✅ Additional daily walks (up to three or more as required)
✅ Extended individual exercise and play sessions
✅ Closer behavioural management and reassurance for anxious or energetic pets
✅ More frequent checks and interaction throughout the day
✅ Extra time dedicated solely to your pet(s) without combining with other clients’ walks
This means your pet stays relaxed, well-exercised, and safe in their own home — and you get complete peace of mind.
