Become A Dog Minder

Dog minding in your own home.

Reward yourself with a friend for the holidays and receive a little extra spending money too.

As a dog minder participating in the Woofers Sleepover program you’ll have the opportunity to host a dog at your home while the owners are away.

Our designated Sleepover Co-ordinator will assist in screening the applicants and then suggest a dog that will suit your lifestyle and home environment.

Woofers can help match a dog for you to host at your home while their owner is away.

  • Great fun
  • You have the flexibility to choose which dogs you want and when
  • 24/7 support including an on-call vet
  • Try various breeds before getting a dog of your own
  • A great way to give your dog a friend to play with
  • Sleepovers are ideal to teach kids responsibilty
  • Hosting a dog encourages outdoor activities

Tell us what type of dog you want to mind, and we’ll find a suitable canine guest to come and stay with you.

Sleepovers may vary in length so you could host for two days or two weeks or anytime in between (and sometimes longer!).

All the bedding, food, toys, leads, etc. will be provided by the dog's owner. All you need to do is supply a safe, secure home, appropriate exercise and take care of them like they were your own. Woofers are on call for any assistance you may need.
