DINKWADs! Yup, that's us. My husband and I are DINKWADs- Dual Income, No Kids, With A Dog! 😻

🐶

A little bit more about who your pup(s) will be staying with:

WE. LOVE. ANIMALS. Both of us have always had one or another type of animal (more dogs than other animals) with us at any one point of our lives. I think the love animals give us is out of the world. There’s nothing that compares to it. There are no bad days when you have a pet around and that’s such good, positive energy to be around with. TBH, we prefer animals over humans 🤣

We used to volunteer with SPCA (separately before we found each other 😝) when we had the time a few years ago. Both of us have experience walking/ sitting/ boarding for our dogs and our family dog(s). We also have experience owning/ handling dogs of varying breeds, energy levels and age.

I am a healthcare worker and so I'm very observant, analytical and meticulous. I also hold a Diploma in Veterinary Clinical Science from Ngee Ann Poly. Although I don't practice as a Vet Nurse, I am equipped with the knowledge to be able to spot subtle signs of distress/ illness. My husband works shift and so there will always be someone at home to watch your furkids.

Currently, we own a Mini Goldendoodle. She’s 13 months old and we’ve had her since Dec 2023. She’s just a sweetie pie. We walk her twice daily. Our favourite pastime is playing hide and seek, and trick training. She’s such a gem and we feel extremely blessed to have been chosen by her.

Your furkid will be boarding/ daycare-ing with myself, my partner and our 13 month old Goldendoodle. She's well socialised with humans, kids and all dogs. She loves to play and she's very calm and gentle. She's also spayed, fully vaccinated with all core vaccinations, on heart worm meds, flea/ tick prevention and goes for regular vet checks.

🐶

What to expect during your pup(s) daycare/ boarding:

We live in a 5-room HDB flat in a dog-friendly estate that has many different parks. As we have no kids, we have plenty of space in our house for the furkids to run around. We have our own obstacle course set up in the house for our pup and all pups boarding/ daycare-ing with us are welcome to use the obstacle course!

We drive as well, so in case of emergencies (touchwood), we'll be able to bring your pup to the nearest vet at the soonest.

Your pup will be supervised 24/7 in a cage-free space. They're free to roam around the house once properly house broken. If they're not potty trained, a diaper will be worn for them. Pee pads will be provided for pups that are house-trained.

Your pup will be physically and mentally well stimulated during their stay with structured and supervised playtime, training, puzzles, etc. Anything that'll keep that happy and healthy! We're happy to help you reinforce any training you are doing at home as well ☺️

At night, they'll be sleeping with us in our room, or they can choose to sleep wherever they wish. Our room door is always open for them to enter/ exit as needed. We have dog beds if they'd like as well or you can provide your own.

Your pup will also be fed as instructed by you and exactly as how you'd like the food to be given. So don't be shy to let us know how you'd like your pup's food to be prepared. "Soaked in hot water and let to cool before feeding?" No problem! "Cut blueberries into half and freeze with yoghurt before adding to their meal?" No problem at all! We want your pups to feel at home and they do best when their routine is as close to what it truly is like at home with their hoomans for them.

You'll receive 2x daily updates (once in the morning and evening) without fail. And the occasional spams during the day when they're at play. Do let us know if you'd like to keep to only the 2 main updates of the day. Main updates will include their wellbeing, meal updates, poop consistency, any abnormalities noted, etc.

🐶

If you think we're right for you and you'd like to board your pup with us:

We'll arrange for a meet and greet for 1-2x to ensure that our pups get along well.

Let us know everything about your pup! Yes everything! No detail is too small.

🐶

If we're the Chosen Ones:

Once booked, we'll chat with you on Pawshake/ WhatsApp to confirm all details

We'll send you a list of things you'll need to bring along with during your pup's first daycare/ boarding with us

PLEASE TAKE NOTE:

Currently, we're only taking boarding requests during the weekends from Friday-Sunday as I'm back to working full time. We apologise for any bookings that have to be rejected- rest assured I will recommend you someone who will take well good care of your pup(s)!
