What if the dog becomes ill?
You would endeavour to contact the owner or emergency contact. The owner or emergency contact would be liable for any veterinary expenses incurred.

How many dogs can I look after?
The service is one-to-one basis with dogs from the same household only. You may take up to three dogs from one household, but you choose what you're happy with.
How are your carers vetted?
If you meet requirements, PetStay visits your home to check garden security, explain procedures, and show guidelines. If suitable, they follow up references and arrange public liability insurance for you.
What are the requirements of becoming a carer?
You must be a genuine dog lover with experience of looking after dogs. You need to be home during the day with plenty of time for dogs. You must have a secure garden and agree to PetStay guidelines. You may have your own dog if it gets on with others.
