Soggidog has been minding Pilbara pets for
over three years and is a reliable,
professional service that you can trust to take
care of your furry family members that are
unable to travel with you on holidays. If you
are an animal lover like me, you may have a
managerie of dogs, cats, birds and fish, all of
which can be taken care of during a visit.
A dog walking service is also available in the cooler months, should you be
away for an extended time.
Home visit: $25 per visit (once per day) or $20 per visit (two visits* per
day). Visits are up to 30 minutes and includes feeding all pets regardless of
number, and any other tasks that needs doing on a daily basis. If visits take
longer than 30 minutes additional charges may apply.
I am happy to administer medication or tend to any special needs your pets
may have while you are away and will call you if I am in any way concerned
about their health or wellbeing. If necessary I will take animals to the vet or
take them home with me if they need close watching.
Leaving your pets while you are away, as I know, can be a real stress, not
only for you, but for your pets aswell. As an alternative to boarding kennels,
daily pet minding visits can suit many animals that either don't transport well,
or don't cope well in unfamiliar ground. The advantages include a relaxed
experience for your pets as they are in a familiar environment while you are
away. Having your dog at home may also provide better security while you
are away if your dog is a good guard dog or deterrent. You will also have
peace of mind knowing that there is someone visiting your house daily,
checking security and noticing anything out of place around the house.
Soggidog pet minding service is available 365 days of the year, so you can
always count on the service being available, even for last minute or
emergency trips away from home.
Other home services
Many things, besides pet care can be taken care of during a Soggidog visit.
Plants can be watered, mail brought in, rubbish bin taken in and out, swimming
pools chlorinated, skimmer boxes emptied. Basically anything that needs
doing on a day to day basis. As I am mobile on the road in Karratha with my
mobile dog wash on work days, I am always available to call in to your home at
a moments notice should circumstances arise, to check on your pets or house.
Daily visits
Daily visits are made at a similar time each day, usually mid-late afternoon. The
time and date of each visit is recorded on a Pet Minding record card along with
any comments or observations. Most importantly all animals are fed and their
water checked and changed. Gifts left in litter trays by cats are removed daily
and the tray changed when needed. Doggy poop can be scooped from small
yards if necessary. Of equal importance, special attention and time is spent
letting your pets know they are still loved in your absence. Whether it be playing
fetch, tug-o-war, a tummy rub, supplying a face to lick, being a human rubbing
post or just a good cuddle and pat, (or in the case of some cats just being left
well alone!) I will find the thing that rocks their world! I really dont feel like I have
done a days work unless I come home covered in dog slobber, muddy paw
prints and hair!
If you are away for more than a couple of days I will text you to let you know
how your pets are going. You are ALWAYS welcome to call or text me to see
how they are at anytime. (I have even held my phone up to dogs ears so you
can have a chat to them too!)
Returning Home
When you return home, you will find a pet minding record card which shows
the date and time of each visit to your house. Comments are made of any
observations, problems or unusual behavior or eating habits. Please call/text
me upon your safe arrival home. Until I have confirmation of your return, I will
continue to care for your pet regardless of booking dates, until I know that
you are home safely. I will always ensure continuation of their care.
Walk** with Pet Care Visit: $10 (minimum 20 minute wallk)
Walk** only: $25 (minimum 20 minute walk)
**Please note that walking is only available in the cooler months. Visits are made mid-late
afternoon and this is often a time which is too hot to walk in the summer.
...Thank you for looking
after Max and Bella so
well this weekend. It was
great to see them so
happy to see you and
they smell fantastic after
their baths. Paula
Soggidog always offers pensioners a discount of 20%
Previsit (before you go)
Previsits are available on request at no extra cost. They are a great way for
introductions to be made and instructions to be given. Its a perfect way to
prepare nervous or timid pets with a treat or two and maybe try for a
smootch and cuddle while Mum and/or Dad are there to reassure.

So how does it work?.....
Not all animals are suited to home care, so please ensure your yard is
secure. If you are worried that your dog may fret and dig or jump out of your
yard then Karratha Boarding Kennels are recommended for your dogs
safety and your peace of mind.
.......Heidi is such a big
part of our lives and we
hate going on holiday
without her, your service
gives me peace of mind
that she is safe and
happy at home! I love that
you send a text message
to let us know everything
is ok and that you leave
the appointment card for
us to see when you came
by and if there were any
problems. Your service is
fantastic, we know that
you're reliable which is
important - I would
absolutely recommend it!
Honestly you run a fantastic business - we wouldn't have had the fabulous holiday without you.

Patch loves his fortnightly
wash visits from Libby.
Libby makes him clean
and smells great. Patch
has been washed by
Libby for 6 years, he has
never had a tick or flea
on him. Libby has pet
minded Patch and done a
wonderful job. We
recieved regular text
updates on how he was
doing. We will be using
this service again. I cant
recommend Soggidog
enough to people, it is
just a great service for
your pets. Keep up the
great work Libby, you do
an amazing job. Melissa
We were so glad to meet someone during the previsit who so obviously loves what they do
and adores animals. My cat took to you straight away. It was so comforting to know that
when we were away we had a trustworthy, reliable person whom our pet loved, to come in
and feed and care for our cat. I was very impressed to recieve feedback texts to my phone
while we were away, updating me on how Beauty was going - as well as my plants! And I
was so relieved when, after leaving the house without turning on the aircons for my cat in
the Karratha heat, I was able to get hold of you, let you know and without any hassels have
you drop by and turn them on for me, all without any extra charge!
Libby, my husband and I could not have been happier with the service. I will definitely be recommending you to our friends and are keen to use you again whenever we leave town. Congratulations on such a fantastic business!

To start off , Libby, what a fantastic website you have! It is
so easy to use from start to finish. It's helpful and
informative and tells you everything you need to know in
just a few easy steps. When we organised pet minding for
our cat, Beauty, while we were away in QLD for 2 weeks we
did it completley via the website and I was pleasantly
surprised how quickly I recieved a confirmation email and
date for a previsit to meet up with Beauty. It only takes a
few minutes to fill out the online form and it's done...how
easy is that?!
