Overnight Pet Stays

Beautiful black and white dog being cared for at Brisbane and Gold Coast based Overnight Pet Sitting

Worried about leaving your dog alone at night whilst you’re away? Or perhaps you have a puppy that needs constant care? Rather than sending your pet to a kennel or cattery, one of our team members can stay overnight in your home. We offer a couple different packages, allowing you to choose what is ideal for you and your pet. 

We wake up when they wake up, they can eat breakfast out of their own bowl, play in their own backyard, walk around their own neighbourhood, and sleep in their own bed. Our house sitting service helps minimise any stress and anxiety that your pet may otherwise experience in another home or location. 

Overnight stays in your home are also often a more affordable alternative to boarding multiple pets in a kennel or cattery.

Client Experiences:

  • Jane Andersen

    “Thank you to Emily who looked after our 8 month old English Bulldog Winston last night so we could go to a family function. It was the first time we have left him with someone non-family, and after looking at all the options of getting some help we decided to engage Happy Hounds as we had everything set up at home that he needs and not be anxious. Emily did a fabulous job with the overnight stays and Natalie made the process so easy that we have booked again. Thank you so much, we’re so grateful for this fabulous service”

  • Tabitha Thomas

    As new pet owners to 2 greyhounds, it can be hard to feel comfortable with just anyone looking after them. Natalie and the team have made me feel so confident in leaving my anxious pups on their own! They love Ebony - who comes for daytime visits and has done a few overnight stays. I honestly couldn’t imagine leaving them with anyone else!

  • Dale Riley

    I had Ainsly come & do a overnight stay with my two Frenchie’s last weekend. After moving into a unit from a large house & yard, I have been very worried about going away as my two need to be taken out to the toilet & also sleep on the bed & just need the human company at night. They are older dogs. After meeting Ainsly I felt more at ease & then after she arrived & sent updates & photos during the afternoon & morning I was totally relaxed & the smiles on my two faces in the pic’s I knew they were happy & cared for. I cannot recommend Happy Hounds highly enough & will be looking at a 2 night stay away in the near future
