What Is Lapdog?
An introduction to Lapdog and what makes us different.
What Is Lapdog?
Lapdog is a pet care platform that connects pet parents with qualified pet care providers.
What makes us different
Unlike general pet sitting platforms, Lapdog providers are trained professionals across several specialisations. Our provider types include:
- Vet Nurses — qualified veterinary nurses who can administer medications, recognise signs of illness, provide post-operative care, and respond to emergencies
- Animal Behaviourists — specialists in animal behaviour who can work with anxious, reactive, or poorly socialised pets
- Dog Trainers — experienced trainers who combine care with positive reinforcement training
- Pet Sitters — dedicated pet care professionals for everyday sitting and companionship
Many of our providers hold multiple specialisations, meaning your pet gets the most well-rounded care possible.
Our services
We offer a range of services including:
- Home & Pet Sitting — live-in care while you're away
- Stay Overs — overnight care
- Visits — daytime visits for feeding, walking, and medication
- Telehealth — video consultations with a provider from the comfort of your home
Who we care for
Lapdog caters for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, ferrets, reptiles, pocket pets, horses, sheep, goats, chickens, cattle, and more. Whatever your fur family looks like, we can help.
Trust & safety
All providers undergo a thorough approval process including:
- Qualification verification
- National police check (must be current)
- Document compliance checks with expiry monitoring
- Interview
- Ongoing reviews and ratings
Your pets are in safe hands with Lapdog.
