Luke holding Cesar and Venus is the one on far right. Cesar is about 2 years old and hasn't been back to Dog Sitter Singapore for almost 16 months. He was here a few times when he was a tiny weeny puppy of 4 to 8 months. He has grown big now. The first time he saw me after a 16 month break,it was amazing he still remembered me.
The video below was taped when he was at Dog Sitter Singapore in December 2006 learning to shake hands with me.

Two Yorkies enjoying themselves
Billy and Booey are 2 Yorkies who belong to 2 different owners. They are like brothers,playing,eating and sleeping together.
Aren't they cute?
Billy is 16 months and Booey is 10 months old.Both of them are neutered.
ビリーとブーイ、この2匹のヨークシャテリアの飼い主さまはそれぞれ別の方々ですが、パピーのときから頻繁にドッグシッターシンガポールのホームステイに来ている常連犬なので、まるで兄弟のように仲良しです。ホームステイの時期が重なると、一緒にじゃれあって遊び、おやつを食べて、お昼ねをし、夜もユミおばちゃんと一緒のベッドで朝までぐっすり眠ります。ドッグシッターシンガポールにホームステイしているワンちゃんたちはみんなとっても仲良しです。

Charges and frequently asked questions at Dog Sitter Singapore Pet Hotel
Q) You charge S$50 a day per pet. I have 2 dogs so how much are the charges?
A) You will still be charged S$50 per dog per day and that mean S$100 for 2 dogs per day in your case.
Q)S$50 for a dog is rather expensive isn't it?
A)We do not think so.Let us compare with the pet hotel charges. Pet hotel charges anything from $20 to $28 for boarding per dog. Walking the dog ranges from $5 to $8 for 30 mins. Bathing your dog may cost another $8.Then you will to pay compulsary charges like de-fleaing and de-ticking which is about $35. There may be other hidden charges.
Let's work out and see how much would you pay a pet hotel per day for your pet dog.
Let's say boarding = $25
Walk 3x a day = $18 ($6 per walk)
Total per day = $43
( and if you add $35 for de-fleaing/de-ticking and$5 for bath and divide by,let's say 4 days of boarding,it may cost $10 more a day)
Therefore if you add the $43 a day for boarding and $10 for misc.,you would pay $53 a day.
But here at my place,your pet is Not caged up and sleeps in air-conditioned room with me if need be. We would walk your pet up to 5 times a day if you like and clean their legs and backsides after they poo poo or pee. We would bathe him/her 2 times a week and dry their fur/coat with a dryer. Here your pet gets 24 hrs care a day as well as spiced with love and attention.
In conclusion,S$50 a day is very cheap. Dozens of expatraites and local dog owners can't be wrong ( read their compliments in our webpage).
Q) Would there be other dogs besides mine?
A) Yes, there would be other dogs but we will try to limit the number to 4 at any one time.However,due to overlapping bookings we may have more than 4 at a time but it's rare.
There are times when your pet can be the only one here with us

A) We walk the dogs up to 5 times a day but it is all up to the owners.No,we do not charge for the walks.

Doggies who prefer our bed.
These 4 pet dogs share bed with their owners. A request was made by their owners to have them with us on our bed. We gladly obliged as the 4 of them were clean and free from ticks,fleas etc. They enjoyed staying with us.
写真の4匹のワンちゃんたちは毎晩飼い主さんと一緒にベッドで寝ています。ドッグシッターシンガポールにホームステイ中、同じようにベッドで一緒に寝てあげてほしいとのリクエストをいただきました。みんな朝までぐっすりと眠り、日中は楽しく遊び、飼い主さんが旅行中にワンちゃんたちもホームステイバケーションを楽しみました。
