Pet Care

Support that looks after your pet too

For many of our clients, a pet is the most important companion they have, and the biggest worry when health changes. Sassential Care is the only lifestyle and in-home support service in Brisbane and the Gold Coast that looks after your pets as part of your regular visits, so you never have to choose between your care and theirs.

How our pet care works

Pet care isn't a separate service with a separate visit, it's woven into your normal visit. Your dog comes on the walk with you. Before your café outing, the litter tray is sorted. While we cook together, the cat gets fed. Included in every Lifestyle & Independence and At Home Support visit, at no extra cost.

What's included

  • Dog walking & exercise
  • Feeding & bowls
  • Litter tray
  • Basic grooming
  • Vet transport
  • Playtime and plenty of pats

Which pets?

  • Dogs: walks, feeding, company
  • Cats: feeding, litter, brushing
  • Birds: feeding and cage tidying
  • Other small pets, just ask
Good to know: we provide practical day-to-day pet care, not veterinary care. Pet care happens within your booked visit time. For anything medical, we'll get your pet to the vet, with travel charged at our published per-kilometre rate in a Sassential Care vehicle.

Why pets are part of the service

Pets keep people healthier, happier and at home longer. Yet most care providers treat pets as someone else's problem, which can mean an extra dog-walker to organise, or worse, pressure to rehome a beloved animal. We built pet care into the service because supporting your independence means supporting the whole household, including the four-legged members.

It's also why you meet Sass before anything begins: the free meet & greet at your home includes meeting your pets, so the match works for everyone.

Pet care questions

How much does pet care cost?

Nothing extra. Pet care is included in Lifestyle & Independence (from $95/hr) and At Home Support (from $90/hr weekday) visits, within your booked time. No separate visit, no separate provider.

Can you walk my dog while I'm at an appointment?

Often, yes, depending on the visit plan. Many clients have their dog walked during the domestic part of a visit, or combined with their own accompanied walk.

What if my pet needs the vet?

Vet transport is part of the service, within your booked visit time and subject to our published kilometre charges in a Sassential Care vehicle. For emergencies during a visit, your carer will contact you, your family and your vet.

Do you offer pet care on its own?

Pet care is part of our lifestyle and at-home support visits rather than a stand-alone dog-walking service, that's what lets us include it at no extra cost and weave it into your routine.
