Expert hands, happy tails.
Lapdog connects you with qualified Vet Nurse Sitters who bring clinical-grade expertise to every tail wag, purr and nose boop in your home.
Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, horses — from guinea pigs to Great Danes, your Lapdog provider can handle feeding, walks, medication, telehealth consults and all the care your pets deserve.
What we offer.
From overnight house sitting to telehealth consultations, every service is delivered by a qualified Vet Nurse.
Clinically qualified care.
Every Lapdog sitter holds genuine veterinary nursing credentials, confirmed through rigorous review and qualification screening.
Your pets receive the same level of clinical attention they'd get at a vet clinic, delivered in the comfort of your own home.
Undivided attention.
No group bookings, no divided focus. Your pets are the sole priority from the moment your sitter arrives until the moment you return.
Every walk, meal and medication dose is handled with the undivided care your pet deserves.
The comfort of home.
Your pets remain in familiar surroundings with their own bed, bowls and backyard — zero disruption to their daily rhythm.
No strange smells, no unfamiliar sounds. Just home, exactly the way they like it — with a qualified professional keeping everything running smoothly.
How it works.
Tell Us About Your Pets
Share the details — breed, routine, medical needs — then choose a Vet Nurse whose experience is the right fit.
Meet Your Sitter
Your matched Vet Nurse visits your home for a proper introduction, so you and your pets are relaxed before the first booking.
Go, We've Got This
Head off knowing your pets are with someone who genuinely knows what they're doing. Your sitter can send updates so you're never out of the loop.
Have questions?
Every Lapdog sitter is a qualified Veterinary Nurse with verified credentials. We confirm qualifications, check references, and ensure each sitter carries current professional registration before they join our network. You'll never wonder about who's caring for your pet.
Tell us about your pets — breed, temperament, medical needs, daily routine — then choose a Vet Nurse whose experience is the best fit. Before any booking begins, you can schedule a meet-and-greet so your sitter and pets can get comfortable with each other.
This is exactly what Lapdog was built for. Our sitters are trained to administer medication, manage chronic conditions, handle post-operative recovery and recognise early warning signs. Whether it's insulin injections, epilepsy medication or post-surgery care, your sitter has the clinical know-how to handle it with confidence.
Sign up as a parent on our platform and tell us about your pets. Choose a Vet Nurse that matches your pet's care needs. From there, you're good to go — book as needed, with total peace of mind.
