Rather than the stress of boarding, your dog, cat, or small pet enjoys a structured and compassionate routine in familiar surroundings.

Families trust Wild Paw Adventures for our calm leadership and total transparency, ensuring your time away is entirely worry-free.

What Is Our Vacation Stay Service?

Vacation Stays are extended in-home pet care visits designed to support your pets in the comfort of their own environment. Instead of transporting your pets elsewhere, we come to your home for personalized care that maintains their routines, reduces stress, and ensures safety. Your pets receive companionship, structure, feeding, medication support, enrichment, playtime, walks (if applicable), and complete daily updates.

This service is ideal for multi-pet households, pets with special needs, reactive dogs, cats who prefer solitude, or any animal that thrives on routine. Our caregiving approach is rooted in gentle handling, calm communication, and training-infused awareness that respects each pet's emotional needs. Vacation Stays offer the reassurance that your pets — and your home — are in good hands throughout your trip.

Why In-Home Vacation Stays Are the Best Choice for Many Pets

Boarding can be stressful for many animals. Unfamiliar spaces, unpredictable sounds, and unknown animals can overwhelm pets who are used to structured routines or quiet environments. In-home care removes these stressors and replaces them with:

●    Familiar surroundings

●    Personalized handling

●    Consistent routines

●    Reduced exposure to triggers

●    A stable, predictable environment

Pets feel more comfortable at home, which promotes emotional stability and healthy behaviour while you're away.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions About Vacation Stays

  • How many visits per day do Vacation Stays include?

    We customize the number of visits based on your pet's needs, routine, and energy level. Some pets thrive with two daily visits, while others may require three or more visits per day. Our goal is to replicate your home routine as closely as possible to ensure your pets feel secure and cared for.

  • Do you stay overnight during Vacation Stays?

    Currently, our Vacation Stay service features scheduled daytime visits rather than overnight stays. However, our frequent visits ensure pets receive companionship, support, and consistent routines throughout the day. If overnight support becomes necessary, we will discuss your options and develop a plan that ensures the safety of your pets.

  • Will my dog still get walks during a Vacation Stay?

    Yes — dogs receive structured neighbourhood walks or private outings depending on their temperament and physical needs. We follow your preferred walking routine and accommodate any mobility or behavioural considerations. Walks are included if they are part of your dog's usual schedule.

  • Can you administer medications during the Stay?

    Absolutely. We can administer oral or topical medications according to your pet's schedule. We carefully follow your instructions, maintain a medication log, and monitor your pet's behaviour and comfort throughout the visit.

  • Do you care for cats and small animals during Vacation Stays?

    Yes — we provide compassionate, structured care for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small animals. From feeding and enrichment to habitat cleaning and companionship, we ensure your pets feel safe and supported while you're away. Cats, in particular, benefit from remaining in their familiar home environment.
