Pet Sitting
Our service provides your dogs, cats or other pets the care they need while you're away - right in their own home. We will feed and water your pet; exercise it; administer medicine, vitamins or other special care (shots, pills or drops) as needed and give it lots of love and playtime. We will also look after your home, giving it that "lived-in" look by bringing in mail and newspapers, adjusting lights and blinds and watering plants. You can return home at any hour of the day or night to find your home and happy pet eagerly awaiting your return.
There are many advantages to using a professional pet sitter:
-
Your pet remains in their familiar, secure environment
-
Your pet follows his customary diet and exercise routine
-
Your pet is NOT exposed to illnesses from other animals (as in a kennel)
-
Your pet receives love and personal attention while you're away
-
You are not inconvenienced by transporting your pet to & from a kennel (at their convenience!)
-
You do not have to impose on a friend, relative or neighbor
-
Your home is looked after with crime-deterrent services
-
And, best of all, you can leave home worry-free, knowing your pet and home are in good hands.

At each visit, we will leave a detailed note as to that visit's events and happenings so you have a complete record of our time spent with your pet. Upon your return, you will find a card requesting you to call or text us upon arriving home (regardless of the time). This insures, that should you be delayed for any reason, we will continue to make visits until we hear from you - so your pet will always be taken care of.
You are always welcome to check in (text is optimal for this) while you are away to find out how the visits are going and how your pet is doing. We know lots of Mom's and Dad's appreciate this!
