Services
Pet Sitting
Our pet sitting service ensures your pets receive personalized care in their familiar environment. Sitters provide companionship, feeding, medication administration, and home maintenance tasks like watering plants. Visits are customizable from 30 minutes to overnight stays, with GPS tracking and post-visit reports for transparency.
Non-Anesthesia Dentals
We offer professional dental cleanings for dogs and cats without anesthesia through our sister company, V.I.C. Pet Dental Spa. This service reduces risks associated with sedation while maintaining oral health. A consultation determines if your pet is a candidate for this specialized care.
Pet Nurse Services
Available 24/7, our veterinary technicians handle medical needs like insulin injections, fluid therapy, and ear cleanings. Services are performed in your home, minimizing stress for pets requiring regular medical attention or post-surgery care.
Overnight Pet Sitting
Overnight services provide comfort for pets with separation anxiety or medical needs. Sitters stay 10-12 hours, offering companionship, walks, and routine maintenance. This service includes morning and evening walks and ensures pets are never left alone overnight.
Dog Walking
Tailored dog walking services accommodate pets' energy levels and schedules. Walks range from 15 to 45 minutes, with options for mid-day exercise or regular weekly packages. Sitters focus on safety, stimulation, and reinforcing positive behavior during each visit.
