Services
Dog Walking
Our dog walking service ensures pets receive structured exercise, socialization, and bathroom breaks tailored to their energy levels and health needs. Walks include playtime in yards or parks, with options for 30, 45, or 60-minute durations. Clients receive GPS tracking updates and photos to monitor their pets activity, ensuring transparency and peace of mind while away from home.
Pet Sitting
Customized in-home visits provide pets with food, medication administration, litter box cleaning, and companionship. For dogs, we require three daily visits; cats need two visits to maintain routine and well-being. Additional tasks like mail collection and plant watering are included at no extra charge, ensuring a comprehensive service that safeguards both pets and households during owner absences.
Overnight Stays
Overnight stays begin by 8 PM and end by 7 AM, offering continuous supervision for pets needing extra attention. A midday 30-minute walk or play session is included to meet exercise requirements. This service is ideal for elderly pets, those with medical conditions, or owners seeking maximum security for their home and animals during prolonged travel.
Nail Trimming
Quick nail or claw trimming sessions prevent overgrowth-related discomfort and mobility issues. Performed by experienced handlers, this service ensures safety and calmness for pets accustomed to the process. Clients appreciate the convenience of adding this task to regular visits, eliminating the need for separate grooming appointments while maintaining their pets health and comfort.
Pet Taxi
Pet transportation services cover veterinary appointments, grooming, training, or daycare drop-offs and pickups. Our staff stays for the duration of the appointment, providing continuity and familiarity for pets. The service includes a 5-mile radius with mileage fees beyond, ensuring reliable logistics support for pet owners managing busy schedules or specialized care needs.
