Services
Pet Meet and Greet
This introductory visit allows us to understand your pet's specific needs and establish familiarity. We review care instructions, tour your home, and discuss any special requirements. The 30-minute session ensures both pets and owners feel comfortable with our team before service commencement.
Dog Walking
Our 30-minute walks promote pet health through physical activity and mental stimulation. We accommodate weather changes by adjusting walk duration or providing indoor playtime. Regular walking services help maintain behavioral balance and energy management for dogs of all breeds.
Overnight Stay
This service provides continuous pet supervision during nighttime hours, ideal for anxious animals or those requiring medication. Includes one daytime visit for exercise and feeding. Particularly beneficial for senior pets or multi-pet households needing consistent care while owners travel.
Vet Visit
We transport pets to veterinary appointments and accompany them during examinations. Our staff communicates directly with veterinarians to ensure proper care documentation. This service includes post-visit reports and medication administration instructions for pet owners.
House Sitting
While caring for your pets, we also maintain your home's appearance by collecting mail, watering plants, and checking security systems. This service provides added security and peace of mind during extended absences without requiring pet relocation.
