Services
Dog Walking
Our professional dog walking service maintains your pet's routine with customized midday exercise sessions. Available in 15, 30, or 60-minute visits, our trained caregivers provide supervised outdoor activity, bathroom breaks, and socialization opportunities. Clients can opt for discounted package rates with multiple weekly visits or specialized puppy packages requiring twice-daily attention.
Pet Sitting
We provide comprehensive in-home pet care for dogs, cats, and exotic animals while owners are away. Services include feeding, medication administration, playtime, and environmental enrichment tailored to each pet's specific needs. Our caregivers also maintain home security by collecting mail, watering plants, and adjusting lighting to create an occupied appearance.
Overnight Stays
Our overnight pet sitting service ensures continuous care with caregivers staying in your home for extended periods. Standard service includes evening and morning walks with 8-hour overnight coverage, while deluxe options provide 12-hour stays. This service maintains pets' regular routines while providing home security benefits through consistent activity patterns.
House Sitting
Designed for clients traveling with pets, our house sitting service simulates occupancy to deter crime. Caregivers perform customized security checks including light management, mail collection, plant watering, and property inspections. Available as ad-hoc visits or live-in arrangements with flexible scheduling options and automatic discounts for extended bookings.
Puppy Packages
Specialized care for puppies requiring frequent bathroom breaks and socialization. Packages include either 25 15-minute or 30-minute visits over eight weeks with twice-daily service. Our trained caregivers focus on potty training reinforcement, basic obedience, and behavioral development while maintaining consistent communication with pet owners.
