Services
Dog Walking
Our dog walking service provides tailored exercise routines for pets of all breeds and sizes. Clients receive consistent 15-60 minute walks with experienced professionals who follow specific feeding, medication, and playtime instructions. Each walk includes detailed notes about your pet's behavior and bathroom habits. Our walkers maintain strict one-to-two-hour visit windows while accommodating special needs like temperature-sensitive pets and medication schedules.
Pet Sitting
Professional in-home pet sitting maintains your pet's regular routine while you're away. Our caregivers provide twice-daily visits for feeding, medication administration, and bathroom breaks, with optional plant watering and mail collection. Each visit includes personalized attention and detailed status updates. We accommodate multiple pets per household and offer flexible scheduling options including holiday and emergency visits.
Overnight Visits
Overnight pet sitting ensures continuous care with a dedicated sitter staying in your home from 8 PM to 8 AM. Services include bedtime routines, nighttime bathroom breaks, and morning walks. Sitters follow specific feeding schedules and medication protocols while maintaining household security. This service is ideal for pets requiring constant supervision or owners needing extended coverage during travel.
Puppy Visits
Specialized puppy visits address training needs with scheduled bathroom breaks and socialization activities. Our caregivers handle crate training, feeding, and basic obedience exercises while maintaining consistent routines. Each 30-minute visit includes cleanup and progress reports. This service works best for puppies needing frequent attention during housebreaking periods.
Cat Care
Professional cat care services maintain feline comfort through regular feeding, litter box maintenance, and medication administration. Our caregivers provide personalized attention while respecting cats' routines. Services include environmental enrichment activities and household maintenance tasks like plant watering. Each visit ensures proper nutrition and health monitoring for multiple-cat households.
