Services
Pet Sitting
Our all-inclusive pet sitting visits accommodate multiple pets with customized durations from 30-60 minutes. Services include feeding, medication administration, playtime, litter box cleaning, and home security checks. Each visit maintains your pet's routine while ensuring their comfort and safety in familiar surroundings.
Overnight Care
Professional overnight stays provide continuous companionship for pets requiring special attention. Our caregivers spend minimum 10 hours with your pet, maintaining nighttime routines and offering security benefits for your home. Ideal for puppies, senior pets, or animals with medical needs.
Dog Walking
Private 30-minute walks between 11am-3pm help maintain canine health and reduce separation anxiety. Our trained staff handles multiple dogs per visit while providing hydration and post-walk treats. Regular exercise prevents destructive behavior and supports proper socialization for dogs of all ages.
Pet Taxi
Safe transportation for veterinary visits within 5 miles of your home. Includes potty breaks and continuous pet monitoring during appointments. Available exclusively to established clients with prior arrangements for emergency situations requiring professional pet handling.
Potty Breaks
15-minute yard-only visits for pets in fenced areas. Services include water refreshment, treat provision, and basic interaction on demand. Designed for pet owners needing essential care without full-service visits while maintaining consistent bathroom schedules.
