Pet-sitting is an alternative to boarding while you are away. Many families and pets have taken advantage of this service, and tell us they prefer it to boarding. 

Some feedback we have received …

“Being home with several visits a day is less stressful than boarding away from home for my anxious dog”

“My dog is so used to his daily routine that he doesn’t even mind us being away because his life goes on “business as usual” while we are away.”

“My dogs are best friends, but do not seem to like other dogs.  Also they are barkers.  Having them visited in my house makes me feel better because I know they won’t get in a fight or bark their heads off”

“I have a small zoo!  A dog, 2 cats, fish, a lizard and a rabbit.   I can finally go on vacation because the pet sitter comes in and takes care of all of them at the same time!’

“I love that someone is at my house every other day while I’m away.  I know everything in my house is fine, my cats are cared for and my mail and packages don’t pile up on the porch.

“I travel for work.  I love that when I get home at 1 am my dog is there waiting for me and we can both sleep in, instead of having to rush out in the morning to pick her up.  Bonus: my plants get watered and don’t die while I’m away!”

“My mom lives with us, but doesn’t get around easily.  When Andrea or Jimmy come in to care for our 3 dogs, they check in on her as well!”

So, how does pet-sitting work?
Your dog(s) are visited three or four times per day (you decide) while you are away
Three 30 minute visits.     8 am  2pm 8pm
Four   30 minute visits.     8am 12pm 4pm 8pm
The times are approximate and we can discuss what would work well for your situation

Your cat(s)  can be visited as often as you need.  Some cat families only need an every other day visit, some one visit a day….. you determine what works for your situation. 

Your small animals (fish, critters, reptiles, birds) may only need one visit a day. You can let us know what type of care they need.

What happens on a visit?
Dogs: will be fed, water will be refreshed, they will go out to relieve themselves. (This can either be a walk, or playing in the yard or a bit of each.)

Cats: will be fed, water refreshed, litter box scooped and some social time to play and interact. (If your cat is the social type)

Small animals:  To be determined by you and your pets needs

So, let us know if this sounds like a service you are looking for, we are happy to help!
