Services
Overnight pet sitting
Our overnight pet sitting service provides continuous care in your pet's familiar environment. Trained caregivers stay overnight to monitor health, administer medications, and ensure comfort. This service includes multiple walks, feeding schedules, and home security checks. Clients appreciate the personalized attention that reduces pet anxiety compared to traditional boarding facilities.
Daily check-ins
Scheduled daily visits maintain your pet's routine with feeding, medication administration, and exercise. Each 30-45 minute session includes waste cleanup, water replenishment, and basic grooming. We document each visit with notes and photos, providing updates on your pet's condition and any household observations to give you complete peace of mind.
Daily walks
Customized walking sessions accommodate your pet's specific exercise needs. Options include 30-minute or 60-minute walks with route preferences and pace adjustments. Our walkers follow strict safety protocols, using secure leashes and avoiding high-traffic areas. Multiple dog discounts apply for households with more than one canine companion.
Medication administration
Professional medication management includes oral, topical, and injectable treatments. Caregivers document dosages and timing with photographic evidence upon request. We coordinate with veterinarians for special requirements and maintain strict hygiene protocols during all medical procedures to ensure your pet's safety and comfort.
Home maintenance
Complementary home maintenance services protect your property during absences. Features include mail collection, newspaper pickup, light gardening, and interior lighting adjustments. Our caregivers follow specific instructions for plant watering and security system management, ensuring your home appears occupied and well-maintained throughout your trip.
