WHERE IS YOUR PET STAYING DURING YOUR VACATION?

WHY USE A PET SITTER?

When You're Away
 
Change and disruption in routine is much harder for your pet to handle than it is for you, its human.  It can be especially upsetting to very young, older, or sick pets.  Keeping the pet in its home environment makes it easier for the pet to cope during your absence.
 
At even the best kennel, your pet is exposed to various illnesses and parasites (fleas, etc.).  Your pet may also find it hard to get the rest it needs at a kennel, which is habitually loud from unhappy pets missing Mom and Dad.
 
Your house gets that "lived in" look while you're away.  We'll rotate lights on and off; open and close blinds, bring in the mail, newspaper, etc.  Basically, you're getting house sitter services for free.

When You're Home
 
Do you have a hectic schedule at work, unplanned overtime?  If you can't get home for your pet's potty break, we can help.
 
Does your calendar or physical restraints prevent you taking your dog for the walk he demands?  We can be there.
 
Is your baby convalescing?  If he/she needs medication or just needs to be checked on, we'll be there.
 
If your pet needs to go to the vet and you are otherwise occupied, we'll act as your pet taxi.  Same goes for that all important beauty appointment at the groomer's.

 
Sorry, we will not pet sit
animals that require live
food, such as snakes. We
can, however, recommend
another local pet sitting service.

FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION
 
Before we pet sit for you, we will come to your home and meet with you and your pet.  This will give us a chance to get to know your pet and his special needs.  It will also give your pet a chance to meet us so that a stranger won't be coming into his home.  We need to set up the intial consultation at least four days prior to your trip just in case incompatibility issues arise.  This will give you adequate time for other arrangements.
