Pet sitting services

I advocate in-your-home sitting while you are away for both short and extended periods of time, whether you work, travel, are on vacation, or simply need an extra hand around a busy household. Visits to your house cultivate a stable environment for your pets, allow them to maintain the routine and level of attention they are used to, and ensure they are safe, fed, and loved.

Additionally, daily pet visits are a good theft deterrent and is a great way of socializing pets that do not often engage with humans other than their owners. Cost is based on factors such as type of pet, frequency, and duration of visit.

I offer the following full-service pet care solutions:

Drop-in pet sitter visits and dog walks

Visits to your home are usually the most appropriate for your pet and include the following services:

Private dog walks

Feeding and fresh water changes

Litter box cleanup

Taking in newspaper and mail

Plant care (indoor and outdoor)

Taking out the trash

Home security checks

Rotating blinds

Special request services - such as pet medication or diabetic shots

Doggie day care in my own home

Dog Day Care **

Your dog is my dog and will be treated just like family. My house is secure, pet safe, and your dogs will get fresh water, plenty of shade, and lots of grass to play on. I do not use kennels but sometimes crating is appropriate for safety and security.
The yard is completely fenced and I have big back porch that the animals just love.

Dog day care also includes a very social and playful Golden Doodle named Dusty to keep your pet company and make sure he/she receives plenty of playtime. I pass out lots of hugs and kisses too. Most dogs leave my house happily exhausted!

Call me to set up an appointment so you can see for yourself! **Please note that this service is only available for pre-qualified dogs less than 30 pounds that are well socialized with dogs, cats and people. All pets must have a mandatory meet-and-greet before any bookings can be made.

In-home dog boarding**

Doggie sleepovers in my home
When gone for an extended period of time you may want to consider sleepovers at my house as opposed to drop in services. This would take the place of kenneling your dog, but in a much nicer home environment. There are no kennels at my house, only doggie beds. Your dog will be very happy and very well taken care of. Most dogs adjust well and enjoy the endless playtime and camaraderie of other dogs. We call it doggie camp.

**But please note: Dogs must be under 30 pounds and very well adjusted to cats, dogs and people. All dogs must be prescreened and come by for a meet-and-greet in advance before booking of any service. This is for the safety of all parties involved.
