Free In-Home Consultation
This initial visit will give us the opportunity to get to know each other, gather all the necessary information, get acquainted with your pets, and answer any questions you may have. We want to learn as much as possible about the pets entrusted to our care so we can provide the most appropriate care for your loved ones. Please have a copy of your house key available for pick up.

Pet Sitting
In-home pet care is a stress-free alternative to boarding. It ensures that your pets are well cared for in a stable, familiar environment. No boarding, no kennel, no small cage. Visits are customized to your needs, but typically include fresh food and water, a potty break, cleaning of litter box, play time, administration of medication, and monitoring of your pet's health and well-being.
During our visits, we will also perform basic house-sitting services, such as mail retrieval, rotation of lights and blinds, watering plants, and taking out trash. These services are designed to give your home a lived-in appearance while you are away.
Below are our most popular pet sitting packages. If your pet needs a different schedule, please feel free to contact us to discuss more customized care.

Quick Stops
Quick stops are offered to established clients who have completed a free in-home consultation and have chosen to keep a key on file with us. These quick visits are ideal for ensuring that your pets get the care they need if you find yourself away from home longer than expected or you have to work late. They can be used for quick potty breaks, providing fresh food and water, administering medication, scooping the litter box, or just checking to make sure your animals are safe.
