Keep your pets at home to reduce stress. There is no exposure to other animals’ diseases as with pet ‘hotels’ or boarding places. Pets stay in the comfortable and familiar surroundings of home which eliminates the trauma that can be caused by boarding. We can visit your pet 1 to 3 times each day so there is no need to impose on friends and neighbors. We also take care of bringing in your mail/newspapers, turning lights on and off to give the appearance you are home, water plants, clean cat litter pans, play with your pets, administer meds if needed, and any other things you may need taken care of. Just ask. We can transport your pet to vet visits, groomer appointments, the dog park, or any other place they may need to go while you are busy or at work. If there are any services you need for your pet that are not listed here, just Contact Us and we can try and accomodate you. |

Pet Waste Cleanup in Yards or Cages |
|||||
Tired of stepping in #2 and living with health risk concerns of having dog poop in your yard?

As a result, dogs, children, and others who play in the dirt or step on the poop run the risk of infection and can transmit disease throughout your home and to others. We can come to your home on a daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis to perform yard pet waste cleanup. Your yard will look cleaner and be more sanitary, and your pet and family will appreciate it too! We can also service indoor litter boxes and small animal cages.

Doggie Potty Breaks |
|||||
Just like people, dogs hate ‘accidents’. Puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs have individual elimination schedules. We will take your best friend to an area where he or she can comfortably relieve themselves. Puppies need frequent potty breaks at least every 2-4 hours, especially crate trained puppies for proper training and socialization. Adult dogs should not have to wait more than eight hours for a break, and dogs kept in crates desperately need a mid-day break and a good stretch. Senior and mature dogs require even more frequent bathroom breaks as their ‘holding it’ can actually contribute to incontinence. If you wish to provide your dog with the opportunity for relief while you’re away, this is the service for you! These visits are for approximately 10–15 minutes and start at just $15.00. |
