Dog Walks

Dog Walks

Dog Walks

Dogs can't read a book or call up a friend when they're home all day. Weekly walks provide mental stimuli to ease boredom or anxiety, and it's good for them . . . because a regularly-exercised dog is a well-balanced dog. Each visit includes: outdoor exercise, refreshing pets' water, and a text/photo update.

Dog Boarding

In Home Dog Sitting

In Home Dog Sitting

Dog boarding is a more personalized and home-like alternative to traditional kennel-based dog boarding. Instead of staying at a facility, dogs are boarded in the home of a caregiver, often a pet sitter or a professional dog boarder. This service is ideal for dogs who prefer the comfort and familiarity of a home environment over a kennel or for owners who want their pets to receive more individualized attention.


All dogs are required to attend at least one day of daycare prior to boarding.

This option is particularly appealing to pet owners who want their dog to remain in a familiar environment, reducing stress and maintaining routine. The dog sitter typically provides several services, including:

  1. Feeding: Ensuring the dog receives its regular meals and any special dietary needs.
  2. Walking: Taking the dog on scheduled walks to ensure they get exercise and outdoor time.
  3. Playtime and Interaction: Engaging with the dog to keep them entertained and mentally stimulated.
  4. Administering Medication: If necessary, the sitter can provide medication as prescribed by a vet.
  5. Basic Training or Behavior Monitoring: Some sitters may also reinforce basic commands or handle behavioral issues.
  6. Overnight Care: Many sitters provide overnight stays, allowing the dog to have someone there while they sleep.
  7. Household Duties: Some sitters also help with light household chores, like bringing in the mail, watering plants, or taking out the trash.

Overall, in-home dog sitting offers a tailored, comfortable, and convenient option for both the dog and the owner, ensuring peace of mind while the owner is away.
