Services

Long commutes are common in this area, as are long workdays, traffic jams, plane delays, and last-minute meetings. If you are seeking a way to make sure your pet gets out in the middle of the day, we can set up a regular schedule of midday breaks and assign a primary walker to take care of most of these regular visits so that your pup can build a relationship with his/her walker. People who work from home also find midday walks useful for tiring out their pets while they are on teleconferences or working on projects. We’ll take your dog for a walk and/or play in the yard, feed if needed, give treats and attention, and freshen water. This way you’ll know you don’t have to rush home or worry that your four-legged friend has been holding it for too long! We understand that work schedules change frequently and make it easy for you to cancel or change regularly scheduled visits.

Available for our regular midday visit clients, a weekly yard clean up can help you enjoy your yard when you are home and not worry about stepping in any untoward piles! Using your poop scooper and bags, we can tack on a yard clean up to a regular midday visit and give you a little time back on your calendar.

Everyone loves puppies, but they do require extra care and attention! It is recommended that puppies get a potty break every couple of hours that they are months old; for example, a 3 month old puppy should have a break every three hours. We will work with you to create a potty break schedule that includes plenty of socialization, play time and any necessary cleanup. If your puppy isn’t quite ready to be treated as an adult at 6 months, that is fine and we can accommodate!

Older dogs, and dogs recovering from surgeries or injuries, may also need more frequent potty breaks. Talk to us about a schedule for your wise old friend to include time in the sun and fresh air, attention, slow and easy walks, medication and clean up as needed.

Don’t need a regular schedule of midday dog walks, but do need a go-to person to help take care of your pups while you run errands, take day trips, or otherwise enjoy the weekends? We can set you up in our system so that you are able to quickly and easily request walks as needed with as little as 24 hours notice.

Our horse-experienced sitters can provide care for your at-home horses while you are out of town or away for a long work day. We will bring in, turn out, feed grain and supplements, change blankets/sheets/fly masks as needed, top off water and hay, check for injuries and make sure shoes are still on. We can also clean stalls, take care of simple wounds and basic injuries as instructed by you, and give oral medications as instructed by you or your vet. We can also take care of chickens, geese, and some other farm animals. Of course, our horse people are also fabulous dog and barn cat people!

Whether you have one or multiple cats, we understand the needs and personalities of cats and the extra care some kitties might need when their people are not home. When you travel, we can provide one or two visits a day, between the hours of 8am and 5pm, to ensure that your feline friends receive the care and attention that they need. Please note that we will only offer a minimum of a once a day visit to cats and do not offer any cat sitting schedules that skip a day or more while you are not home.

Our cat sitters have great experience working with scared cats, giving medications, cleaning litter pans, cleaning up hair balls, and enticing the skeptical cat to play or sit on our laps for some petting. We can offer a Basic Cat Care visit which is 15-20 minutes and includes feeding, clean water, litterpan cleaning, and as much or as little attention as your cats would like, or a longer Extended Cat Care visit that is 30 minutes for kitties who really enjoy the extra play and social time.

If medications are needed, please discuss with us so that we can ensure that we appropriately experienced cat sitters available in your neighborhood.
