Comfort Meets Care: Expert Pet Sitting, Your Dog's Second HomeWhat experience and training do the pet sitters have with specific behavioral or medical needs?
Our pet sitters are selected from a pool of PAWS-trained dog walkers and daycare attendants, ensuring that they come with extensive hands-on experience in handling dogs with various temperaments and care requirements.
They are well-versed in dealing with behavioral challenges such as dog aggression and are competent in managing senior dogs or those with health issues. Every sitter undergoes rigorous training which includes behavior assessment skills, proper handling techniques, and emergency response procedures, guaranteeing a knowledgeable and safe environment for your pet.
Additionally, our staff is trained in administering medications and following specialized care plans to meet the unique needs of each dog, providing personalized attention and ensuring your dog’s routine is maintained just as it would be at home.
Can the pet sitter accommodate my dog's specific routine, including feeding, medication, and exercise schedules?
Our pet sitting service prides itself on personalizing care to meet the individual needs of each dog. We ensure that your pet's specific routines are meticulously followed. This includes their feeding schedule, any medication requirements, and exercise routines.
Prior to the stay, we gather detailed information about your dog's daily routine and care plan.
Our dedicated caregivers are trained to adhere to these instructions to the letter, ensuring a seamless transition for your pet while you're away.
Whether it’s a strict diet, a precise medication timetable, or a particular exercise regimen, our sitters are equipped and committed to meeting these needs with the utmost care and attention.
How is the communication handled between the pet sitter and me during my pet’s stay?
Communication is a cornerstone of our pet sitting service.
From the moment your pet begins their stay, you'll be in direct contact with your dedicated caregiver. We facilitate open and regular updates through your preferred means of communication, be it text, email, or phone calls.
Our pet sitters are committed to providing daily reports that include photos, videos, and a summary of your dog's day—ensuring you're kept in the loop and can enjoy peace of mind while you're away.
Moreover, if any issues or questions arise, our caregivers are instructed to reach out promptly to ensure transparency and swift resolution.
What is the emergency plan in case my dog becomes ill or injured while in the pet sitter’s care?
In the unlikely event that a dog becomes ill or injured while in our care, we have a comprehensive emergency plan in place. First, the pet sitter will immediately assess the situation and provide any necessary first aid. Simultaneously, they will contact the owner to inform them of the situation and discuss the next steps.
If veterinary care is needed, the pet sitter will transport the dog to the vet clinic or emergency animal hospital, using the contact and preference information provided by the owner at the beginning of the stay.
We have established protocols and relationships with local veterinary services to ensure that our furry guests receive prompt and expert medical attention when required.
The pet sitter stays in constant communication with both the veterinary staff and the pet owner throughout the emergency to provide updates and receive instructions.
Our priority is the health and safety of the pets in our care, and we are prepared to act quickly and effectively to address any medical concerns that may arise.
Can I meet the pet sitter before booking the service to ensure it’s the right fit for my dog?
Absolutely. We highly encourage a meet-and-greet session between you, your dog, and the pet sitter before you commit to booking our service. This meeting allows you to get to know the sitter and observe how they interact with your pet.
It’s also an excellent opportunity for the sitter to become acquainted with your dog's personality and any specific care instructions directly from you.
These sessions can be arranged at your convenience and are an essential step in our process to ensure the best fit and peace of mind for both you and your pet.

Pet owners are provided with the pick-up and drop-off times in advance, and we strive to maintain consistent schedules to keep the dogs' routines as regular as possible.
