OVERNIGHT PET CARE
We offer overnight pet care for those pets who prefer to have a human with them at night. Our clients can feel secure knowing that their home has an added measure of security that overnight pet care provides.
Overnight Pet Care provides:
- A person to stay in your home with your animals while you are away
- Companionship for your pets during their loneliest (and scariest) time
- Your pets a greater opportunity for personal attention, affection, and play
- Added security for your home, and added peace of mind for yourself
- All of the services listed under general pet sitting
DOG WALKS
Benefits of Using a Dog Walker - For your Dog:
- Regular exercise to ensure good physical and mental health
- Exercise improves a dog's muscle tone
- Running and playing can tire a dog so he is less likely to misbehave
- Important socialization for raising well-adjusted dogs
- Daily mid-day visits for puppies help maintain a consistent housebreaking schedule
- Elderly and adult dogs need bathroom breaks too
- Crate trained puppies need to get out every 3 - 4 hours for proper training and socialization. Over-crating and under exercising can result in a hyperactive, under-socialized dog
- Walking provides routine practice for using basic commands such as "heel", "sit", "stay", and "come". (Dog walking is NOT a replacement for proper basic obedience training. We only support the dog's established training through repetition.)
Benefits of Using a Dog Walker - For You:
- A helping hand when you have a busy schedule
- No guilt at having a busy schedule
- Adequate exercise can improve a dog's behavior in the home
- Your dog may actually want to relax WITH you when you come home
- Relieves your concerns about leaving your dog crated
