We provide dog walking and hiking, pet sitting, cat care, and overnight care as services – but what we truly provide is peace of mind to humans AND safe, loving, and reliable care to the pets we serve.

This could include taking dogs for walks in the sidewalk, woods, or beach, letting dogs outin yard to play fetch, cleaning up after pets, feeding and providing fresh water, scooping litter boxes, providing medications if needed, and of course loving them and providing lots of TLC and belly rubs! For traveling clients, watering plants and collecting mail may be necessary.
We ask you that you drive to these appointments with your vehicle, check in and check out of appointments using our mobile app, and write nice informative updates with pictures to let clients know how their pets are doing.
